I've started a new thread because the existing AMW thread is dealing with the loftier side of things.

"I haven't got any money" seems to be a phrase that means different things to different folk.

It's reported that allegedly, Sarah Ferguson is experiencing deep personal trauma. Apparently homeless and with no known source of regular income she has ...

"...spent a few days with friends in the French Alps and is now thought to be in the United Arab Emirates".

Life's a bitch isn't it?

Vile comments. Not a fan of Fergie at all, but she has been accused of nothing, yet you all malign and denigrate her. Because of course you on GN are all seeing. This is very juicy for the anti monarchist on here. Do you know all your own family's secrets.
Be careful, slander can be answerable in a court of law.

What has happened to the Queen's corgis? Didn't AMW offer to look after them.
Sorry about the digression, but some of you might know.

Sorry to sound unfeeling, but I think the Royals have more to worry about at the moment than the fate of the corgis.

I think they’ll be ok though, they’ll be living it up in the Sandringham grounds.

🐶(no corgi available).

I saw a photo of the dogs last week - they were being walked by a staff member. I bet the relief was palpable, poor little souls. When you grew up as the pampered pets of a Queen of the realm, it can’t have done much for Corgi street cred’ to find you’d been re-housed with the itinerant Paedo formerly known as Prince!

I read that Sarah Ferguson claimed to be looking after the corgis, heaven help them - we must hope some servant stepped in

It would always have been a servants job wouldn’t it? Thank goodness

On INSTA , someone has posted their father worked at the Palace in the 70s and said Andy’s behaviour is the tip of an iceberg Allegedly…
Several have requested further info…and more posters say AMW would /could flee to DUBAI, where he would be welcomed and safe…
Ugh🙈

ferry23 - please don't knock RA lectures!
😱

I'm not knocking them at all. I was merely comparing my rather crass and irrelevant musings with a far weightier and more erudite form of communicating with one's peers.

Two questions:

Apparently Andy’s body guards went to the police station with him. What did they do all day?

Would you put money on him jetting off at the weekend to a far-flung desert kingdom?

No I wouldn’t put money on it - the tide has well and truly turned. I would bet however that his current protection officers are very clear as to whom they are answerable

I had visions of the police storming his bedroom before he got up.

All those poor teddies must have been traumatised.

Oops, the wealthy and privileged have different ideas about poverty.

Well, of course they do. It has always been said that impoverishment is harder to bear than poverty.

SF had a more than adeuate settlement from the RF when she divorced that would have kept her in comfort for life. She must have earned many £10s of millions on her own account. if she is broke now, well too bad. Stupidity is its own reward.

I suppose our equivalent of remembering being at Pizza Express is being at a garden party at Buckingham Palace.

Or in my case, rocking up to Waitrose intead of Aldi.

I found myself wondering if Andrew had been able to open his birthday cards, (assuming he got some) before his arrest.

I had visions of the police storming his bedroom before he got up.

They probably did, but gave him the opportunity to dress before he left the house.

Chestnut Fri 20-Feb-26 17:47:26

But surely he would have been at the Pizza Express early evening for the birthday, which left plenty of time to go sleazing around later on. The two things would not have happened at the same time. I could never understand how the Pizza story would have held up as an alibi.
(Sorry ferry23) 😟

Iam64 Fri 20-Feb-26 17:44:04

I’m so shallow/in need of a bit of humour in all this that I lol’d at ‘life’s a bitch’ ferry23

Worse, i enjoyed the facebook memes of AMW’s shocked face as he realised the two police women in uniform weren’t his birthday strippergram

As for Sarah Ferguson, she’ll find a way to live in a similarly extravagant way, as she always has. It seems the divorce of convenience has become a trial separation.

Tuliptree Fri 20-Feb-26 17:39:18

You know people can criticise you, people can complain about you, but when they are openly laughing at you, the game is well and truly up.

My error Woking not Wokingham.

HelterSkelter1 Fri 20-Feb-26 17:33:20

What has always amazed me is that I haven't read of anyone being able to confirm he was at Pizza Express in Wokingham on the night he was also apparently seen in a nightclub.
I think that was a daughter's birthday. No member of staff nor public. He was so adamant that he would not have forgotten being in Pizza Express! So down market I suppose for him.
One of the statements in that notorious interview which made people dislike and distrust him more.

I wonder if they ordered pizza in for him at the police station. Good birthday treat.

I bet he came out in a sweat when they offered him a Pizza Express takeout

Good try ferry23 on attempting a tongue in cheek, light-hearted thread.
Unfortunately, it seems to be going the same way as the other thread about AMW.
