Being a 'Royal' means that the Queen dictates terms. Her children bow/courtesy to her when they meet.


Personally, I think Sarah Ferguson is a 'loose cannon' .

Cynthia I agree so why should somebody decide it´s good she is back in the fold-

Lets be fair Andrew tried to protect her and she screwed up, she is no longer the mother of the heir to the throne etc. I actually agree it´s time that she was allowed to go to her daughters parties, but I don´t agree she has the right. She knew what she was doing when she screwed up and made money from it.

Sarah Ferguson is an embarrassment imho

Sarah is often photographed out and about with one or both of her daughters so they are obviously still close, despite her maybe being an embarrassment. I have always thought it odd that neither she nor Andrew married again and any relationships he has had have been kept very quiet, hers too of late.

Uzzi. We are all only expressing an opinion. No one is right or wrong - even Cynthia :-D :-D None of us know more than partial facts to base our opinions anyway. "Mine" is the only correct opinion - but "mine" is a generic word that applies to (edit - many) on this thread.

I do think a problem for Andrew and Sarah is media exposure. That toe incident seemed so shocking at the time. And topless!!!!!! Shock, horror. She had skin above the waist.

I hate to tell you all, but after Prince Albert died, our queer old dean did not necessarily mourn privately for rest of her life. And her son King Edward VII was married, but may have strayed also. But press not quite so invasive then perhaps.

Fergie,,,,,,,,Royal material ---------my arsenal.

she may have moved in the circles via her father,but she def lacked some qualities thats expected to be adhered to in the household of the firm at that time...imo.

I think we would get some surprises if we looked into Fergie's genealogy on WDYTYA. She once described herself as "country gentry with a bit of old money".

Very modest descriptrion, it seems. She descends from both the Houses of Stuart and Tudor and I believe she is a very close relly of the late Princess Alice, Dowager Duchess of Gloucester (edit). Real British blue blood in their veins.

So hate to say it, but Jim Royle may not know all the facts to base (sic) his conclusion. :-)
