She is a bit dodgy too. You can’t claim ignorant forever. She needs to learn to grow up. And I am referring to Sarah…not M. That one is a hopeless case

​@@madeyed2702 That's how she comes across to me too. Not trustworthy.

And suffered with bipolar

No I will always do at least one a week 😊🤗

​@thevintageread lol, don't desert us now your a huge celebrity Shauna. I'm the Louise who you read my comment out about Jamie Lee Curtis being natural and stunning. ❤❤ I was thrilled to bits, and all my family now watch you. 😊😊😊. Love your book review. Louise Tuncurry. NSW.

BEING READ TO 😊😊😊😊😊 !!!!Lovely !!!!!! Shauna has read me through a very nasty bout of flu, wonderful, thnx !!!

So kind! I mainly watch KZfaq too 😂

I gave my huge flat screen to my grandson for his gaming. I watch what I want to when I want to on my laptop or iPhone.

@allyanderson6755 I agree! TV these days is such rubbish, and the news is always so depressing. I enjoy popping in every day to my favorite KZfaq channels for some light entertainment (with limited commercials, too)!

I havent watch 'real' TV in over a year, lol. All I watch is KZfaq and an occasional show on streamers I am subbed to.

Agree..

She's the spitting image of my youngest daughter - bull in a china shop with beautiful red hair, a big butt, a too-loud mouth which often blurts out what needn't (or _shouldn't!_ ) be said, tons of draaamaaa omg! and very draining to be around for very long...but a heart of absolute gold. She's loyal and loving and a good daughter & Mommy, so there's that, eh? I guess I'll keep her, seeing as she's over 40 and nobody will adopt her! 😂 🤗💖

Love her❤

William was a air sea rescue helicopter pilot after many years in the RAF

​@@thevintageread Search & rescue.

Charles is a pilot although has let it laps. William is an active helicopter pilot and worked as a rescue pilot in very dangerous circumstances

William sometimes still ferries his own family around in a helicopter which terrifies me. All of them together , please let nothing awful happen to them all.

I dont think H was smart enough to pass the pilots exam.... imagine being out done by your Uncles ex wife lol

What a lovely tribute to your sister. I’m so sorry for your loss.

@user-vz5pg1qf3e So sorry for your loss. Your sister sounds like a devoted and loving mother who was determined to help her son with such an important milestone. I hope happy memories of your sister bring your family peace and comfort.

@@lisalivingston6473 Thank you so much. So appreciated. Funnily enough, my Sister was called Lisa... 💜💜 I think I was meant to get your message xxx

@@thevintageread Thank you so much. So appreciated xxx

My Dad , brother and brother in law all fighting ALS and Parkinson’s; such a tragic disease that robs the patients of all dignity and worth after lifetimes of extreme ability. Always support MND for a cure please.

True! Quite an achievement!

Thank you for pointing that out 😂

She also has a talent as a writer. Harry does not have a talent and seems to have no desire to be anything but a spoiled brat who expects to be waited on hand head and foot

I'm enjoying this Shauna ,thank you .

@stephenluke2347 Sarah likely had a ghost writer, as Harry did before he was fired.

Sad but probably true. 😢

Hello fellow brit ,aw I hope you are having a great life in Canada such a beautiful country ,can't see me leaving the UK, too many family members ,but wish you and yours all the best ❤

Maybe Old-School … but Cool my dear …

Yay, thank you!

❤❤❤​@@thevintageread

What a great encounter! A friend of my sister's was their appointed doctor when they came to Canada the first time, and they got on so well that they requested her when they came back.

@@susanmacdonald4288 I saw Sarah’s fun and friendly side that day. She’s very outgoing and interested in everyone she meets. I realize that she tends to get into all sorts of trouble but I have always liked her. A sitcom could be made about her along the lines of “I Love Lucy”.

Yes it’s a great sneak peek!

@@thevintageread I love how after your interview with Fiona, she said you remind her of Olivia Newton John! Lovely compliment and can definitely see what she means!

