Why is she always on tv these days? This morning, Gmb, Loose women..,is it a bit odd 🤷🏻‍♀️

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

I think it would've happened if, ahem, other events hadn't meant they need to keep a low profile.

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

Wonder what is was like being married to Andrew 😬

I think I read that she didn't get much in the divorce at all, and so needed to work.

Thatpotatoessongthatgetsinyourhead · 05/06/2024 11:17

@Tlolljs I wondered that too

Fergie did some crazy stuff in the past but she has pulled herself up by the bootstraps and got on with it. The Queen I believe, always had a bit of a soft spot for her, but Phil was having none of it. And of course her two lovely daughters are the granddaughters of her late Majesty. She needs to earn a living and that is exactly what she is doing, despite being diagnosed with skin cancer. All power to Fergie, I think she's great!!

Odd question.

Why wouldn’t she be on the tv? She’s a media personality and wants to earn money.

Mrsjayy · 05/06/2024 12:05

Oh I've just seen she's on Loose women today. I only watch it if I'm in and like the panel, it will be off today.

Can I ask … who is Lady C?
What a gossip she is, always on Tv these days.
Australia here, so not up with the wannabe’s

Pin0cchio · 05/06/2024 12:10

She does not get funded by the royal family. She needs to do this sort of thing to earn money & maintain the lifestyle she's accustomed to.

Do you mean lady Colin Campbell?
She was married to Lord Colin Campbell for about five minutes in the 70,s but continues to use the name, and i think she has some very tenuous links to the royal family ,I think she just makes shit up about them.

She was married very very briefly to a Duke of Carlisle .Colin Campbell decades ago

I don't know what dirt she had on him because she inserted herself into "society" and kept her title. And has been a gossip ever since. AND she was raised a boy for years because she has a medical condition and they didn't know if she was a boy or girl!

I thought Andrew was broke (relatively speaking) too?

Ponoka7 · 05/06/2024 12:26

Thatpotatoessongthatgetsinyourhead · 05/06/2024 08:53

Why does she still live with him?

It was touted as being for the girls sake. Let's be honest, she's being paid to try to make him look normal and for her silence. We don't know who the Queen left what to. He'll be getting kept to what he's accustomed to.

Mummyoflittledragon · 05/06/2024 14:11

I think the RF value her because despite being treated poorly and given a woeful divorce settlement, she has remained forever loyal to them and got on with it. She is a colourful and complex character. I like her tenacity.

MatildaTheCat · 05/06/2024 14:16

Very funny article about her by Hilary Rose in the Times 2 today.

She reckons she was terribly close to her late Majesty and that she’s terribly discreet. Probably in the same way her slimeball ex is terribly honourable.

Chatterboxy · 05/06/2024 14:25

Earning a living like most of us.

DisforDarkChocolate · 05/06/2024 14:29

Money and the fact that she's prepared to say how wonderful Andrew is at any opportunity.

Pair of shameless grifters.

NewKnickersNewName · 05/06/2024 14:59

Is she a lower standard than most of the guests on that program?

I bet she was. The only two people on the planet who thought Andrew was not a thick, arrogant overindulged moron!
She sticks by Andrew, so she stays in the fold

Naran · 05/06/2024 15:51

She’s probably earning money the most efficient way she can, so fair play to her really. I don’t watch TV so haven’t seen her.
