Oystercatcher Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If you personally met any of the royal family, would you address them as your royal Highness or whatever the antiquated term is for them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Nonce Andy's parasitic Mills & Boon author ex-wife will always be there for him, oh yes indeedy........ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jan/14/sarah-ferguson-will-ex-wife-continue-remain-steadfast-prince-andrew Promoting her Mills & Boon novel Her Heart for a Compass, Fergie – as she is known after her birth name, Sarah Ferguson – was effusive in her praise for Prince Andrew. “I completely stand by Andrew 100%,” she told the talk show Porta a Porta. The happiest day of her life, she continued, was her wedding day back in 1986, “when I married the best man in the world”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It's been pretty clear for a while that they're a pair of randy shagabouts, and only got divorced because it became public knowledge. Even now, I somehow doubt the royalwatchers would accept open marriages among those ordained by God to rule over them. They're having enough trouble accepting the sex trafficked teenagers and grasping, corrupt obsession with money, but they'll probably get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tourette Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I have to confess that the sweatless wonder himself (and his wife) visited my workplace back in the late 80s. As far as I remember, nobody called him anything like highness/grace etc. It was all quite normalETA: He did come across as a bit of a dick, though. She appeared to be a bit better craic than him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always pissed me off when the media would fawn over Diana as if she was some kind of saint while Anne was out there actually working for multiple charities. Getting her hands dirty and helping people without constantly drawing attention to herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
