Thanks so much Jo of Palatin! Wow, it must be so hard for Sarah to live that far away from her daughers I can imagine she would want to relocate back. The girls must be quite close to their father then!

Sarah actually has a house in Britain quite close to Royal Lodge--it's called Dolphin House. Beatrice and Eugenie apparently stay here from time to time too, when Sarah's in Britain.

At one time I thought Sarah had her own rooms at Royal Lodge, then I read this: the Mail online. It's by Richard Kay and says Sarah isn't allowed to stay overnight. I really don't know if it's true, but that's what's claimed.

I think the Mail on Sunday had articles about what the ex of Beatrice told them about life at Royal Lodge and there the Mail claimed that she has her own bedroom in Royal Lodge... Typically Mail information, I guess.

Was it not the Mail that informed us that Sarah would be staying at Andrews rent free while her burned out home was refurbished? I think mr kay might have it wrong.... again.

Who else but the Mail....

[rmay286]

There are some inconsistencies, aren't there? Thanks for pointing them out. I read both stories and honestly didn't put two and two together.

To be fair to the Daily Mail, though (whether or not it needs it) the story about the tiara in the bedroom mentioned that Paolo wasn't sure whether or not Sarah had ever even spent the night in the room. He seemed to think it was more Andrew's shrine to Sarah, than for Sarah's use.

Which is odd enough in itself, I know.

Odd to say the least.

I for one think it is much more sensible for Bea to live at St. James' than to purchase her own. It gives her independence but she's still not able to be wild. Good solution. in my opinion. I hope that Sarah is able to visit her there--this business about her not being allowed to spend evenings with her daughters is really awful.

I read the description of the apartment and it mentions nothing about a kitchen. Does it have one? Or will she have meals in?

We are British, kitchens have no importance!

According to what Andrew told Meredith Vieira, that's no great privilege (at least if you want something hot to eat).

Why don't they make kitchens? It's less expensive then having the main kitchen do it and it's a lot of fun. Our BeatrixFan could give PB lessons!

I agree. I may not share Pss B's taste in fashion and totally feel alot of her clothing choices are not flattering to her figure, but at least she's herself and not following some fashion trend like a lemming. As for the butterfly hat . . . I wouldn't be seen dead in it. Sorry.

Maybe she has learned a thing about the media: once they talk about your hats, they don't talk about your weight.

[Mermaid1962]

Yes, I think that Beatrice has true spunk.

I have never heard this word used to describe a young woman.

I liked the hat she wore, but I also liked that one Sarah Jessica Parker wore to her British premier. I'm not a big hat person and I don't get why they are so necessary at events in England but when people do an interesting twist on them...it's cool.
