Did I accuse her of being rude to her stylist?? No I did not. But based on WHAT I HAVE SEEN of her behavior and what she has been quoted as having said, and how she has treated various people, I stand by MY OPINION. And you're right: like Princess Anne and her GAFFE prone DADDY, I don't suffer fools gladly. Except on the internet, when most of the time I must exercise restraint.
You didn't say 'Anne is rude to her staff' but you certainly implied very heavily, in your post, that that is what you believe particularly when you did say that she bullies people
She bullies people and gets away with it because of the luck of the draw of her station.
immediately following, in the same paragraph,where you say
I wouldn't last two minutes as her stylist anyway. I don't suffer rude behavior lightly, be it Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, Prince William, or anyone else. Each one of them puts on their pants one leg at a time just like I do. In two seconds I'd let her have it the minute she started up with me, trust me on that.
You mightn't have said it directly but it is a very heavy implication from what you did write.
I asked for evidence that she is rude to her stylist etc (implying staff) and you have been unable to even specifiy one example.
I have seen her a couple of times and she was the politest of people. I have read of her telling press to 'naff off' as a teenager or young adult over 35 years ago. She also questioned why people, on Christmas Day, would want to spend time in the cold to see her and her family (actually the Queen and the Queen's family) go to church - personally I can understand that - Christmas is a time for family and I wouldn't spend my time in the cold to see another family walk to church. She did make a comment to a Scottish village about leaving ASAP to return to London. The only other incident I know of is the one where she made an inappropriate comment to a man who went to help her when she appeared to be slipping of falling. Hardly enough evidence to say that she is routinely rude to people, which is what your post implied. These incidents don't involve her stylist/staff though so don't fit the requirements of evidence that she is rude to or bullies her stylist or staff, as implied/stated by you in the first post.
If she was rude to or bullied her staff don't you think we would have heard about that. We don't seem to be regaled with stories of staff quitting due to being bullied (actually we don't seem to be getting stories of her staff quitting at all) and I am sure that the press would be getting the stories if they existed.
Philip makes comments, many of which are taken out of context, and some are plain rude, but there is way less evidence that Anne is rude or a bully at all, and certainly not to her staff.
Again, I ask you to supply evidence that she is rude to people or bullies them which you claim that she does.
She bullies people and gets away with it because of the luck of the draw of her station.
You are entitled to your opinion that she bullies people but don't be surprised when asked to actually give evidence to support you opinion.
You say
based on WHAT I HAVE SEEN of her behavior and what she has been quoted as having said, and how she has treated various people
and I would like specific examples not just general comments.
I have supplied the only speicific examples I know and I am asking you to give me more examples - I would need quite a few to believe that she is routinely rude or bullying - four or five over the course of a public career of nearly 40 years isn't enough for me. I keep hearing people say that she is rude but all seem to point to the same examples that I have given above. It seems to me that she got a reputation and people enjoy believing that reputation.
If she really was routinely rude or bullying, particularly to her staff, and afterall it is the allegation that she is rude to and/or bullies her staff that is the focus of your original post and my reply not the way she may behave occasionally in public, the press would have been reporting it on many occasions and I simply can't find references to it.
