Duchess of York narrates September 11 memorial - Monsters and Critics
I must say, I question the appropriateness of this choice.
Well, yes, but wouldn't it be great if she turned out to be a natural at doing voice-overs? A dignified and satisfying career, I would think.
The cynic in me wonders if she looked for a charity visit to coincide with the big party. Fergie has been known to do this to get free flights over the years. QUOTE]
My inner down-to-earth little person is saying the same thing as your cynic one!

That's what I thought too.
(I think everything Fergie does is for her own self-interest; I have always heard that she doesn't do any charity work without recompense. However, this may be inaccurate, so if anyone knows differently, please mention it).
, but it's very clear to me that she is passionate about using her position to help others, and she does work hard at it. Nobody obliges her to do any of this. She does it because she cares deeply about others, and wants to make a difference!
My personal feeling is that her daughters were badly used in that whole situation. While Sarah can do as she wishes, her daughters are still Princesses of the UK and should not be put in controversial situations in foreign countries. The orphans situation is obviously an important one but at the end of the day it was a tv program that publicised Sarah (I do wonder how much she earned for her charity efforts as I am sure the tv program paid her for her appearance) and I cannot recall her continuing work on the problem in Roumania. Turkey I can understand her staying away from since she risks being imprisoned there.It's very difficult to convince people of Sarah's sincerity, as we can't see inside her mind. But I'd ask anyone who doubts her to watch the Turkish / Romanian orphanages programme, most of which you can see on Youtube. Yes, there are cameras, of course, but part of the impact that a public figure like her can have is in publicising causes. And I feel that her knowledge, her sincerity and her commitment come through verystrongly in this documentary. For me it iis a fantastic example for Beatrice and Eugenie, who are also very impressive in this, and clearly also care deeply about the charites they are involved in. I really feel some of that comes from Sarah.
