Sarah Ferguson has been dealt a crushing blow just hours after she was seen in London with her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. Royal author Robert Jobson weighed in on her return, saying the public is not in a forgiving mood over her past association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Jobson Questions Ferguson's Comeback
Speaking on Friday's TalkTV, Jobson questioned whether Ferguson's reappearance marked a renaissance. "She's not gone to America, has she, because I think she'd face a lot more questions there," he said.
Jobson, who says he knows Sarah "quite well," reflected on her discussions with Epstein shortly after he came out of prison. "I think she realises were a huge error, but I don't think many people will forgive it," he mused.
'The Yorks Are at Rock Bottom'
"That whole conversation about whether she should be flying back first class and introducing her kids, her teenage daughters, to this convicted paedophile, was ridiculous. But I think she realises that now," Jobson continued.
"Is it a renaissance? I don't think so; the Yorks are at rock bottom," he declared. While acknowledging that neither Sarah nor her ex-husband, Andrew, had anything "proved against" them legally, Jobson remarked that he doesn't "think people are in the forgiving mood".
Memorial Service Appearance
Jobson's appearance came less than 24 hours after the Daily Mail published photos of Sarah and her daughters arriving at St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge, London. The former Duchess of York, who has kept a low profile since the Epstein Files uncovered details about her friendship with the convicted sex offender, was attending a memorial service for her ex-boyfriend Paddy McNally.
Prior to her appearance on Thursday, it was reported in April that the mum-of-two had been staying at a chalet in the Austrian Alps.
Police Probe into Balmoral Allegations
On Thursday evening, the Express confirmed that police are probing the activities of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell during their time at Balmoral Castle. Police Scotland said enquiries are still at an "early stage" amid allegations that women were trafficked to the royal estate.
A spokesperson said: "All inquiries are evidence-led, with the needs of victim survivors at the heart of those inquiries. We would never confirm details of ongoing enquiries, and it would be inappropriate to comment further."
