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.

Isn’t the point that
if you are going to be the Head of the Church of England you

• believe in it
• follow the religion
• go to Church

All seems a necessary requirement really

From somebody who saw them

sjpsolicitorsllp Happy Easter everyone! We were lucky enough to be passing Sandringham church on the way to the Easter egg hunt just as the Prince and Princess of Wales were going in for Easter Sunday service

That's true but the evidence to support this is the way that they are happy for Andrew to be front & centre at any RF gathering.

I'm on planet facts. What planet are you on?? There is zero evidence that he has an interest in young girls, plural, much as you want it to be the case.

I don't "need" to do anything. I don't have to believe anything he said. He didn't say anything about having an inappropriate interest in young girls/women that I recall! You need to have a good look at yourself actually. If you're going to make allegations then you should have evidence to support them!

Well William does go to Church and to that extent as far as we know follows the religion.

We don’t know that he doesn’t ‘believe’ or have a faith.

There was one anonymous source claiming it wasn’t as big a thing in William’s life as it had been for the Queen and Charles.

But it was far from implying he’s an atheist. Maybe his focus on spirituality with deepen with age as it does for many.

Smiley wanted to know what the point of Tomatoes post was
My response was to that

nothing more

Aye

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar I don't know what images you see of William out and about meeting people but what I see is a man who seems very at ease and interacting with those who have turned out for the event. He looks the part, acts the part and he seems to be that new look/ attitude that the RF need. He watches football - so what ? He has a beer in a pub - so what? Charles I think is enjoying his time as King but I wouldn't compare Charles to his mother and the same for William. It seems the critics can't make up their minds whether he is "not sticking to tradition enough " yet at the same time calling for change in the RF.

That's not logical and no he wasn't .

It is logical and most people don't want him there at all.

But you personally didn’t write that post so I’m
mot sure how you know what the poster was getting at 🤷‍♀️ Also, as pp have said, how do you know that he doesn’t believe and follow the religion. And we have seen that he goes to church

Andrew is an entitled, arrogant man. I very much doubt he would have the empathy to have considered Epstein's victims. I don't think it would have occurred to him. I don't know if he had advice before he did that interview but it was a grave mistake.

I wouldn't have gone cap in hand to the FBI in his shoes either! It would have been very risky even had he been as pure as the driven snow!! Which before I get jumped on, he clearly wasn't because he is judged now by the company he kept. What the hell he was thinking, I will never know!

I don't want to see him at all and I think he should retire to total obscurity away from the public eye, but on the other hand, if it's a matter of family unity and they believe his denials, which I assume they must, then I daresay the public can cope with him twice a year so long as it's no more than that.

I'm not getting into the rationale behind legal settlements again because it's been done to death and the ignorance about them is staggering.

This. He really isn’t seen very much these days and, short of shoving him out of the way, I’m not sure what other members of the family can do to prevent him hogging the limelight when he does appear. Maybe they think that is a small price for him staying out of the way for the rest of the time 🤷‍♀️

So let's get this straight - this firm of solicitors (I think) is colluding with William to "hastily put together PR push again"???

You couldn't just say, ok I'm wrong, they were at church elsewhere.

All the angst about whether William went to Church at Easter and whether he is in fact a believer. One of the reasons why I am anti monarchist is the absurdity of having the monarch as Head of the Church....thus denying the monarch the freedom to choose their own faith, which is a fundamental human right and should be a matter for William's own conscience only.

I am not sure any amount of privilege makes up for his lack of freedom. I don't know if he looks forward to being King or not; but in the event he doesn't I feel really sorry for him. If he should ever decide it is not for him and step away, then he can expect to be vilified and dragged through the gutter as his brother was. And if he ever did then his son would be forced to take it on instead.

And supporters of the monarchy lecture people on here about being cruel?

I wasn’t remarking on what anyone including William actually gets up to.
I really don’t care and wouldn’t have a clue

I was remarking on what someone with an expectation to be the Head of the Church should do or be. As a minimum.

I wasn’t remarking on whether they did, do or will.

In terms of how I know what the poster thinks……I don’t. I can still comment and having a wand helps 🧙.

I think they are trying to protect their children and give them as normal an upbringing as they can, which is eminently sensible when you look at the car crashes that are Andrew and Harry.

I think it's a great decision that they went to church and took the children without the glare of publicity on them. They went to the nearest church which hosts royals at other times, and why shouldn't they do that under the radar?

William, Catherine and George in particular have years ahead of them in the full glare of publicity. They won't be able to avoid it. Give them a bloody break I say!

I doubt any of the RF are particularly religious anymore. They might attend church for special occasions but it's out of habit and convention. I'd imagine they'd rather be somewhere else most of the time. So W just said fk that, I'm off to the pub to watch the match.

I think SF and A remarried in secret years ago, for the inheritance (tax). I do believe they did actually and told no one. One Andy Windsor and one Sally Ferguson, the quickie reg office was in some far away land where no one knew them at all. Or cared. Beat that Y'all 😊

As I said above I don't doubt they were there but the whole thing smacks of a hastily put together PR push again IMO.

That makes very little sense. It was announced that William and Kate weren’t attending the Easter service at Windsor 4 days ago, and the critical pieces about that were published by the papers that same day. If the Wales had been minded to do a PR push against that (“Easter is really important to us as a family - we’ll be attending the service at Sandringham”) they had 4 days to realise there was an issue and release something.

They didn’t though. We had no stories sourced from “sources close to the couple” letting us know what they were planning - nothing at all (like their trip to Courcheval last week - it seems William and Kate’s team do not leak). Just a report on Easter Sunday on social media from someone local with a small number of followers that they saw them at church that morning. Which has not been widely picked up because it was a tiny report in the vast world of social media. So unlikely to be a placed PR push, which generally would go straight to the media - like how the confirmation they wouldn’t be at Windsor was placed.

Hardly under the radar there are lots of images ( poor them I’m sure they’d love to actually be under the radar )
The news or paps were waiting.

I wonder if the paps wait outside all the Royal haunts to catch a snap. Or maybe they follow their cars around.
Seems exhausting tbh. I suppose it pays well.

There are no pictures of them from yesterday. Only from the people who were waiting outside.

I’ve not seen any images of the family at church yesterday? There are photos online of the people hanging around in front of the church hoping to see them leave, but it was reported they left from the back of the church - which might have been recommended by security given the photos that were posted.

You couldn't just say, ok I'm wrong, they were at church elsewhere.

I haven't said they didn't attend anywhere. As I've said I don't doubt they did but it's not unreasonable to wonder why accredited sources who might have endorsed said attendance haven't in the light of the media storm.

Maybe they think that the nonsense about them not being at Windsor is really not their problem 🤷‍♀️

Well it appears they were pretty much "under the radar" at Sandringham yesterday as that was actually what I was referring to, not in the more general terms you seem to have assumed.

Fair fucks to them for doing it.
