Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is reportedly considering offers for a tell-all television interview that could rival the fallout from Prince Andrew's disastrous BBC Newsnight appearance. Sources claim the Duchess, facing eviction from Royal Lodge with her ex-husband, is weighing six-figure payouts from US and international broadcasters.
Insiders told The Sun that little can be done by the Palace to stop Ferguson, who is said to be entertaining offers from around the world. One source noted: 'Sarah and her team have had offers from all over the world for a sit-down. So she's thinking things over very carefully. She and her team know a televised interview would be make or break for her in terms of salvaging her reputation.'
The potential interview comes after Ferguson was removed as patron by multiple charities following the leak of a 2011 email to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the email, she referred to Epstein as a 'steadfast, generous and supreme friend,' despite having publicly condemned his crimes. Ferguson has since claimed the message was sent to ward off a defamation lawsuit from Epstein.
A spokesperson for Ferguson reiterated her regret over the association, stating: 'The duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago, and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims.' The insider added that Ferguson is keen to answer questions, believing she has 'done nothing wrong, and been harshly treated.'
