Ingrid Seward as the editor of Majesty magazine…no wonder the Royals have had so much trouble. She was always after Dodi Fayed, got held hostage in Málaga, Spain, and was no different from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She put a story of me being pregnant by Oliver Tobias and shamed me for being a 19 year old and all her newspapers wrote such rubbish to get publicity for Playboy and the film the Stud at my expense. She was the only person who, knew as I was being sick and she told me I was pregnant. I had no idea that these people could do such bad things to me as I trusted her. She also tried to get me off with the then Prince Charles, now king Charles. When you are young you just naturally trust people who you think are nice to you as she hired me at the Playboy club in Parklane. She told me it coud not be Victor Lownes baby as he has had the snip, he asked me if it was his and I just said no. She is such a jealous person…I believe she hated Princess Diana as she was with Dodi Fayed who she had her sights on, he would never be with Seward and she just ruins people to get what she wants.
I never thought she’s like that. Thank you for exposing her. I’ve never liked her since I started watching her in videos. Yes, you can see through her face what’s inside of her.
This woman has a pudding face and an acid tongue. She talks as if she is an expert and in reality all she can do is blow shit when she opens her droopy mouth. She needs to give it up and go away. Believe me, Ingrid is not the expert on the royal family that she imagines herself!
Ingrid Seward lives up to her name as a sewer as far as I am concerned. A sewer in terms of a place human waste is sent. The first time I saw her she was incredibly condescending and unkind to Diana, Charles’s wife.
Ingrid recounted some story where Charles was talking on ‘Just So’ stories, and she mimicked what she thought Diana had said and belittled her for not knowing the Just So stories. I was born two years before Diana and I was not exposed to the Just So stories. Seward had a look on her face as if to say how pathetic it was that Diana didn’t know and that it explained everything as to Diana was unworthy. I will never forget that horrible judgemental face. She is a nasty piece of work and this is very clear when you look at her face.
Bravo! I saw that same interview. Seward’s smug face and snobbish attitude were sickening. Who does she think she is? She’s a common gossip monger and publishes an inconsequential rag.
Seward was so jealous of Diana being with “Dodi Fayed” as she had her sights set on him when I worked with her at the Playboy club in Parklane. She got me kidnapped in a bad deal she led in Malaga Spain in the 80’s. She sold me out to try and get rid of me by scandal of being pregnant. She was 12 years older than me, and I trusted her. Shhe would sell her own mother out for a few quid, now she has hate for Meghan Markle and baiting her against Kate. Watch her and her dirty deallng…the royals are in deep danger with her around them.
Ingrid,
Upset that “No one” has mentioned the fact that…In the conversation that Meghan and Harry were talking about, someone mentioning the color of the baby’s skin. Why hasn’t anyone mention that “IT WAS A PRIVATE CONVERSATION IN THE HOME OF THE ROYALS!” We all make racist comments in our “own” home!
So Linda, you’re saying everyone is racist??
I have followed Mrs. Seward’s career for many years and whenever something concerning The Royal Family occurs, she is the one I refer to for the real facts.
God bless ✝
Why can’t I get a copy of your new book about Prince Philip? I was looking forward to getting this for my birthday at Christmas.
Please do let me know why it has been withdrawn.
Best wishes,
Margaret Craggs.
