HMMMMM. That first pic, from GMTV was nice--I'd like to see her with some interesting brooches in the future. She's got such a colorful personality she could really play with brooches, I think.
As for these other pics--UHMMMMM HMMMMM. That is too much cleavage and an overall bad fit. I like the scarf but what is up with the York ladies and these belts that just do not do anything for them???

This "prude" agrees with you. I don't care much for cleavage anyway, but I really dislike it in the daytime. It's cheap and tacky.

You are most welcome as always
Here's a link with several pics (or screenshots) of Sarah at
'The Duchess in Hull' ---> Link, in case that won't work for long,
here are some of these: ** 1 ** 2 ** 3 ** 4 ** 5 ** 6 ** 7 **

I would have loved to see the part in which Eugenie talked about
her mother's project ( see nr.7).

Thank you iceflower. I do wish someone would explain to Sarah that she has no need to show it all to be popular.

Thanks, Ice.

Has anyone seen this show? It seems to have been critically slammed.

You are both welcome and I agree with you, Skydragon
Bella, I wish I had the chance to see it, but I can't. From
what I've seen through these screenshots and comments I've
read, I can't imagine that the show is that bad..

Here are pics from the second part, this time including Bea
as well ---> Link --> ** 1 ** 2 ** 3 ** 4 **

I haven't watched it, I couldn't force myself to pander to her apparent need to be back in the limelight here in the UK. I was quite happy for her to stay in the US.

Everyone seems to be complaining about Peter Philips using his royal connection, but at least he was born to it, unlike Sarah who married into and then left it in disgrace soo many years ago.

Thanks, Ice. The 1st shot is quite glamorous, is it part of the show, too? And I wonder why. Maybe to show the distinct social/financial gap between Sarah and this family. Not a good photo of Bea, I'm afraid.

Seems alot of ppl feel this way, Sky. Even those I know who were able to watch it chose not to for pretty much the same reasons you mention.

This show has been so controversial that I might watch it afterall. It could turn out to be "so bad that it's good."

When she does show it all, she looks amazing! Absolutely delicious legs and heels! She is glorious!

As much as anything, I find it distasteful to imagine that someone from Sarahs' wealth (even before her marriage) should be allowed to use a disadvantaged family in this way. IF the programme makers had really had an interest in this family's diet and lifestye, then provide people who are qualified.

Sorry to all of the Ladies from the states, you are right, we should have her back, then she might fade into obscurity.

Should we send Dr. Phil over there to help out???

I don't know what she thinks she's accomplishing. I see pictures of her on the show without makeup. Does that make her "one of them?"
I see this as a reach for her. But that's just me.

I think that sort of lifestyle can affect a persons concepts and ideals. People handle large amounts of stress and pressure differently. I think in this case you're right & her spotlight personna is her way of pulling an umbrella over herself, to keep out of the pressure reign.