@@kathyevans2968 I agree! Shauna and Olivia both share a lightness and kindness about them. That is such a nice compliment! RIP Olivia...gone too soon.

@@lisalivingston6473yes she was an amazing woman. Very sad.

​@@kathyevans2968😊💜

It is!

The Christmas Church Service had a extra chance of clothes, because you'd wear your wintery Sunday best, which you wouldn't want to wear on your afternoon hike. Plus, indoor and outdoor clothing is very different in cold places so you do need to change .

Yes! They got very close 😊

@angelabinns5726 Diana wasn’t a jewel, she was a nightmare. Diana feigned interest in Charles’ interests and hobbies (Balmoral, fishing hunting, etc.)-basically, she pretended to be who Camilla is, a hunting, shooting, fishing, reading country girl. Then as soon as they were on their honeymoon (most of which was at Balmoral), Diana declared each of his interests as borrrring. When the honeymoon moved on to Balmoral she would have have fits of screaming and crying when he wouldn’t do what she wanted when she wanted him to do it (the court was at Balmoral for the summer so there was official business going on and many witnesses). After the honeymoon she proceeded to, one by one, separate him from his friends (he would give in to avoid conflict with her), then his staff (who would quit because she would not look at or speak to those she wanted to leave). In her mind, she loved him, but then attempted to change everything about him, and if he wanted any kind of peace, he would comply. Diana and her family, particularly the Spencers, were very ambitious and misrepresented who she was to the RF, particularly regarding her emotional health & stability. The Spencer’s actually had a bit of a reputation for unstable men (Diana’s mom cited abuse in the divorce), but the RF didn’t think the mental issues affected the Spencer women. Diana actually refused to cooperate with mental health professionals provided by the RF when they realized how unstable she was, and wouldn’t accept mental health help for years (yes, the RF tried to get her professional help) until a friend threatened to out her bulimia to the press because she was afraid it would kill her. And that is just how she treated Charles. As a grown woman she held hostility towards her mother for leaving her abusive father (her mother took Diana & her brother with her but lost custody), pushed her 60 year old stepmother down the stairs (long after Diana married btw), threw her stepmother’s things out the window in trash bags after her father died, fired one staff for claiming expenses with the palace for some trips with Diana (completely legitimate expenses), and fired another who was the currier delivering tapes to Andrew Morten for her for accepting reimbursement from the publishing company. The virginal “Shy Di” persona was completely a creation of a press. A bit like the common impression that the Queen Mother “sweet ol’granny.”

Yes! You’ve nailed it!

Mr Bean! omg, perfect & I love it! 😂😂😂💀

What a fantastic comment! Thank you so much for giving us a sneak peek!

Yes but only 4 times Sarah did it at least. 6. A little forethought would have had her doubling up outfits or only changing tops instead of bottoms as well or vice versa

​@@dianeshelton9592 don't forget that it's very cold outside in winter there, so you can't wear the same indoors as outdoors, especially if it's wet. So you'd change anyway if you wanted to go out. The biggest problem is they can't lounge around the house in trakky daks like we poors get to do. I feel that living in a grand house is like living on a cruise ship, you have to "dress" to leave your room because there are so many other people around. And just like on a cruise ship you need to change clothes for your different activities, you can't go to dinner in public in your bathers, for example.

@@Anna_Key none of those are excuses. It’s perfectly possible to wear a lovely wool skirt and thin jumper to breakfast. Add on a thicker jumper and long boots under the coat which everyone wears to go out. Come back in and wear a blouse for lunch. Add on the jumper for an outside walk together with a thicker jacket together walking boots not smart boots for your afternoon walk . Change for dinner if it’s expected and there you are . Adding on land taking off layers as needed . As for cruising wear what you want, dress for dinner if you want but you can wear one dress or a pair of trousers and a top all day if needed. I think Sarah did the change the whole outfit thing because she didn’t plan and think. About what to wear , I am sure the royal allies don’t spend all day changing clothes all the time . They think ahead and change their outfits when they want but start from base layer that can be accepted. I don’t live far from Sandringham . Our home is modern so well insulated. I start off a day in a tunic dress, put long thick tights on if I know I am going out, add a jumper and a coat, when I go out together with warm boots, take off the jumper and coat when I get back in. My dress is smart enough and comfy enough to have lunch in , an apron covers it for cooking. Still got the same dress on , snuggle down to watch dr who on the tele a Christmas tradition and if we go out in the evening add some jewellery and the dress might do , or get dressed if I want to coat on again , thinner tights and shoes for theatre and

Sure does!

