I believe it is the late Queen’s wish that Angela is allowed to live out her life in her grace and favour apartment
I was thinking about her the other day. If anyone is going to miss The Queen, it's Angela. Being her dressmaker/stylist was a very intimate position to be in. I'm sure they shared many secrets together. The Queen, in her position, probably didn't have many female confidences she could confide in, especially after her sister died. I'm sure The Queen made adequate arrangements for Angela.

Unlike Stephanie, Kathy is open and honest. I'm sure she'd gladly answer any questions at her vlog.
Thanks @Le Baiseur for your suggestion.
I may try doing that, yet again. BUT, in my personal experience, I have attempted to do so in the past on her YT channel when asking for clarification about anything, I either get "deleted/blocked and/or ignored".
C'est la vie! It thankfully truly doesn't worry or keep me awake at night.

i hope its not a grace and favour apartment in Buckhouse..those appartments are awfull...
No, her grace and favour residence is in Windsor.

i hope Angela didnt make enemies during the time she was working and caring for the late Queen..I also hope she had those wishes put in writing and legally approved... etc...promesses dont mean a lott in those circles when your dead.....when there is nothing legally on paper...you are out in no time...Btw i am very curious about those books with her memoirs...i know Angela can keep a secret....maybe thats her biggest asset...to keep the wolves at a distant...

I wouldn't give Kathy too much credit. She's a nobody that likes to use others to get attention. Riding off coattails. If she was in Stephanies position who knows if she would be any better.

I'm surprised nobody at the HMN has scurvy - there are hardly any vegetables with any of their food. It's little wonder everyone looks so grey.
But that's not at Lalande. This is the neighbours places, Jolie and Peter Cross at Neuvy St Sepulchre. To my mind, the meals at the HMN are heavy on the veggies and lean on the meat, because meat is expensive. They grow enough veggies at lieLande to supply the neighbours as well as themselves.

I am certain that QEII made sure of that.
To my knowledge, most royal diaries/memoirs are kept hidden for at least 50+ years after each individual's death simply because then anybody featured within them are no longer alive. Especially more so, given QEII age!
I remember whilst on holiday in Jersey CI about 30 years ago and visiting the museum there, even the German spooky underground hospital. All rather disturbing but at the same time truly fascinating.
In the museum lots of items were labelled as not being advised to be opened/read until a certain date. Am certain that that date has today been surpassed. Interesting on so many levels!

You can certainly see how cults get followers after reading this drivel. They would be first in line for the kool aid

Messaging was an option at the start of this forum, however it had been stopped well before "Isobelle" became a member here.
I have read that arrangements have been already been made for her to continue to enjoy her Grace and Favour home at Windsor. She's 64 years old so I imagine that she will retire. I understand that the 3rd of three books approved by the late Queen is to be published soon. I think that her enemies were Harry and his wife, so hopefully they will be out of the picture.

Yes, all of the comments on SJ’s vlogs are reviewed and scrubbed…negative comments, or even legitimate questions, are deleted. If nothing else, Tattle is a platform where SJ’s actions can be questioned and challenged without automatically being deleted by one of her minions.

The first two books are "The Other Side of the Coin" and "Dressing The Queen". available on Amazon.

From her Wiki, In 2006, she was appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO),[13] and promoted to Lieutenant of the same Order (LVO) in 2012.[14] She was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Version of the Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal in 2014 for 20 years of service to the Royal Family.

I think "Backstairs Billy" upset the RF with his suggestion that the QM was frequently drunk and that sealed his fate.

Sorry Michael. I find this déclassé and tasteless, but knowing your family it's not surprising. #GottaGriftThatPen

Yeah. They never have much meat. It’s all vegetables and pasta. You really do need to eat meat for healthy skin bones and hair. It’s important for joint health. It’s important to have vegetables too. They rarely eat fish other than canned tuna. Fish is very important for heart and brain health. They have a really shitty rotation of food. I’d be so screwed up if I had to eat their menu let alone drink like they do. I bet no one there has solid turds. Maybe that’s what all the cheese and bread is for.

Look up the Bristol Stool Chart for measuring bowel “correctness”. If I’m not a solid 4 I adjust my meal plans, because something has thrown everything off.

I’ll bet they are all 6s and 7s.

The rule I use for meals is a lean protein the size of my palm, at least one vegetable portion the same size preferably green, and either a second vegetable or carb of a similar size. Then I make it just a bit bigger than that because only I eat twice a day. Snacks are cheese, nuts or fruit. Glass of milk every day. I try to eat food in a form as close to how it came out of the garden or came from the butcher as possible.

Eating as they do with strange sauces and spices, no regular rotation, eating old dead pantry stock, old dead frozen meat, and not usually a regular cook. It’s a recipe for gastrointestinal disaster in my opinion. That’s also not even considering the filth in the kitchen and the haphazard way food is stored and dated for consumption (not I’m betting).

I know I sound like some kind of freak, but taking care to not have runny diarrhea poo or constipation all the time is very important for your health and well-being. Contaminated or poorly stored and prepared food accounts for a far greater number of serious illnesses and deaths than many people even notice anymore.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and support. My mother-in-law was a special person, smiling, and loved to laugh. I’ve always enjoyed the wit and humor on Tattle…I think I’m ready to start laughing again, too.

Bringing the Queen talk to France and closer to CDLL..
I had to share this post I saw on FB:

In 1996, Jacques Chirac went to London for an official visit.
He was with the Queen in a horse-drawn carriage when suddenly one of the horses let go an enormous fart.
The Queen apologized to the French president, saying, "There are things even a Queen cannot control."
Chirac replied, "It doesn't matter. I thought it was the horse."

Honestly I can't make out what happened, probably because it doesn't make sense. I've never seen the mods ban somebody on account of trolling -- if that is what indeed occurred. Newbies piling on? I understand nothing and I get the feeling the mods did us a favor.
