Sarah Ferguson has been warned that one decision could leave her with “nothing to gain and everything to lose.” Before her reputation suffered its most damning blow yet with the release of the Epstein files, Sarah was enjoying a successful career as both a romantic fiction author and a children’s book author.
Incredibly, the former Duchess of York has penned or contributed to 64 books over the years, her first being her Budgie the Little Helicopter series in 1989. While she has already written two tell-all memoirs, My Story (1996) and Finding Sarah (2011), suggestions have been rife that she could be prepared to tell her side of her involvement in the Epstein scandal. However, a publishing insider has questioned whether this would be sensible, as it could leave her in a worse position than she is now.
Speaking about the possibility of Sarah putting pen to paper once again, a publishing insider exclusively told the Daily Express: “Her first memoir examined her post-Andrew split and was viewed as quite explosive, with hints about rebellions behind the scenes and her close relationship to Diana.
“It was a bestseller and part of the 1990s explosive memoir scene of royals ‘revealing all’. She was reportedly paid £2-3m.
“Finding Sarah was more introspective and was heavily tied to a ‘big exclusive’ with Oprah at the time. It didn’t do as well commercially and was a more introspective look at her troubled childhood.”
Referring to why the books were critically panned, the insider adds: “The criticism of both books was her victimhood and self-congratulatory tone, which Sarah made a trademark of her public persona. How accurate this is to her real life now is up for question.
“Was she a victim of the Royal Family’s treatment, or did she try and dine out on her links to them for years afterwards to make huge sums of money? Both are likely true, but that doesn’t necessarily make her a sympathetic character.
“There are so many links to Andrew, business deals and Epstein, it would take a huge book to unpick it all, and it is likely not to be in her interests to be honest about it. She may have nothing to gain and everything to lose.
“She has been criticised for inconsistencies between her public statements and later-revealed evidence regarding her connection to Jeffrey Epstein, and this has made her look untrustworthy and suspicious.”
“While she may have seen more recent success as the author of three romantic fiction books, another memoir that isn’t a no-holes-barred, forensic dissection of her involvement with Epstein would go down like a lead balloon, and of course, any attempt to profit from it would be distasteful to many.”
