Is Sarah Ferguson sending a subtle message with her recent look?
The 65-year-old Duchess of York stepped out in London for an event with the Amazon Influencer Program on Wednesday, August 6, to sign copies of her 2021 romance novel, Her Heart for a Compass. She paired a stylish look with navy blue shoes adorned with a rather telling message.
“Never complain, never explain,” an embroidered message on the loafers read. The saying is notably a royal family motto.
“Her Heart for a Compass was always meant to be a bridge between hearts, stories, and generations,” Ferguson captioned an Instagram post following the event. “Being able to sign copies and speak with these incredible creators brought me right back to why I wrote it in the first place. Thank you @amazoninfluencerprogram for the opportunity.”
The poignant message on Ferguson’s shoes comes as the Daily Mail continues to publish excerpts from Andrew Lownie’s upcoming book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which is set to be released next week. (Us Weekly has reached out to Ferguson’s team. They have declined to comment on the book.)
One excerpt shared by the Daily Mail claimed that Ferguson’s ex-husband, Prince Andrew, slept with “more than a dozen women” before the former couple celebrated their first anniversary in 1987.
Ferguson and Andrew, now 65, got married in July 1986. They were together for a decade before getting divorced in May 1996. (The exes are parents to daughters Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 35.)
The book alleged that there was one year during their marriage where Andrew only spent 42 days at home.
“Sarah discovered Andrew wasn’t coming home on some of his leave. He was going elsewhere — and this just drove her crazy,” Andrew’s former driver alleged in Lownie’s book. “She didn’t like the fact she was a shore widow, and to discover she was shore-widowed intentionally really hurt.”
The excerpt claimed that there were several ups and downs in Ferguson’s relationship with Andrew.
The Duchess of York allegedly said Andrew was “just not strong enough,” per an interview with Ferguson’s former psychic healer, which is included in Lownie’s book. Ferguson also claimed that Andrew was “never there when I need him.”
Despite their split, the former couple has stayed close. Ferguson even addressed rumors that she and Andrew were reconciling in a June 2024 interview.
“I get asked that all the time,” she told Bella Magazine at the time. “We are very happy as we are now, thank you!”
