One insider suggested that, in the<br \/>\nabsence of formal ties to the monarchy, the former duchess may feel<br \/>\nfreer to speak candidly.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/royals\/37401431\/sarah-ferguson-6-figure-offer-tell-all-tv-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The insider told The Sun:<\/a><br \/>\n\u201cThere\u2019s a danger of her going rogue and saying things that could<br \/>\ncause embarrassment for King Charles and Queen Camilla, or other<br \/>\nmembers of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another royal source told the publication that the Palace would<br \/>\nhave little control over the narrative should Ferguson decide to<br \/>\nproceed with a high-profile interview, saying: \u201cThe royals are<br \/>\nbound to worry at the prospect \u2018but there\u2019s not much they can do to<br \/>\nstop her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson is said to be \u201ctaking stock\u201d of her options, with<br \/>\nadvisers fully aware that any interview would define her future<br \/>\npublic image.<\/p>\n<p>Several people familiar with discussions suggested she feels she<br \/>\nhas been treated harshly. She gave up her courtesy title when her<br \/>\nformer husband said he would no longer use the title of Duke of<br \/>\nYork. He has since lost that title for good after The King asked<br \/>\nthe Lord Chancellor to strike it from the Roll of Peerage.<\/p>\n<p>She is now known as Sarah Ferguson, her maiden name.<\/p>\n<p>Another blow was the loss of her long time home at Royal Lodge.<br \/>\nShe shared the thirty room residence in Windsor Great Park with<br \/>\nAndrew for decades but he has now surrendered the lease and will<br \/>\nmove to a home on the Sandringham estate, provided by The King.<br \/>\nSarah Ferguson is understood to be making her own arrangements for<br \/>\nher home after Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n<p>Her supporters argue she has long wished to explain her position<br \/>\nregarding Epstein, whom she once described in an email as a<br \/>\n\u201csupreme friend\u201d. The fallout from that comment\u2014along with the<br \/>\npulping of her recent children\u2019s book\u2014has placed considerable<br \/>\nfinancial pressure on her.<\/p>\n<p>One insider said: \u201cSarah is actually quite keen to answer<br \/>\nquestions as she strongly believes she\u2019s done nothing wrong, and<br \/>\nbeen harshly treated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Buckingham Palace, the uncertainty over what the former<br \/>\nduchess does next is deeply unwelcome. After months of attempting<br \/>\nto restore stability following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s fall<br \/>\nfrom grace, the prospect of a high-profile, unscripted interview by<br \/>\nhis former wife has revived anxieties at the very moment the King<br \/>\nhopes to draw a line under the affair.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"tbmarker\"\/>  <\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source royalcentral.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buckingham Palace is increasingly uneasy as Sarah Ferguson weighs a series of lucrative proposals for a televised interview, her first since she lost her courtesy title of Duchess of York.
