Am watching and feel for everyone in the parade with all this b…..y rain … thought some of the carriages looked like big old prams of yester year🤔
Looking forward to seeing the whole family and Kate and children in a carriage

Fergie produced a photograph of herself with the late Queens dogs , I accept this is liked but not by me. Why do it ?

There had been comments from people in the press asking about the late Queen's dogs, and who was looking after them.
I don't think it was unreasonable of Sarah to tell people that she and Andrew had taken the two corgis in, it would have been comforting for some animal-lovers to know this.
Apparently Sarah and the Queen used to walk their dogs together.

Anniebach Sun 16-Jun-24 22:10:09

Why the photograph? It’s all about Fergie in truth , was the country worrying about the fate of the dogs? So why publish ?

What she said at the time of the divorce is 30 years ago, her latest I have heard June this year

I seem to remember that the now Duchess of Edinburgh also behaved foolishly and indiscreetly in the early days,something to do with an Arab Sheik? A long time ago now and long forgiven, but it was dodgy at the time. I'm sorry but am I missing something? Why after the Queens death was a photo of Sarah with the Queens dogs considered inappropriate? The dogs were taken on by Andrew and Sarah and now live with them, so surely a doggy photo is harmless?

Anniebach, l don't think Fergie has spoken out of turn about the Royals. Her downfall was due to the 'Cash for Access' (to Prince Andrew) honeytrap. It was so blatantly stupid that anyone would think Andrew had dreamt it up.

OldFrill, I have never said she has spoken unkindly, I speak of
her many interviews when she has spoken of them , seems I am alone with this opinion, the Queen died Fergie produced a photograph of herself with the late Queens dogs , I accept this is liked but not by me. Why do it ?

She's not being bashed.
Working Royals were on the balcony.

Bashed by posters, here.

Not bashed by anyone apart from here, as far as I can discern.

Oh, I see, sorry I misunderstood. Apologies.

I thought you meant by the RF by not being allowed on the balcony.

Thank you. No need for the apology - I don't write well.

Evidence? Links?

Anniebach Sun 16-Jun-24 21:13:55

The Queen, Andrew, Harry, Megan, Catherine, The King ,
Courtiers .

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 16-Jun-24 21:10:36

Who has she sold stories about?

Anniebach Sun 16-Jun-24 21:08:34

GSM I am giving my opinion on a woman who sells stories
about her husband family,if you think this is bitter start a thread on Burrell who sells stories of former employers , yuck

For me selling stories a betrayal, I accept you don’t agree

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 16-Jun-24 20:51:03

You are very bitter about her Annie. She has more than paid the price for the mistake which led to her divorce. Her husband has forgiven her, as has the King. What gives you the right to sit in judgement?

Following the divorce she was allowed to keep the title ‘Duchess of York ‘ but not HRH,

Oh dear.

Fergie wasn't on the balcony yesterday - why is she being bashed? She appears to be a good mum, a support to her ex and the late Queen.

Of course not.

She is a member of the family but not a working Royal.

Indeed.

To that I ask why is she being bashed?

Yes, so she makes money speaking of her ex in-laws

But she isn’t trashing them.

M0nica Sun 16-Jun-24 18:36:58

But, as we said, Anniebach she has her living to earn and she will get paid for these interviews.

Anniebach Sun 16-Jun-24 17:28:35

We see things differently, have different values, she is free to
give interviews and does so,

June this year on This Morning, she is so proud of the king and so proud of Princess Catherine .

Also melanoma G.s.m, so two different cancers virtually at the,same time! Very unpleasant. My much loved cousin died of melanoma, some time ago now (2005). I know treatments have improved greatly, but even so it is a nasty condition to be afflicted with. I agree, I think Sarah is basically a good egg.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 16-Jun-24 17:01:46

She has had a difficult time with breast cancer recently. I too wish her well. She strikes me as the sort of person you could rely on in a crisis. A loyal person who is still being punished for mistakes in the past.

Watched it and loved it as always. This post is also a 'bump' re a spam post that I have reported.
