I do like her. Plucky is the word that comes to mind.

Anniebach Mon 01-Apr-24 14:11:47

I don’t like camera seekers and she certainly does seek

BlueBelle Mon 01-Apr-24 14:16:54

I like Fergie shes got a bit of fire in her belly and seems a caring person whose made as many mistakes as saintly Diane made but what a difference in treatment by the masses
The late Queen seemed to like her
…and look at all the nastiness against Camilla who is now doing a sterling job holding things together for Charles

Oh Doodlebug I thought you were being nasty for a second there 🤣

I’ve been feeling rather down today until I saw your photo Doodledog and it gave me such a laugh. Thanks for cheering me up 👍

I'm pleased nobody has taken it the wrong way - it was a genuine mistake grin. I had two pages open at once, went to find a photo of Cilla for the Corrie thread, and posted it into the wrong one.

I realise they both have red hair and. . . But it was absolutely unintentional. I don't get involved in RF threads. Thanks for understanding.

A very happy accident doodle

It was hilarious. I thought it was meant to be Fergie's family. 😂

The previous picture was very flattering but it wasn't a recent picture. I'm afraid this is what she actually wore this time. She really needs a stylist.

I notice the other ladies wore boots and looked very nicely turned out.

Joseann Mon 01-Apr-24 17:23:54

Sophie looked very stylish, and wasn't wearing boots!

BlueBelle Mon 01-Apr-24 17:30:34

What’s wrong with how she looks Chestnut she probably has a little bit more weight and a looser coat would look better but she’s not looking dreadful….poor woman can’t do right for doing wrong, however I doubt it would worry her too much

I thought Camilla looked great, and Princess Anne looked good also.

Camilla really suits hats.

Camilla and Anne were wearing boots with sensible heels and looked comfortable. Fergie's skirts are always too short and the spindly heels never look good on her. One day she will take a tumble I'm sure. I agree Sophie looks good but she is quite slender and can get away with it.

Well, whatever she was wearing, it’s good to see Sarah looking well after her cancer scares.

Puts it all into perspective, doesn’t it really?

Sallywally1 Mon 01-Apr-24 17:45:31

I have no opinion on her really, but it irritates me that she is called fergie, when she has such a lovely first name. I mean, who cares.

BlueBelle Mon 01-Apr-24 17:48:19

I think it’s a bit harsh to be so picky she was obviously comfortable with her clothes and she has had a breast removed in an 8 hour operation last year so maybe more worried about being up and running than looking like she’s in vogue
( she calls her reconstructed breast Derek)

zakouma66 Mon 01-Apr-24 17:54:44

Sarah has always done her own thing re fashion. To me, there is something likeable and vulnerable about her. But please, she has professional people about her to suggest comfortable and stylish clothing.

Funny old world, Royal women.

Mollygo Tue 02-Apr-24 11:28:43

I like Fergie and she’ll serve a useful purpose giving people someone else to pick on.

Sarah was with Andrew at the Memorial service for King Constantine.
Sarah, Duchess of York and Prince Andrew joined the British royal family at a thanksgiving service in Windsor for the late King Constantine II on Tuesday. feb 2024

And why should't she? Presumably, the outgoing, funny girl she was and the woman she matured into, got on well with the Greek royal family that like Fergie have a sense of humour.

Anniebach Tue 02-Apr-24 11:40:36

Some are open for criticism some not

JaneJudge Tue 02-Apr-24 11:43:45

maybe Sarah chooses her own clothes?

annifrance Tue 02-Apr-24 11:46:37

Why pick on the faux pas she made decades ago during a period of mispent youth. Haven't we all been there one way or another?

sSe has been an excellent mother to her girls, has supported her somewhat dodgy ex-husband, extraordinary. I couldn't have done that.

She looks pretty good for her age whatever she wears, which is her business. She has done a lot for charity I understand suffered cancer and a traumatic operation.

Give her a break. And those on this site that perport to be Christian how about a little Christian forgiveness.

Anniebach Tue 02-Apr-24 11:56:59

It’s not for me to forgive her, she never caused me hurt

Damdee Tue 02-Apr-24 11:58:57

I don't mind Fergie and I heard she took the late Queen's corgis which was nice of her.

zakouma66 Tue 02-Apr-24 12:02:48

annifrance, You are quite right. Its unpleasant to say nasty things about her style. I don't know her and I'll never know her.

Its just she is so very much on display and maybe some better fitting garments would help.

Anniebach Tue 02-Apr-24 12:06:08

annifrance you should forgive Andrew if you are a Christian?

Claennis Tue 02-Apr-24 13:00:11

Fergie's OK. Yes, she does like the camera; yes, she likes to give her opinion. But she's an extrovert and very sociable. She likes people and she likes to be out and about, so why shouldn't she be true to who she is as a person. Also, perhaps you've noticed, as I have, that it's never a nasty opinion or negative about another person. And through all her silliness when young, she never did say anything negative about her naysayers. She could have grumbled about Phillip being a stiff old stick and cutting her off. She could have distanced herself from her ex-husband. But she didn't. And her girls are a credit to her. They're loyal, which seems to have been a core value she passed on to them. They respect their parents, and they don't snipe about other people. Unlike SOME (you know who!) in the RF!!!
