Sarah Ferguson should have paid attention to one of her own family members who’s been riddled with misfortunes in her lifestyle, which should have been a “cautionary tale” for the ex-Duchess, a royal author has claimed. Fergie, as she is otherwise known, has found herself in hot water after new details emerged regarding her relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The former Duchess of York no longer bears any titles, is essentially homeless, and her career’s future seems bleak. Her links to the convicted child sex offender, as well as her husband’s association with him, have led to her very public downfall.
The ex-duchess has maintained a very low profile after emails surfaced showing her referring to Epstein as her “supreme friend,” despite her team claiming that she sent them after the US financier threatened to sue her for defamation.
Now, an author explained how, despite previously bouncing back from any scandals she was involved in, this time it may not be possible.
Christopher Wilson wrote for the Mail: “Despite all the scandals and scams, she’s always managed to bounce back. Sarah’s been in more hot water than a rugby team after the final whistle, but this time it’s different – and here’s why.
“She’s indicated that her way back is through good deeds. Lots of them. Public favour can be hers once again with her planned rebrand as a ‘global empowerment leader’. She forgets one thing – the word ‘Epstein’.”
Mr Wilson said Sarah’s future ahead “eerily echoes” the fate of her great-aunt, Sheila Wingfield, the Viscountess Powerscourt.
He said: “Exceptionally gifted and beguiling in her youth, Lady Powerscourt, like Sarah, inhabited a vast and colossally expensive mansion. Like Sarah, she was an impossible spendthrift. Like Sarah, she had her mad moments.”
He went on to say: “In her day, like her great-niece, she was heralded as a breath of fresh air on the aristocratic scene and – while the going was good – was a diligent wife and mother.
“But after she and her husband parted, the life of Sheila, Viscountess Powerscourt, descended into a vortex of drink and drugs. A gifted poet, she, like Sarah, produced books which people bought. She, like Sarah, drank to excess. But that’s where the similarities end.”
He said that the “downward spiral” of her great-aunt should serve as a stark warning to Fergie, adding: “So many similarities, so many sad disappointments. And that is the spectre of failure which now hangs over Sarah Ferguson’s future.”
