This past weekend, a video in which the duchess of York was seen selling access to her ex-husband for a substantial amount of cash (to us mere mortals, that is) was all over the world news.
After such an embarrassing exposure, the duchess released a statement regretting her actions and also stated she was experiencing financial problems. In the past she's stated her divorce settlement was meager as she only receives $21,500 per year.
In contrast, princess Diana received millions of dollars in her divorce settlement.
While I suppose it's hard to leave the royal lifestyle behind after a divorce, I'm also wondering if it's against British law to get a resume together and work at a job just like many of us do on a daily basis if one is pressed for cash.
I know plenty of single-divorced parents that receive a lot less than $21,500 per year as part of their divorce settlement/child support and manage to live within their means, of course most of those parents still have to go out and earn a living to support their families.
For any divorcees/single parents out there, do you think the duchess should stop playing celebrity and get a job like the rest of the mere mortal population or is she entitled to a lavish lifestyle because she was once married to royalty?
