For money.

WolfFoxHare · 05/06/2024 08:46

She’s a grifter, that’s why.

Mrsjayy · 05/06/2024 08:47

She has periods where she is always everywhere then she dissappear i guess shes a "celrbrity" and as close to a royal thats going to be on GMB they want herto spill titbits of Royal gossip in the guise of her talking about her being breast cancer survivor or a new charity etc.

@AGodawfulsmallaffair Would a member of the royal family need money?

Wonder what is was like being married to Andrew 😬

she is a media personality. That is why she is in the media.

x2boys · 05/06/2024 08:49

She isn't married to Andrew and apparently she's always been terrible with money
She's not really a member of the Royal family anymore .

Mrsjayy · 05/06/2024 08:49

Media personality is what I was looking for but couldn't think so said celebrity.

rwalker · 05/06/2024 08:50

It’s what she does for a living just like everyone else on tv

No she isn't but lives with him and has kept her title so "Royal " as far as loose women go.

True ,she a bit more royal than Paul " she called Me her rock Burrell " i guess

Thatpotatoessongthatgetsinyourhead · 05/06/2024 08:53

Why does she still live with him?

money.

PuttingDownRoots · 05/06/2024 08:53

If she didn't work she would be seen as a sponger
She does some work... and people moan.

Great example of how some people can't do right for doing wrong.

You could say Ant and Dec don't need the money....

Though, actually, it’s an apt enough comparison now that you make it.

Incidentally, Paul Burrell always reminds me of Hugh Bonneville. Someone should do a biopic called A Royal Hanger-On and cast him.

I imagine it would be an American life time movie if those are still made😀

Didnt he turn up at Harry and Meghan, s wedding and got turned away ?

Dryplate · 05/06/2024 09:11

She's working and earning a living. The same reason anyone else appears on those shows.

Oh I think he was reporting for somewhere and maybe tried to sneak In beyond the barrier. I did read something at the time.

KimberleyClark · 05/06/2024 09:48

I always thought that she and Andrew would remarry as soon as Philip popped his clogs but doesn’t look like it now.

Tlolljs · 05/06/2024 11:11

I think it’s all part of ‘see how nice I am I love Andrew so he must be nice too’
Felt sorry for her at one point not any more.
