I figured they just mentioned a random famous person who also gave birth there.

Consciously that's what the editor did, that's how he would explain it.

But the idea is to associate things in people's minds. If you can put bonnie blue and Kate Middleton in the same sentence then you create a connection between the two in people's minds, a very weak connection but it doesn't need to be any stronger.

Keir Starmer looked at the bunny rabbits. That sentence on its own gives a positive impression of Keir starmer, we don't know anything else other than there's Keir starmer and there's bunny rabbits, he could have hated bunny rabbits, but it doesn't matter, what matters is the mental connections formed in your mind and logically you associate bunny rabbits with happiness and niceness so you associate Keir starmer with those things too, not by much, but it doesn't need to be by much. Because this happens with every single editorial decision whether conscious or subconsciously

I took the association to be: Kate Middleton = royalty, of high distinction vs Bonnie Blue = depravity, of both low social and moral distinction.

The idea being Bonnie Blue's depravity is being amplified and she's dirtying the temporal space they shared.
