Why is Sarah Ferguson at the Easter service?

[Lazycatsitsonthemat]

I am really perplexed about why SF attends all Royal events since the death of the Queen when Andrew
is present. She behaves like his wife but she isn’t his wife. What on earth is going on? I cannot think of another situation like this where an ex wife lives with her ex husband and attends all public events with him as though they are still married. It’s bizarre.

And you complain about others and they cant win either so 🤷

Didn’t they say the same thing about Brexit. That they would use the money we saved from the EU to save our NHS 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah sure because obviously all that lovely lolly would go straight to where it is needed most!

That's the spirit, how depressing!

Some posters should be eating the entire pie never mind a mere slice, the vicious comments that were made!!

Didn’t they say the same thing about Brexit. That they would use the money we saved from the EU to save our NHS

No, some people lied about how much money would be saved. And unfortunately many believed it.

There's no difference. Just some people can't resist the slightest opportunity to give William and Catherine a metaphorical kicking! Egg on their faces this time!! 😃

Well, I can quite believe that!

Are you taking back all your horrible comments? Will you stop making horrible comments and having a go at others?

Which others?

He was hospitalised for a few hours. I don't think the RF does need "shoring up" - that's just wishful thinking on the part of some. The king is carrying out business as usual. There's no requirement for both of them to go to church together.

He's not 96 either!

Yes. Whether they like it or now, William and Catherine are very popular and are the most popular royals among all age groups. Nothing bar William deciding to abdicate or a massive scandal is going to change that. Certainly not something as silly as not attending a non mandatory public Easter service but instead choosing to worship in private with his family at their local church. But it makes the haters feel happy, who are we to spoilt their fun.

Goodness me... it's all about food... humble pie, egg on face, what other metaphors can we use?

It's as easy as pie to stand by my opinion, it's a piece of cake. And Andrew and Sarah prancing about was rubbing salt in the wound, they seem to ride the gravy train as far as I'm concerned.

That'll do for now! 🤣

Like you cant just wait for the best tiny thing the other pair do to give them another kicking.

Things have improved for the Royals then! In 2001in that age category (18-24) 48% didn't want a RF
(looked for 2000 for roundness of numbering but could only find breadown of ages in 2001 article)

And you think a penny of that money would ever go to Birmingham?? Naive.

I work in a large public sector organisation and there are no prayer rooms. Pray on your own time!

Your opinion on what? That William has to worship in the same place as the monarch at Easter, even when the King himself didn’t do that when Prince of Wales? Even when William did actually attend Church in Norfolk at Easter, thus not ignoring the occasion? It seems a bit of a silly position to maintain unless it is simply a reason to personally criticise William

I actually find it a bit hypocritical to go to church if you don't believe. I would have more respect if William said he couldn't become the figurative head of the CofE due to not having faith. I'm not sure there is any reason the king/queen has to be head of the church?

Maybe because it was a private holiday? Just a wild guess?

Honestly I think some people forgot the really dark years of the RF. The 1990s were a total shit show. Not attending a private Easter service isn't going to topple anything.

You don't like my opinion, that's fine! Not so keen on yours either 👍

I gave examples of how better that money could be used to improve our lives more so than what they are supposedly doing.

I did and I was wrong, but that was not what I meant! OK! I got an A in my A level History so I guess I must have understood that ok... but it was more than 40 years and I don't have an encyclopedia for a brain!! I will not be quizzed by you either!

No, what he did was to establish a version of catholicism within England that had the same basic theology as Roman Catholicism but did not owe allegiance to the Pope. He still burned protestants for heresy. Even under Queen Elizabeth I, the Church of England was attempting to be an umbrella under which both protestants and catholics could operate without having to openly declare which "side" they were on - she did execute catholics who didn't acknowledge the crown's supremacy but didn't require any protestant articles of faith to be accepted. James I (&VI) persecuted both catholics and puritans. The whole thing remained very much mixed up (with regular variations as several subsequent kings were indeed Catholic) until William&Mary who were more enthusiastically protestant.
