Notable Quotes 3
"In view of the media speculation which the Queen finds especially undesirable during the general election campaign, Her Majesty is issuing the following statement," her press office said.
"You have done more to bring shame on the royal family than could ever have been imagined. Not once have you hung your head in embarrassment, even for a minute. Clearly you have never considered the damage you are doing us all. How dare you discredit us?'
"When I met with Her Majesty about (the divorce), she asked, 'What do you require, Sarah?' and I said, 'Your friendship' - which I think amazed her because everyone said I would demand a big settlement. But I wanted to be able to say, 'Her Majesty is my friend' - not fight her, nor have lawyers saying, 'Look, she is greedy'. I left my marriage knowing I'd have to work. I have."
