I understand exactly what Sarah meant, the media were forever comparing the svelte Princess of Wales to Sarah and it started as she walked down the aisle and to be honest I think she is as still genuine and naive as she ever was.
I sat up to watch the wedding live and thought her wedding gown was magnificent, not so keen on the floral headdress wired to her tiara. Now the tiara was lovely . . . but, as she processed up the aisle in such a beautifully embroidered gown and train the disgusting talking heads were explaining how her gown was designed and cut to make her look slimmer, and it was downhill from there.
Being labelled the Duchess of Pork and ruthlessly and endlessly compared to Diana and lampooned must have put an enormous amount of stress on her and we know that was when she began the yo-yo dieting that marked her married life especially since Andrew was often at sea and unable to support her.
As per usual, her comment was taken out of context, but having spent time very publically dieting and crashing must have been so crushing for her and to be quite honest, divorce was the only way out. It got the media off her case. As to this latest rubbish, Sarah has two pretty, healthy daughters with none of her body image problems or insecurities which to me is her crowning glory.
I've been looking at this post now for a couple of days and wondering how to respond without the thread being Closed for Review.
Sarah's weight is the least of the issues surrounding and following her. At this point, no one cares about the figure of a 57 year-old woman. Someone should tell her. She needs less body-con dresses and a better milliner.
Sarah, as they say now on the internet, "joined the conversation" about Diana, anniversary, bulimia, resurrected stories, etc to bring attention to herself.
You say she wanted the media "off her case".
I say she wanted the media on her case, but she wanted them to be carrying said case around in a sedan chair, and still does, 21 years after that divorce.
It's a wonder those two girls of hers are apparently so normal, considering what they went through with this woman. She approved Oprah's TV crew filming them crying. She brought them, many years before, the little princesses, on vacations with men other than Andrew. One of these vacation men was even photographed with her naked toddler daughter.
I think that the daughters and Andrew keep praising her as a good mother because it is the one thing no one else can really object to.
If Sarah Duchess of York decides to join in the worldwide conversation about Diana's bulimia, now, in 2017, and use it to bring attention to herself, she deserves to be lampooned.
Likely crosses many minds. After all, that's exactly what the Ancient Romans did.
