The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, is reportedly preparing to secure a multi-million pound publishing deal for an explosive memoir about her life within the Royal Family, mirroring the success of Prince Harry's tell-all book, Spare.
Financial Pressures and a Royal Revelation
According to sources speaking to the Express, the 66-year-old duchess is actively seeking a substantial financial lifeline, with figures around £10 million being discussed. This move comes amid growing concerns over her financial stability following the dramatic fall from grace experienced by both her and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew.
The source revealed that while Ferguson has historically been "very well taken care of" by various benefactors, the situation has now drastically changed. "She's too toxic to touch for every single brand and charity she'd previously worked with," the insider stated, noting that even the lavish complimentary gifts and VIP treatments have completely dried up.
The Epstein Fallout and Lost Privileges
The core of the problem stems from their association with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The subsequent scandal led King Charles to remove his brother's titles and honours. This had a direct and severe impact on Ferguson's living situation.
Prince Andrew was forced to vacate the Royal Lodge in Windsor, where Ferguson had been living with him since 2008. This left the duchess effectively without a home. The King's decision to relocate Andrew to a smaller property on the Sandringham estate sealed her fate, stripping her of the title, home, and security she had long enjoyed.
Following in Harry's Footsteps
Faced with what is described as her first serious financial worry in a long time, Ferguson is now looking to the blueprint established by Prince Harry. The source confirmed she is "willing to pen a tell-all memoir" about her time with Andrew and her treatment by the Royal Family after their divorce.
It is believed she holds a significant amount of material, including diaries, which document "the backstabbing, scandals and cover-ups" she witnessed. The potential book is seen as a direct attempt to secure a "nice little nest egg for the rest of her life."
In the meantime, reports suggest her daughters are attempting to provide support. It was recently revealed that her younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, is arranging for her mother to stay at a £3.6 million beachfront villa in Portugal that she owns with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, as Ferguson prepares to leave the UK.
