yea thats true too its the ppl like prince charles friends and ppl like that isnt it that stir it all up

Poor Fergie, must be horrible to be watched all the time, I still think Andrew loves her, and they have to be separate because of the Royals.

Dont think it is the Queen, but the Royal Courtiers, who would be jealous of anyone from outside marrying into the family.

Sophie was watched and spyed upon, but she has learned from the others to keep her head down, and her mouth buttoned.

Most of the Courtiers are a lot of 'old queens' themselves.

Ros, pack it in, you are making me jealous, I can't read that many as quickly as you lol I have several books waiting for me but will put those on my Christmas list too.

that is true yea iv read diana her true story i enjoyed that the only book she wrote i think. my sister is reading the book her mum wrote frances.

The press had a great deal to do with the way Fergie was treated. In fairness, many partners of service men have the same problems, but every move they make is not splashed across the front page of the papers.

now reading 2 at the same time -Barbara Windsor and couldn`t wait to start Paul O`Grady`s , Ros xx

I fancy all the books you read Rosalyn. I'm just going to look to you when I make my Christmas list :-))

can remember watching the wedding with hubby in my little room at the hotel.
Always thought she was ok, fashion sense at times was a bit off but then so has mine been.

Their girls seem to have grown up to be nice gilrs who are a credit to both their parents.

Loved the programme when she went to the family to try and help them live better on what they had, made me laugh that they didnt have a clue who she was but she didnt care just got on with them.

Have to agree with everything you say, I have always liked her and felt very sorry for the way the Royals treated her - just like the way they treated Diana!

I used to be a proper royalist but changed my mind after those incidents.

course we all make mistakes shes great i think anyway. at least shes not a snob and she tries to help others. i cudnt believe it when prince philip said to her your so stupid and thick what a horrible thing to say thats plain nasty. she said she just held her head up high and agreed with him. but h you noticed when ever someone whos not royal blood but has say married into them gets all the bad press very odd. but shes done very well with her confidence now her and diana were very close like sisters within the royal clang

I have always thought she was ok, she is one person I would love to have for a neighbour!

OK she made a mistake or some, but so have we all, just we don't all get it published in the papers.
She was alone far too much when Andrew was working, and away at sea etc and should have had more support from the royal family, not the grief she got.
I too admire the way she and A. have always shown a united front bringing up the girls, who appear well balanced and fairly normal considering they are royal!
I did hope they might get back together as they don't seem to have found full time partners, unless I have missed something in the papers?
A good example to many divorced parents.

Hi Ros, I have to say I admire her, she behaved badly when she was married to Andrew and has had to pay dearly for it.
She pulled herself up by the boot straps and worked hard and she has never washed her dirty linen in public like some of the Royal family have.
Her and her ex husband have behaved wonderfully as parents, going to school functions and having dinner with their girls, why can't other people be like them. Those girls have had a good upbringing thanks to their parents deciding to be friendly enough to put their differences to one side.

Very interesting , the Royals gave her a rough ride . She had a difficult childhhod Mother left and remarried when she was a teenager , sister went to Australia and she was left with her Dad. Andrew was never there and she tried her best , feeling quite sorry for her, Ros xx
