Since stepping down as working royals in 2020 and moving to the United States, the couple have turned their experience into a commercially successful narrative through a Netflix docuseries, a Spotify podcast deal and Harry&#8217;s bestselling memoir <em>Spare<\/em>. Those projects painted their exit as a necessary escape from a hostile institution and press pack, and the Palace&#8217;s decision not to engage publicly left the Sussex account largely unchallenged.<\/p>\n<p>American commentator Kinsey Schofield, who hosts <em>Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered<\/em>, told Sky News she believes that is exactly why any Ferguson book worries them. &#8216;I think the Sussexes are likely scared of an alternative version of events coming out,&#8217; she said, arguing that they have effectively monetised a one\u2011sided story. In other words, if Ferguson starts telling tales from Windsor drawing rooms and Windsor gardens, the couple would lose their near\u2011monopoly on the inside track.\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<figure class=\"fullCode\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\">\n<div class=\"code\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am truly saddened to hear of the tragic loss of life at Upemba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, following an armed raid of the park earlier this week. <\/p>\n<p>Environmental protection has become one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet and the bravery of those\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KensingtonRoyal\/status\/2029894117312847963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Schofield went further, pointing to the personal ties that could make Fergie&#8217;s perspective especially awkward for Meghan and Harry. At least one of Ferguson&#8217;s daughters, widely understood to be Princess Eugenie, &#8216;stayed especially close to Harry throughout the breakdown of the relationship with the family,&#8217; she noted. Eugenie also lived at Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes&#8217; former Windsor home, during the pandemic, giving Ferguson a potential line of sight into the couple&#8217;s domestic life and their thinking at a moment when relations with the Palace were turning toxic.\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<p>None of this is confirmed. There is, at this stage, no signed contract, no publication date and no manuscript. Everything rests on anonymously sourced briefings, TV pundit speculation and the long\u2011running cottage industry of people guessing which royal will write the next big book. In that sense, readers should treat the idea of a Ferguson tell\u2011all and the extent of the Sussexes&#8217; fear with a degree of caution.\u200b<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"inBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\" style=\"height:0;padding-bottom:60%\">\n<picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.webp?w=736&amp;f=f8ec4bec802d60cf956d6b7ae60c6ffa 736w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.jpg?w=736&amp;f=f8ec4bec802d60cf956d6b7ae60c6ffa 736w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"1100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.webp?w=1100&amp;f=2d6d580100f8f711bb445d36940bec1c 1100w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"1100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.jpg?w=1100&amp;f=2d6d580100f8f711bb445d36940bec1c 1100w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.webp?w=736&amp;f=f8ec4bec802d60cf956d6b7ae60c6ffa 736w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.jpg?w=736&amp;f=f8ec4bec802d60cf956d6b7ae60c6ffa 736w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.webp?w=480&amp;f=c4538183d0303a73ad4321f6f79d0a84 480w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.jpg?w=480&amp;f=c4538183d0303a73ad4321f6f79d0a84 480w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1792017\/sarah-ferguson-ex-prince-andrew.webp?w=736&amp;f=f8ec4bec802d60cf956d6b7ae60c6ffa\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\" style=\"max-width:2120px;\">\n<span class=\"cap\">Sarah Ferguson\u2019s vanishing act: the ex-duchess retreats abroad as the House of York faces its reckoning.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"credit\">Mirror Royal @MirrorRoyal \/ X<\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>A &#8216;Desperate&#8217; Sarah Ferguson And The High Price Of Royal Secrets<\/h2>\n<p>If Meghan and Harry are indeed nervous, it is not hard to see why publishers would find Sarah attractive. She married into the family in the 1980s, navigated divorce, scandal and semi\u2011exile, and now finds herself financially stretched, her ex\u2011husband Andrew Mountbatten\u2011Windsor mired in disgrace over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. Journalist Amanda Platell recently described her as a &#8216;very dangerous woman&#8217; because desperation and decades of accumulated anecdotes make for a highly combustible mix.