Sarah Ferguson's Tell-All Memoir Rumours Amid Epstein Investigation Pressure
Speculation is intensifying that Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is secretly working on an explosive tell-all memoir as she remains out of the public eye for four months. This comes amid mounting pressure from US authorities for her to cooperate with the official investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operations.
Royal Author Fuels Memoir Speculation
Royal author Richard Palmer has revealed that Ferguson's office has refused to discuss or be drawn on whether she plans to write a memoir, describing this silence as "interesting." Palmer suggested that any potential book would need to contain "fairly powerful stuff" to attract significant publisher interest. Ferguson's representative has also declined to comment when directly questioned about memoir plans.
If published, this would mark Ferguson's third memoir in two decades, following My Story in 1996 and Finding Sarah: A Duchess's Journey to Find Herself in 2011. Her previous works detailed her marriage to Prince Andrew, their subsequent divorce, financial difficulties, and her relationship with Princess Diana.
US Congressional Pressure Mounts
Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, a lawyer and member of the House Oversight Committee investigating Epstein's prosecution, has formally requested Ferguson's cooperation. In an email dated March 26, 2026, seen by the Mirror, Subramanyam wrote that Ferguson clearly possessed "social and business ties to Mr. Epstein" and had knowledge that could assist the investigation.
The email references various communications between Ferguson and Epstein, including messages where she called him "a legend" and wrote "Just marry me." Subramanyam has requested a response by April 9, 2026, citing the urgency of the matter. The Committee has also expressed interest in learning about any knowledge Ferguson might have regarding Prince Andrew's involvement in Epstein's operations.
Television Appearance Offers and Public Absence
Alongside memoir rumours, there has been discussion about Ferguson being offered a six-figure sum to appear on US television to discuss her relationship with Epstein and her involvement in the Epstein files. However, industry experts question whether networks would now consider her "too tainted" for such appearances.
Ferguson has not been seen publicly since December, shortly after she and Prince Andrew lost their Duke and Duchess of York titles. This extended absence has fueled speculation about her activities and the mounting pressures she faces.
UK Police Investigations Expand
Meanwhile, the UK's Crown Prosecution Service is providing "early investigative advice" to police forces examining links between Epstein and both Prince Andrew and Lord Peter Mandelson. Both men were arrested separately on suspicion of misconduct in a public office regarding their dealings with Epstein, though they have been released under investigation and deny any wrongdoing.
The National Police Chiefs' Council has established a new dedicated group focusing on identifying potential UK-based violence against women and girls offending within the Epstein files. Assistant Chief Constable Claire Bell, chairperson of the coordination group, emphasized that UK policing would be "meticulous" in assessing the Department of Justice files, though she acknowledged the process would take time due to the significant volume of material.
Bell stated: "Our priority throughout will remain the safety, wellbeing and confidence of victims. It is crucial that we get this right – taking a methodical and coordinated approach to safeguard the integrity of any potential investigations."
