\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tRoyally bonded. Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were both sisters-in-law and close friends, but their relationship was not without conflict. In her 2011 memoir, Finding Sarah, Ferguson recalled the pair\u2019s falling out before Diana died at 36 in a 1997 car crash in Paris. \u201cIt is true that our friendship was periodically strained. Sadly, at [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Lownie\u2019s book claims, \u201cStaff were then ordered to spy on his apartment all night to check that he had told the truth,\u201d as Ferguson wouldn\u2019t \u201cbe discouraged.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lownie also alleges that Ferguson took issue with the late Princess Diana<\/strong> meeting John Jr. \u201cfor 30 minutes\u201d in December 1995.<\/p>\n\u201cShe was furious: \u2018He\u2019s mine! Why can\u2019t she just leave him alone?\u2019\u201d he writes. \u201cShe gave Kennedy a code name, \u2018Number Nine\u2019 \u2014 his place in the order of her lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Duchess of York \u201cspent hours scouring magazines for articles about him, cutting out pictures of him in his swimming trunks and talking to her friends about whether he would like different aspects of her personality,\u201d the author continues.<\/p>\n
Lownie claims a \u201cclose confidant\u201d told him it seemed as though Ferguson thought things were \u201cincredibly real\u201d between her and John Jr.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe spends hours talking about him,\u201d the friend says. \u201cThe fact that she\u2019s never even met him doesn\u2019t seem to matter at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
