I hate to say it but I doubt a talk show with Sarah as host would last past the first season. Talk shows here come and go like night and day and those that last have the something special. I have seen her co-host The View and I've seen her on the Today Show and though she does ok I don't think her ratings would stand a chance to Oprah, Ellen, The View, Tyra, or Dr. Phil and if you can't compete with those programs then your out.
Oh, absolutely. Even a reasonably popular talk show by Sarah probably wouldn`t last long, and this is coming from me, who thinks Sarah actually has the abilities to be a good talk show host.
The problem is that Sarah just didn`t plan for the future at all. She didn`t anticipate a time when the money would stop rolling in, and to be fair, she didn`t plan for the economic crash (not many people did). People do forget, in all of this, that her debts aren`t
just due to overspending--she seemed to be doing okay until Hartmoor went bankrupt and then the Handmade Films deal fell through.
The big problem is that Sarah, ever since her divorce, has been able to keep the wealth and connections of a royal by trading in on her ex-royal status and her fame. As a result, she never really experienced the consequences of being
divorced from a royal. She never gained any work skills. People can say she should go away to the country and keep a garden and cook, but does Sarah even have those skills? I read an interview with her once where she said she couldn`t cook to save her life. Plus, the wife of a wealthy landowner could live in the country and keep a garden, but Sarah has no money to even buy a cottage. Unless of course the royal family supports her in some way, and that means they have the right to tell Sarah what she can or cannot do--but it also means that the RF opens themselves up to accusations of funding Sarah with taxpayer money. This isn`t a situation I think Sarah or the RF really want.
It`s a very awkward situation. Sarah could go looking for work as an ordinary citizen, but who is going to hire an almost-51 year-old with few work skills, plus Sarah`s notoriety? If Kate Middleton can`t work because of press attention or the fear that the company will be accused of using her for publicity, how can Sarah?
And, as Iluvbertie says, Sarah is still the mother of two princesses. Even with what everyone knows about Sarah`s mistakes, it still makes the royal family look miserly if Sarah is living in low-income housing or on social assistance. Because the fact is, the royals don`t work "ordinary" jobs either (however hard we all know most of them work), yet they have immense wealth and privilege.
