- Unlike the other characters who contributed postscripts to "The Black Prince," Julian has had the advantage of reading the others' postscripts along with Bradley Pearson's story.
- Julian's response to Bradley's narrative is often vague. She doesn't deny absolutely that Bradley has invented things that she said and did, but she claims not to be able to remember her own words and actions well enough to say for sure.
- Julian does refute Bradley's characterization of her relationship with her father, and especially of her father's opinions concerning her own artistic ambitions.
- As she draws her comments to a close, Julian reflects on the nature of art, quibbling more with Bradley's arguments on this subject than with any of the other statements he makes in his book.
- Last but not least, after signing off, Julian appends a few additional comments to her original response. These are extraordinarily ambivalent, as they suggest that both Rachel's and Bradley's versions of events have elements of truth. In her final words, Julian acknowledges that she loved Bradley when she was younger, but she states that his words fail to describe that love properly.
- In her words, "The Black Prince" is "[a] literary failure" (Postscript by Julian: par. 15).
