What went wrong with her? She had such a promising start in the royal family.....so sad.
In a word...greed.

I think she basically only thought what the Royal family can and should do for her and not what she should and could do for them...
Maybe Marie will forgive Sarah when Sarah forgives Sarah. And I mean TRUELY forgives. The kind that means "I'm not going to put myself in that situation ever again."
With Sarah, unfortunately, we have seen this distructive pattern of her life (over eating, over spending, etc.) over and over and over again.
I hope 2011 will be a bright future for her, really.
I agree with you auntie, I think Sarah either didn't realise or forgot that by marrying into the BRF she is/was exspected to give back as much, (if not more), as she was given. I think that she forgot that in the BRF you excepted to earn your crust by attending events, smiling and keeping your mouth shut, it's not just about being handed nice dresses and nice food on a silver platter, you have to work for it.
Perhaps I am much older than you which accounts for my memories which explicitly prompt the recall that during most the time that she was married to Andrew she did indeed perform her royal duties quite well.
My memories are very different, for I recall constant criticism that Sarah did as little as she could possibly get away with.
Wasn't she known as Duchess Dolittle, back then?
Some employee mentioned at the time of the divorce that she was not suited for royal life; he was reproved for that, but I thought he was right on target.
Someone (Lord Charteris) said something to the effect that this woman is "simply vulgar, vulgar, vulgar."
It doesn't seem to me that she was ever very popular, once the wedding euphoria was over.

I can't help feeling that, no matter how lucrative the venture may prove, it will never be enough. If she has any money at all she seems determined to spend it as fast as possible on luxuries.
The only way I can see to keep her from getting in financial trouble again is for her to have a manager who will settle the bills first and then dole out only a limited allowance for extras.

She's perfectly capable of re-building the life she has, if she chooses to stay away from the media. No oprah, no flashing someone elses money. She could fly over to somewhere in the far east and build a new life and come back in 6 months time with nothing on record, no debts just a new life.

rmay286 said:I don't even understand the part about flying to the far east...what is Sarah supposed to do in the far east? For six months? She has already been absent from public life/the media (except for a few tabloid shots) since late May.
Could the people who say she should get a 'career' or a 'job' come up with viable careers and jobs for a woman with no skills, no qualifications, and only a name to do? Remember she is in her 50s and the unemployment rate in Britain is rather high at the moment - due to the state of the economy. The career/job has to be realistic for the mother of two princesses as well - so check-out chick at a supermarket isn't realistic (besides which she is too old anyway).
