Page 34 | Why is Sarah Ferguson at the Easter service?

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.

Do you have to insert the words, "humble pie" into every single post? It's getting somewhat tedious.

Yes I do. Sorry. I didn't bring it up in the first place 🤣

I can talk about Andrew and Sarah's gravy train if you like. That would be a piece of cake and I hope it would butter you up?!

I'm no fan of the sussexes but to be dodging responsibility when your elderly father being treated for cancer stoically plods on between treatments is difficult to defend.

And where is the king's other son then?!

Go tell all the posters on the H&M threads then, go on lrtd see what response you get. Consistent posters repeatedly piling on someone everyday for years! We aren't talking a few comment sthos threads go onto what 4 or 5, that's 5000 comments of which 99% are nasty comments. How many thousand of comments are made about William and Kate? Did that kate thread go on for 3,4 5 etc. Threads?

You don't go round making this same comment onto those threads so who is biased now? This board is biased when you see that. Free right pile on some people all the time but God forbid there are comments about others.

Very dismissive of legitimate opinions. Can obviously only speak for myself, but my view of William is not affected by my view of Harry. I think they’re both pretty awful in different ways. Am sure both of them have their good points too.

But no, I don’t think people only dislike William because they are Harry fanboys.

A lot of the anti-William brigade do.

I don't know what William has done that's "pretty awful" either??! Bizarre!

Robert Hardman was trying to sell a book and speculated on W's faith as @wordler rightly points out.

W watched both parents spill everything to their pet reporters and saw that while newspapers gained revenue, his family was torn apart. As a consequence, W plays his cards very close to the vest, with reporters openly complaining of the lack of access to W relative to his father KC3.

So, for posters to make claims about W's faith or church attendance with no evidence or backup but claiming nebulous "insiders" or citing salacious headlines where the body of the article admits the source is speculating...seems more deliberate character assassination versus sharing of an opinion.

As ever, H's fanboys remind me of Sisyphus...that rock will never make it up that hill!

Oh please these insiders say stuff about H and M a the time and noone says oh wait it's just salacious headlines. Instead it's commented on endlessly here right pile on them and make nasty remarks without any evidence it's true. So do you agree that's also character assassination too?

wordler · 22/04/2025 13:46

OMG - it is absolutely NOT widely known that William has no faith/belief or that he is not interested in the Church.

All of those articles about him ALL of the speculation about William’s personal beliefs on religion can be traced back to one royal author who was trying to flog his latest book which is actually about Charles recently.

He speculated that because William hasn’t talked publicly about spirituality by now, in contrast to his father who had talked a lot about faith in his 40s that perhaps William doesn’t have a strong faith and perhaps that might mean he’d not want to be head of the CoE.

Then for the sake of click bait headlines many papers ran with the speculation and use it as a hook anytime they want to talk about religion and the royal family.

It then gets repeated over and over again on threads like this with posters saying they ‘read somewhere’ that William is an atheist.

Yes - you read it on here - from posters who keep repeating it without any basis for truth.

There's a lot of posters here with no regard for truth or facts.

They just think he is a top fella who has been unlucky but has done nothing wrong.

I don't actually know how anyone can say someone does or doesn't have faith.

I have faith but find church boring, I don't mind the hymns but the rest of it bores the pants off me. Therefore I don't go to church.

Meanwhile I'm sure there are people who probably do waver in their faith but go to services because it's the 'done thing' within their community. And stepping away from it isn't just stepping back from the faith it's stepping back from the community.

Nobody can - it's personal.

I have faith and used to be a regular churchgoer but I became more and more disillusioned by organised religion, and by the hypocrisy of some so-called Christians, so I stopped going. We had attended weekly as a family for about 20 years. Nobody ever contacted us to see whether everything was ok... (sorry if that sounds a bit Meghan lol!)

I do. 🤣 And it has been reported as so. It was reported a year or so ago so maybe he has been talked out of it, given his carcrash interview

Andrew is planning to write an autobiography to set the record straight, presumably about his links to Jeffrey Epstein and sexual assault allegations. Andrew also seems keen, like Harry, to employ a ghostwriter, with the outlet writing “The Duke [of York] is reportedly in talks with a U.S. author who has previously worked with high-profile celebrities and politicians.”

Allowing him to attend publicly visible events with them is a big mistake in my view. They are condoning his behaviour publicly.

They are showing personal support for a family member. And it's going to church for pity's sake!!

If W was a regular church-goer, we would know about it. And why would he attend in secrecy anyway? Plus, insiders say that he's not religious, and this has leaked out.

He attended Sandringham privately on Sunday. Is he not allowed to have a personal life? Is he not able to have any agency over his beliefs?

Hardman is very well-placed to know what's going on.

And FWIW, I have no bias. I actually like W and C a lot. But if I see something which I want to criticise, I will. Same with H&M, who I think are absolutely horrible.

How do you know that? They nearly got away with attending church privately on Easter Sunday?

He might just find church as boring as I do.
Maybe when he becomes Head of CoE he'll inject some life into it.

Sorry quoted the wrong person.
Faith is very personal nobody can interpret someone else's faith.

Plus, imo, as future Defender of the Faith, he should have been at the Abbey service. It was the most important day of the liturgical calendar. Wants to have his cake and eat it. Accepts all the cakes and balloons of his position but can't even go to the biggest service of the year.

Did you read the posts where it was pointed out that Charles when PoW was seldom present for the Easter service at Windsor?

Why the hell does it matter which church he attended?! He was at a service, just not the one you approved of!

ThisFluentBiscuit · 22/04/2025 15:51

Lazycatsitsonthemat · 22/04/2025 05:44

So you think it’s better for a non believer to pretend they believe in a false show of faith? I think I that’s far worse. He is doing what his position demands. His private feelings are his own affair. Why do you care so much about which church he attended? If he had gone to Windsor why would that have been more acceptable than attending in Sandringham? They are both churches. .

If W is a non-believer, that's fine. Then he needs to decline the throne.

Is it necessary to be so obtuse?

I have zero idea whether he is planning a book. I wouldn't read it if he did.

However, I was responding to the latter part of your post, "They just think he is a top fella who has been unlucky but has done nothing wrong"!!!! NOBODY thinks that! You're WRONG!!

While the rest of the Royal Family were at Windsor? Presumably you have your reasons ...

There is a public Royal event at Easter in the giving of the Maundy money on Thursday. Attendance at the Sunday service is a private family affair, and family members attend at Windsor or elsewhere. The Prince of Wales and his famiky were at Sandringham.
