It?s still sort of amazing to me that Sarah Ferguson has continued to receive invitations to glitzy charity balls and galas around the world. She really is a ?royal for hire? in that sense, although I?m not saying that Fergie lacks a charitable spirit. She shows up for charities consistently and good for her. But she?s also getting those invitations because of her title, because charities want someone with some kind of vague royal connection. So it was when Fergie got invited to the Knights Of Charity Gala at Chateau de la Croix des Gardes, in the south of France. She was even tasked with ?helping out? with an auction, and she decided to throw in a special offer. From Richard Eden?s Mail column:
King Charles is said to be determined to evict his brother Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge, but the Windsor residence has lost none of its cachet. For I can disclose that Sarah, Duchess of York, who lives at Royal Lodge with her ex-husband Andrew, used the 30-room mansion to lure a plutocrat into donating 100,000 euros [84,000] at a charity gala on the French Riviera this week. Fergie berated the audience at the Knights of Charity Gala at the Chateau de la Croix des Gardes, in Cannes, for lacking energy on Monday evening.
She then helped top auctioneer Simon de Pury raise money by volunteering to entertain a super-rich bidder at the royal residence which used to be home to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
What Im offering is a unique experience with me, wherever you want to go in the world, whether it be Samoa, or whether you come with me in one of my charity adventures, or it could be in London or at the Royal Lodge, she told guests, who included the Hollywood star Orlando Bloom. Anywhere you want to go. You dont know where youre going to end up, but itll always be something different.
The duchess, 64, wore a monochrome gown complete with black opera gloves, which she said was a style tribute to Alfred Hitchcocks 1955 film To Catch a Thief, which starred Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. It was filmed at the chateau where the gala was held in partnership with Ulyssia.
I like the theme, you know, of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, she tells me. And I can wear my gloves. No, I dont feel hot in them, I love them. I think its rather nice to keep up with this. I just like wearing gloves.
Fergie will resume her Australia book tour in November, after cancelling her scheduled appearance at a literary festival in Perth the previous month because she didnt want to clash with the King and Queen Camillas visit Down Under.

While there?s definitely a sleazy element to this, I don?t know, it was for charity?? That?s the whole reason she was there, to be loud and to convince people to donate more. ?You dont know where youre going to end up, but itll always be something different.? Fergie is so wild. But yeah, she should probably stop offering up private dinners at Royal Lodge in exchange for cash, even if that cash is going to charity. Because we know that she probably still offers access to the Windsors for cash privately too. That being said, King Charles does the exact same thing only much worse.

Several years ago, JD Vance thought it would be a good idea to repeatedly mock and disrespect ?childless women.? Vance?s Christofascist argument was that ?childless women? don?t have any ?stake? in the future of America, and that the country is being run by ?childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they?ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.? America should be so lucky as to be run by childless cat ladies we are compassionate, we have disposable income and we have TIME. Anyway, Vance?s comments have been making the rounds again because Trump picked Vance as his running mate. Trump?s team barely vetted Vance, and Vance has gone down poorly in MAGA world and beyond. Those particular comments about ?childless cat ladies? have become a real pop culture moment this week, so much so that Jennifer Aniston a childfree dog mom decided to chime in:
Jennifer Aniston is hitting back at comments about politicians who are childless cat ladies made by Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, which have recently gone viral.
The Morning Show star, 55, on Wednesday took to her Instagram Stories and posted a screenshot of a social media post in which Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of the MeidasTouch Network, shared a 2021 Tucker Carlson Tonight interview clip with Vance.
JD Vance says women who haven?t given birth like Kamala Harris are childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives, and have no direct stake in America, Filipkowski wrote alongside the 28-second clip.
I truly cant believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States, Aniston wrote. All I can say is? Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.
[From USA Today]
This wasn?t even as hard as Aniston could have gone on Vance, given her own personal story. Aniston has been the subject of decades of womb-speculation, and Aniston has very strong opinions on men with opinions on her childfree status.
Meanwhile, this whole ?childless cat lady? issue is a ticking time bomb for Republicans and I?m not sure they even know how bad it?s going to get. Taylor Swift?s fans are just waiting for her much-anticipated endorsement so they can unleash hell on Trump and Vance. There was this great clip from The View as well:
Former Trump aide @Alyssafarah: This JD Vance clip claiming childless people shouldn't be in politics is offending so many of my lifelong Republican friends. If you're a woman of my age, the most common thing my friends are dealing with is infertility. Miscarriages, those? pic.twitter.com/zNmFEXXkzw
