Dman, I enjoy your posts and your kind heart, but alas I am far more cynical about Sarah than you
When was the last time Prince Andrew spoke about Sarah and what did he say? The answer is he does
not say that she was 'the love of his life' every time he speaks, he does not say that his wedding day was the best day of his life 30 years later, he does not gush with over the top compliments about Sarah, in fact in the last several years he has said not one word about her. So to me it's not a double standard since no one else does what she does - it's name dropping and in her case it's done to sell her latest get rich quick product/scheme.
She may 'love' her family and her ex family but she has zero respect for them and she has no qualms about using them to grift for money (cash for Andrew access ring any bells?)
The move to Switzerland/independence theme started when Sarah was launching her weight loss blender/juicer gizmo and being Sarah she expected she'd be an overnight success raking in millions from gullible Americans needing to lose weight just like her weight watchers money making glory days. I don't think her gizmos have been flying off the shelves and I don't know that the hair straightener has done any better - if they had why was she selling the Bently for so little to raise cash?
We'll see how the 'teas' do.
Trotting out the Andrew is the love of my life and we still live together statements wouldn't work when she was pictured everywhere with Manuel on her arm, but he's pretty much gone, so she's back to talking about Andrew.
