    I find it interesting that there are common denominators with Di, Fergie and Rachel who, after marrying into the RF, created scandals. 1) Their parents were divorced. 2) They were, for the most part, raised by their fathers. 3) Each claimed they were "victims" of not just the newspapers, but of the RF and the firm's employees. Could it be that, without their maternal parent to guide them in growing up they lacked the learning of social necessities so much so that they over indulged themselves and became entrenched with their own entitlement?

      @@Jeanne90275 when Charles was asked about being in love he said what is love. That was a big ringing alarm bells, had Diana ever been out with other men before Charles, documented that she was a virgin, he had dated one of her older sisters. The late Queens mother and Diane grandmother instageted the marriage, which was good for the Spencer family. As a grown woman her and Charles had only seen each other about a dozen times before the wedding. She must have known about camilla. Yet still went ahead with the marriage. Very naive. And I did like Diana at the time, but as you get older and more things come out etc then you realise she was used as a brood mare but she lost that innocence and used the 3 in a marriage quip for sympathy, I felt like others Charles was in the wrong but they were really not suited. I feel like it was an arranged marriage. No winners only losers.

    I honestly cannot feel sorry for Sarah. It seems to me she is stuck in an emotional and mental timewarp. She has remained stuck in her teenage years. From being the rude teenager to staff , to being the berated teenager, by staff. And like some teenagers, she behaves like a victim, poor Duchess, and is constantly wilful. Did Meghan read this book? I’d say yes, or at least the chapter headings! Thank you, Shauna, for a lively conversation. Sip

    I have never warmed to Fergie, but I understand that she had severe abandonment issues stemming from her formative years when her Mum ran off with another man and moved to Argentina. Whilst her Father was consistently critical of her and never gave her the approval she craved. Seems to me that she was a pleaser who lacked boundaries or an understanding of who she was. However, she not a bad person. I think she craved intimacy and love, hence her ultimate inappropriateness after then feeling abandoned from her new Husband. Conversely, MM also had an absent Mother during her formative years but unfortunately, her Father over compensated and the impact clearly manifested itself as narcissistic personality disorder. No empathy, no family values or emotional awareness and a compulsive liar amongst other flaws.

    Here is the thing, when you marry into the royal family (not just the British one) your life is immediately under the microscope. You cannot expect the whole monarchy to change and adapt to you. It is the same with jobs. You get hired and join an established company, you have to adapt. The company is not going to make changes for you. It’s already established and they have guidelines in place, because it works and has been tested.

    "Please don't get up"?!?! Good gravy! Not that it's to my credit but I used to visit a nursing home with a few people who had difficulty speaking (but I only did it because I had a crush on a guy who was part of the program), and I mostly just tried to listen to them and see whether I could figure out what they wanted to say. I finally figured out that one woman wanted me to sing a particular hymn to her, and by luck, I knew all the words, so once I figured it out, I could sing it to her whenever I heard the same particular garbled phrase. The delight on her face lasted with me long after I lost contact with my crush (as I still remember her).

    Interesting how the other characters are written with much flair, almost to the point of caricature, while references to herself are in a very plain tone. Her supposed innocent cluelessness does get annoying.

      Right. Chances are her "people pleaser" claims are as valid as some people's claims that they put "too much of themselves" into helping others and "need to focus on self-care"... when in fact, all they ever do is "self-care"

    If the men in gray suits (Mr Z) told Sarah off why couldn't they tell Meghan off? Where they scared to be called racist? It seems to me that Meghan (and Harry)was handled with kid gloves. This was a big mistake by the royal family.

    Fergie walks like a cart horse, barges into things like a runaway train, and assumed that people would just love on her and accept her fir the way she was.However, it became old and tiresome and very uncouth. Yes initially she was a breath of fresh air, but her need to pull faces, joke around at the most improper times started to grate on people. I’m sure it was horrific to have the spotlight on you and you alone while your husband swanned off on his ship, but surely you learn a few graces along the way. I remember her being called Freebee Fergie as she always wanted everything for free!!!! It gets old very quickly. Great read as always thank you 👍🏼

      I personally think Meghan did a lot of research on all the mainline royals. I've heard people say her Tig account briefly covered Prince William, and some of her then-close friends said Meghan watched William's wedding to Catherine as it happened, not the highlights many Americans watched during their daytime hours.

    I find that Sarah has always been immature and unwilling or unable to take responsibility for her actions. Sarah seems to live in a way in which she believes that doing one public good deed will erase any previous and multiple bad deeds. She also very oddly acts as the victim and the hero at the same time. She wants sympathy as well as praise. She tries to be posh, yet she is so very vulgar in so many ways. I think she would be exhausting to be around. I think The Windsors did great job in portraying her🤣🤣 Have you read Lady C's "The Royal Marriages"? It is a fantastic read !! Sip🥤🥤

  • @athenab9956

    she sounds like an extremely myopic, self absorbed individual. my mother watched the engagement interview of Andrew and Sarah and she asked me why Andrew made a certain comment. a reporter made a comment about her needing a new wardrobe ,etc for her new life and Andrew responded by saying "she's my mother's choice, let her buy her clothes". i was quite astounded by that. the only thing i can think of is that it wasn't his choice to marry her. date her yes, marry her no. if she wasn't good enough to be a lady in waiting to Diana, what made her good enough to be the wife of a prince.

  • @gremlin5622

    We can only take Sarah's word for her recollections. Imo, she's untrustworthy. She's the little girl who whipped her pony. She seems insensitive to others and very sensitive to herself. She held a housewarming the day of her mother's husband's memorial so her mother had to attend? It's so selfish!! To be fair the late-QEII didn't brag about being a wonderful mother or whinge about not being with the children. Different times.

    Hmm 🤔. Think I’d take some of what Sarah is saying with a pinch of salt. I may not be an aristocrat but even I’d know you don’t take, or greet, someone at the sovereigns entrance! Get eugenies late birth. My daughter was posterior breech. Ouch! She’d been turned but, being a big baby, had turned herself back. Stress does not cause it either! She acts sometimes with naivety , stupidness and arrogance - all at one. Not trying to be rude just trying to understand her sometimes. She’s like a train at full speed. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

    Greetings Shauna! FYI, I'm convinced the Megs also read Lady C's book about Princess Diana. Have you heard the phrase, "Too much of a coincidence to be a concidence"? As you read through it you cannot miss the blueprint for all of Megs' behavior clearly laid out on a platter. How odd, inhuman and robotic to have no originality whatsoever. Even Lady C admits her copying the book is quite likely.

    Don't know what happened to that plan or why.

I did see King Charles when he came to Milton Keynes when he was touring the UK trying to be seen as much as possible, there wasn’t a huge crowd because it was a lowkey visit to the local Playgroup Centre but what struck me was he was a lot smaller than I imagined. 🇬🇧

    I always kept the birth order of Beatrice and Eugenie straight by thinking of it as being alphabetical. I doubt that was intentional, but it served as a memory trick, especially when they were very young and hard to differentiate.
