But Sarah couldn't and didn't keep herself a "valued member of 'the firm'". That was the problem. She was unable to conform to inside or outside expectations of a member of the royal family. I think this became obvious almost immediately and she has not changed at all over the years as far as I can see. I don't see how their marriage could possibly have been an ongoing success.
