Not since they got drunk and trashed the last tea by the pool and Fergie pushed them both in. If the SAS hadn't been on patrol to save them both, Fergie would be in worse straights.

How the hell do you get five million in debt? And is that US Dollars or British Pounds? Do they still have workhouses in the UK. I would love to see that whole lot forced to work for their keep.

That's pounds sterling, according to the subject line. I guess you get that far in debt by...oh, I dunno, being something or other. Maybe she could take a job as a clerk at Marks and Sparks or Boots or someplace.

She may have to Duke it out in court. After all, they did go Duch and she is accustomed to her lifestyle of writing overdrafts for a million pounds.

A million overdraft? I'll bet the bank president creamed his shorts when he said, "YES... GIVE HER THE MONEY! NOW!"

bobert - she is five million in debt. How big a divorce settlement would it take to keep her solvent? I am genuinely annoyed at this crap. I see people every day who work hard to keep themselves and their families fed and housed. Why do some get to leach their way through life and others work? It's like a damn beehive.

I think she should be on teevee as a spokesduchess for one of those "We'll get you out of debt" companies.

"Hi. I'm Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. I was once five million in debt, but then I contacted Taketh, Munny, and Runne who were able to help me settle for only pence on the pound! They helped me and they can help you! So if you're like me and don't know WHERE your next million is coming from, if you're tired of being on the front of the papers at the check-out lanes in the supermarkets -- simply dial 1-800-GRABBIG now."

That's the Royal Family Sins - it's in their nature to leach off people and this lot have been at it for 1000 years, which makes it a hard habit to break I guess.

She should get off her fat arse and work like the rest of have to.

I'm with Sins... I say kick the royals out of their residences, freeze their assets and make them pay the public back for the last several hundred years of freeloading.

Then put them in real community work and council housing until they can get jobs and rent or buy homes like the rest of us.

Much as Charles likes farming I am sure he can find a job slopping pigs. Camilla could be a horse groom. Harry can stay in the army but only has non officer. William can go into modelling. Can he sing? A boy band?

Oh wow! Royals in the Da Big Brother House. There it is all sorted.   Aren't you folks glad you have a problem solver like me around?

Fergie is of course not royal, although her father was well connected (and alas to some Argentinian fascists too).

Miss Piggy and even Phil the Greek have been pretty good value really, and I have high hopes of Big Ears. I don't like most reported versions of Anne but a friend of mine who nearly copped off with her (he said) at a school dance (er, many years ago) said she was a lot of fun in real life with a wicked and very very dry sense of humour. At the time Big Phil was getting a bit of shit in the gutter press, so by way of chatting up a bird he did not know (but who had the croup of a thoroughbred mare) he said "I think this Prince Philip seems to be a bit of a cynic don't you"? He got the reply "Oh, he's not so bad once you know him"!

The offspring of Diana the Martyr are, regrettably, bad blood.

However, I believe it to be right that under her divorce settlement Fergie did refuse any money for her, requiring only support for the children. If that be so, then there is more to her than I thought. Otherwise both she and the SouthYork residence were (as courtiers were wont to say "Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar". I'd say the same of anyone who screwed George Best.

"Read my lips. She is not royal"

Ok, point taken...though, it is likely a technicality to most of us. Since that point had to be made....she is likely "as Royal" as any of us mud folks could ever get to touch, or even have a direct encounter with a body part...if, the price was right.

I wager many folks would pay up to $500 USA bucks for the novelity to briefly kiss her foot, or even a footly digit. Rich folks would likely pay more, if the lower folks did not get to do it.

It could garner quite a sizable amount, if planned well....and would not be a major thing, since she is "not a Royal":)

If'n I was her I would just skip town. Or refuse to pay. What can they do? Ya can't get blood from a stone, eh? I owed someone about $5,000 once for a drowned snowmobile and some other stuff of theirs that got lost in the lake sorta by accident and that is what I did...I just flippin' outright refused to pay and they ain't got a cent outta me to this day. They did try to bust my head with a baseball bat a couple of times, true...but what is life without some excitement now and then?

Gettin' back to Fergie ...

The poor thing never went to a useful school, so I doubt she can type or keep books; she never had to mind her younger brothers and sisters or babysit to earn money for nylons in hight school, so she doesn't know how to take care of other people's children; and she wasn't brought up to be nice to be polite, efficient and careful, so she can't work a cash desk at Loblaw's.

She's been systematically deprived of an opportunity to learn to take care of herself and be a useful person! A victim, by George!
