Sarah Ferguson has faced a backlash from royal fans after her return to the UK, with critics calling her "shameless" and drawing comparisons to Meghan Markle. The former Duchess of York was recently photographed in London following a period abroad, reportedly basing herself in the Home Counties to be closer to her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
Ferguson attended a memorial service in Knightsbridge on Thursday for her ex-boyfriend Paddy McNally. The appearance came months after his funeral, which she did not attend. She was accompanied by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, but her reappearance has sparked strong reactions on social media.
Fans React on Social Media
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one user wrote: "The poor royal family can’t escape the trash. First the Harkles. Now this." Another critic drew a parallel with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who recently left the UK for a short break, commenting: "Sheesh. One scumbag scuttles off out of the country and another scuttles back in. Meghan & Fergie really should be blasted into outer space."
A third user posted: "Oh yay another greedy grubby undignified wanna be royal," while a fourth said: "You know what I have to laugh because she just has no shame."
Context of Her Return
Ferguson's return comes amid reports that she has been relying heavily on Beatrice and Eugenie for support as she deals with a controversy surrounding her past association with Jeffrey Epstein.
