A royal expert has revealed King Charles’ brutal new take on disgraced Sarah Ferguson can be summed up in just three words: “She’s a nobody”.
Royal commentator Andrew Pierce has said the former Duchess of York has no place in public life anymore and will no longer be helped by the monarch who has “been far too generous [with] her”.
Speaking on Best Magazine UK’s Suddenly Single podcast, Mr Pierce explained the way Fergie has spent her post-royal years has now changed entirely.
Despite Fergie and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor separating in 1992 and divorcing in 1996, the former royal was able to trade on her connections to the monarch, particularly after moving into the royal lodge with her ex-husband in 2008.
However, Mr Pierce insisted those days are firmly behind her.
“She also knows that’s it with the royal family. No more trips [to] Sandringham at Christmas with the royals,” Mr Pierce said.
“[King Charles III] has been far too generous [with] her, and she’s history now. She’s a nobody. She doesn’t exist.”
Mr Pierce explained she can longer inhabit the social circles she once did.
“She has taken herself off the social circuit completely,” he added.
“She’s hanging her head in shame,” he said. When asked whether there is a chance for her to return to British high society, Pierce was unequivocal: “I don’t think there is this time.”
The royal commentator’s verdict comes after it emerged Fergie was missing from a billionaire’s Christmas gathering in London’s Belgravia neighbourhood last year.
Fergie attended the previous year, but her notable absence marks an end to the former Duchess of York’s previously very busy social life.
It comes following reports Fergie once turned down a $3 million mansion gifted by the late Queen Elizabeth II to daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie following her split from Andrew.
The Grade II-listed seven-bedroom Georgian mansion in Surrey, named Birch Hall, was purchased by the Queen in 1997 to provide her granddaughters, who were then aged nine and seven, with stability amid the “chaos” of their parents’ separation.
The Queen saw the property as a “way of creating a stable family base” for the family.
“It was meant to be a gesture of reassurance as much as generosity – almost a statement that, despite the marriage breaking down, Sarah and the girls would still be looked after and remain firmly part of the wider royal fold,” an insider told Radar Online.
“Sarah quickly realised that accepting a grand Georgian estate and actually being able to sustain it were two completely different things.
“Behind closed doors, she was said to be genuinely anxious about taking on a house that could end up draining her financially and becoming a constant source of stress rather than stability.”
