I agree. Her flamboyance isn't helping her image. How does she want to be seen? As a responsible, sensible woman who tries to help others and is a good mother to her daughters? Or as a woman who lives the high life without paying her bills in full? I don't think that people expect her to show up at public events in a nun's habit, but I do think that showing up at high-profile restaurants and so on shows a lack of common sense. Sarah has a lot of gifts that she could share with the world--her speaking talent, her writing abilities, the things she's discovered in world travels and during her time as a Royal Highness--but the impression that people have is of a good-time girl who doesn't care about the people she's let down.
I actually think that people would like to see her in sackcloth and ashes and on the streets - including many here.
Yes I mean that - there are people who would like to see her totally destitute.
As she was close to bankruptcy she obviously has none of her divorce settlement left, nor any of the money she made in the first 12 years after her divorce. She lost it all in the GFC.
Like many others who lost a lot at that time she can only hope to rebuild and she needs to continue to live a relatively high life to keep her name and profile in the public domain so that she is still in demand for speeches etc in order to bring in an income. Her writing might bring in a small amount.
