Sarah Ferguson has reportedly received a seven-figure offer for an explosive autobiography, according to sources cited by The Sun. The former Duchess of York is said to be "days away" from securing a deal, with a chapter-by-chapter synopsis already written.
The news comes after Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, released his bombshell book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which includes unflattering allegations about other royals, including King Charles. The Earl claims Charles said "we'll forget her soon enough" after Diana's death, prompting a war of words with Buckingham Palace.
Palace response and Earl Spencer's defense
Buckingham Palace responded to the claims, saying: "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss."
Despite the controversy, Spencer has insisted his book is not a "hit piece" against the monarch or the Royal Family. He said: "This book is a celebration of an extraordinary woman from a brother's point of view. And as a brother, I have every right to write about my sister. But I would like to explain that I was not setting out to do a hit piece on the King at all. The comments [from Charles] that I've included in the book are totally in context."
Fergie's memoir plans
Sources told The Sun that Ferguson's autobiography may include her thoughts on ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein, the King, and Harry and Meghan. Insiders say she is "on a mission" to rescue her reputation. One source said: "Sarah wants to set the record straight about everything and earn some money to resolve her financial issues. There has been a secret bidding war and a deal is close to being secured. The notes are compelling and the bidders are excited. Fergie is ever the optimist and believes she can be forgiven and welcomed back."
The former Duchess of York has strongly denied all wrongdoing following the release of emails between her and Epstein as part of the Epstein Files. Ferguson twice visited Epstein during his prison sentence for child sex offences, and a third planned meeting fell through. An email sent to Ferguson on March 26, seen by the Mirror, referenced communications where she called him "a legend" and wrote "Just marry me".
Ferguson and her ex-husband were ousted from Royal Lodge, with Ferguson leaving for Europe as Andrew moved to a new property. In April 2026, Ferguson's representative did not respond to the Mirror when asked about a possible memoir. The Star has contacted representatives for Sarah Ferguson for comment.