@brendastajkowski502 Maybe that's why Boxing Day is such a big deal in the UK? The household staff gets to be waited upon for the day. I'd say it's a much-needed break - LOL!

😂💕

Very possibly as Charles made the mistake of saying to Diana (as recounted by Diana), words to the effect of "Can't you be more like Fergie.She is great fun to be around." Husband's have been killed for less.🙃

Probably because they didn’t receive praise? I don’t know… it is sad though.

@@thevintageread yes that makes sense. It is sad.

My mother did the same with me. Always.

@lilianbirt7235 Probably.because royals don’t get praised for doing their duty; if you don’t do what’s expected then you need correction.

Yes, I believe it was because he pushed to go off track… however I guess no-one was forced to follow.

@itsmesam1967 Charles was accompanied on the slopes that day by a mountain guide, Bruno Sprecher, and by a group of friends that included Major Hugh Lindsay, a former equerry to the queen, Charles, and Patti Palmer-Tomkinson, and a Swiss police officer. While the group was "in a stationary position off-piste-meaning they were away from the prepared ski runs-an avalanche happened. It wasn’t against the rules or illegal to go off the marked ski paths; an avalanche warning had been in effect above 5,280 feet on the day of the accident, the Los Angeles Times reported. But before the incident, all reports pointed towards favourable weather conditions. Charles was caught in an avalanche at about 6,000 feet that killed one of his closest friends, Major Hugh Lindsay, former equerry to the Queen. Another member of the royal party of six, Patricia Palmer-Tomkinson, broke both legs in the accident. “‘In the wake of the accident, a criminal inquiry was opened about whether Charles should face charges for the accident. In 1964, for example, a 21-year-old Olympian skiier in Switzerland was charged with homicide by negligence following the deaths of two other skiiers in his care. Though Charles and his party caused the avalanche, no one individual could be blamed for Lindsay's death. "Prosecutors said that, by skiing outside official marked runs, the group had assumed a collective risk that excluded any one member from personal responsibility for the accident," AP reported in 1988, at the time of the accident.’”

I love her too from the beginning. Glad that she is back into the RF fold and keep my fingers crossed ofr the big C to stay away from her. She has been loyal and supportive to Andrew and he has been kind to her over the years. It is love in my book.

Oh thank you!

I think they would be a great mutual support for each other.

Same!

I ordered this book for my next read. I grew up not particularly fond of Fergie.However, this reading inspired a different perspective. The aside inputs by you definitely added to wanting this book. Also I was fortunate to get a pristine copy of "The Housekeeper's Diary" for a fantastic price. Others looking to obtain the same book, just keep checking the independent book stores with a personal request. Happy Reading to all! Thanks, Shauna, for the exposure to these books with your personal talent.

Yes sounds very uncomfortable!

You are so welcome!

Yes always. She is a weird one for sure. But I do believe she really tried. As for the idiot she was married to he and Meggzie Babay would have made a perfect pair.

Thank you 😊💕

Just like my mother did !

You do not appreciate what you have until it is gone.

Sarah made the trip to impress Andrew and his Canadian school friends. They should have done it earlier in the season (May) or later (September/ early October).

💕💕💕

Some of the changes make sense. Have breakfast in normal clothes, then put on your Sunday best for church. Change from indoor clothes to outdoor clothes if you choose to go for a walk on the estate. Dressing up for dinner would make it an event, but what a chore to do every every night.

Exhausting! 😂

Come on. What did you hear? 😮

Thanks for listening
