No one made her what she is except herself. The gutter press and the royal family could not have done her any harm if she had behaved herself in the first place. She had a 2 million dollar a year contract from Weight Watchers. She was with them for three years. She receives $90,000 a time for...

Early on Sarah ran up an overdraft of 250,000 pounds. The Queen bailed her out by writing a check for the full amount. Once Sarah made the same mistakes the Queen may have just lost her patience with her and said no more.

I have a feeling that this will swept away and some financial consideration given. This woman is an uncontrolled powder keg. What the RF will not be able to stand is if in her desperation for money Sarah really writes a tell-all book about the whole family, including Princess Diana. She knows...

This woman has needed professional help from the beginning. She is unable to take care of herself in a mature way. She seems incapable of learning from her mistakes and just does things before she thinks them through. She is not stupid, she is foolish and inappropriate. She is also a very...

The Little Princesses was available in the UK. However, certain references to the Duke and Duchess and Windsor were left out.

The cancellation of the trooping of the color is what ended Crawfie's career. Her books on the other royals were just sentimental and often made up. I will say this, she adored them all and tried to put them in the best light. I personally became interested in the RF because I read her book...

What angered the RF more than anything was that Crawfie had undertaken in writing never to publish a book about her time with the family. She then sold out for money. She certainly lived to regret what she did.

Actually, calling the Queen Mother "Cookie" is an insult. It does not refer to her love of cake, but to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor referring to her as "that fat Scotch cook." They said she looked a fat cook, hence "Cookie."

Queen Mary allowed George V to be euthanised. It is reprehensible, but Queen Mary approved of it so he did it.

Pregnancies of Queen Elizabeth "Of course, in the country and abroad, people talked about the Queen's relations with Leicester. In 1581 Henry Hawkins said that my Lord Robert hath had five children by the Queen, and she never goeth in progress but to be delivered." Other such references occur...

Princess Anne Actually there was an occasion when she did smack them both in public at a horse show. Peter was climbing up on something and Zara was carrying on. She smacked them both and had them taken home. Apparently the audience watched "absolutely fascinated."

Albert Victor I believe that the sense of relief when he died was more to do with his not being the next king than with relief at losing him personally. He was exceptionally stupid. His brother who became George V was not very bright either, but was not involved in the kind of scandals that...

Queen Alexandra's intelligence According to Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, in her book "For my Grandchildren" she says of Queen Alexandra in reference to the relationship of Edward VII and Alice Keppel: "Aunt Alix was renowned for her beauty, very lovely, with a gracious presence and a...

Bowes-Lyon cousins I was quoting Polly who wrote "In the instance of the Queen Mother's cousins (I think that they were), Her Majesty had no idea that they existed! They were at home until one was 22 and the other one 15, so certainly the QM knew of them. Whether she was told that they...

I believe the Queen Mother did know about her two cousins. She was very friendly with her brother John's other children and it is highly unlikely that a new baby could be born into that family with others not being aware of it as they were very close. The two girls were missing a vital nerve in...

Doctor theory Eddy was madly in love with a French Catholic Princess Helene, he died calling her name. I believe the doctor theory arose because of the surgical precision with which the organs were excised from the bodies of the victims.

Eddy moved to Sandringham I don't believe he was moved to Sandringham. The family was there for Christmas and he became ill while staying there.

Queen Mary and AV At one point during her engagement to Prince Eddy, Princess May told her mother, Princess Mary Adelaide, that she did not know if she could take this on. Her mother replied, "You can and you will!" Alix of Hesse, later the Czarina, was first chosen to be his wife, but she...

Princess Anne's resemblances Whenever I see a picture of Princess Anne I think she most resembles the "old" Hanoverian side of the royal family. She reminds me very much of Mary, Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood. She has a distinct look of Queen Victoria's children about her.

The marriage I once saw a biography of her in which one of her former schoolmates said that although she wasn't very pretty she was able to get any boy she wanted. She had a lot of appeal even then. I happen to admire the way she has comported herself through everything. She has behaved with...

Years ago I wrote a letter to the Queen and enclosed several royal columns that I was doing at the time for a newspaper in New York. I did start the letter with Madam, but I could not bring myself to end it by calling myself her obedient servant. I ended the letter by writing "with greatest...

Homosexuals If you had ever given birth to or brought up a child who was homosexual you would know how wrong you are. There are homosexuals from birth.

Sharman Douglas was a friend of Princess Margaret's, certainly not a lesbian relationship. I believe she was the daughter of an ambassador. I did take note many years ago that Sharman Douglas was the only person in the world apart from family who was allowed to call the princess "Margaret."

Twins I just saw the latest pictures of Sophie. Believe me, as the mother of twins, I can assure you she is not having twins. By the time you are this far gone in pregnancy with twins your arms are hanging behind you as you walk and your stomach is so far out you are waddling like a duck.

Elizabeth dying pure My gut feeling is the same. There were spies all over the palace. How on earth good Elizabeth hide not only one but two pregnancies from her ladies in waiting and the court? There was also the matter of her personal linen being washed and observed by laundresses. I think...