<\/p>\n<p>Platell has argued that<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2178898\/royal-family-live-harry-meghan-markle-sarah-ferguson\" target=\"_blank\"> Ferguson<\/a> may already have the raw material to cause trouble, in the form of diaries kept during her time in the Royal Family. She suggested streaming platforms and publishers would &#8216;pay a king&#8217;s ransom&#8217; for access, particularly if the book delves into Ferguson&#8217;s reported links with Epstein and the internal fallout from Harry and Meghan&#8217;s exit. Another royal watcher, Tom Sykes, has claimed that Ferguson could seek a &#8216;big money deal&#8217; that includes behind\u2011the\u2011scenes conversations about how the Sussex split was handled at court.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the awkward fact that the Sussexes themselves helped normalise the idea that private royal conversations are fair game if the price is right. Harry&#8217;s own memoir laid bare arguments with Prince William and private exchanges with his father, while the couple&#8217;s Netflix series aired grievances that would once have been kept behind palace walls. If Ferguson chooses to &#8216;do a Harry,&#8217; as Platell put it, the moral ground on which Meghan and Harry might object becomes much less solid.\u200b<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"inBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\" style=\"height:0;padding-bottom:60.0094%\">\n<picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.webp?w=736&amp;f=6dee46f88e9f64fdf04b6603010b0979 736w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.jpg?w=736&amp;f=6dee46f88e9f64fdf04b6603010b0979 736w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"1100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.webp?w=1100&amp;f=64c42909abbc0b3ec02977edb762f06e 1100w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"1100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.jpg?w=1100&amp;f=64c42909abbc0b3ec02977edb762f06e 1100w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.webp?w=736&amp;f=6dee46f88e9f64fdf04b6603010b0979 736w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.jpg?w=736&amp;f=6dee46f88e9f64fdf04b6603010b0979 736w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.webp?w=480&amp;f=12f9b28216848d205802b75dd7b0d290 480w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.jpg?w=480&amp;f=12f9b28216848d205802b75dd7b0d290 480w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.webp?w=736&amp;f=6dee46f88e9f64fdf04b6603010b0979\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" id=\"i1791995\" src=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1791995\/prince-harry-prince-william.jpg?w=736&amp;f=6dee46f88e9f64fdf04b6603010b0979\" alt=\"Prince Harry and Prince William\" width=\"736\" height=\"442\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\" style=\"max-width:2138px;\">\n<span class=\"cap\">Once inseparable, Princes William and Harry now stand on opposite sides of a royal rift neither seems ready to bridge.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"credit\">Page Six @PageSix \/ X<\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Still, there are reasons to doubt whether Ferguson would go all\u2011out nuclear. Separate reports have suggested that her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are &#8216;begging&#8217; her not to publish any book that could drag them back into the chaos they have been trying to escape as they build private lives with young families. They have already endured the collateral damage of their father&#8217;s scandals and, according to royal commentators, are desperate to keep what remains of their status intact.<\/p>\n<p>What is clear is that the stakes in any Ferguson memoir would reach well beyond Meghan and Harry. A book that revisits Ferguson&#8217;s friendship with Epstein, Andrew&#8217;s downfall, her relationship with the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and the messy years of royal rehabilitation would inevitably drag the whole House of Windsor back through a swamp it has been trying to drain. For a monarchy still adjusting to King Charles&#8217;s reign and battling polling fatigue, another round of tell\u2011all revelations is the last thing the Palace press office needs.\u200b<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"inBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\" style=\"height:0;padding-bottom:60.0352%\">\n<picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.webp?w=736&amp;f=48ab3de9ffabdae43b4a75f815966375 736w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.jpg?w=736&amp;f=48ab3de9ffabdae43b4a75f815966375 736w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"1100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.webp?w=1100&amp;f=0ee970b77410522cb1392b69c50dbd8d 1100w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"1100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.jpg?w=1100&amp;f=0ee970b77410522cb1392b69c50dbd8d 1100w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.webp?w=736&amp;f=48ab3de9ffabdae43b4a75f815966375 736w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\" sizes=\"736px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.jpg?w=736&amp;f=48ab3de9ffabdae43b4a75f815966375 736w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.webp?w=480&amp;f=38656cfedbc29d4d1d8d8d0a5367592e 480w\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.jpg?w=480&amp;f=38656cfedbc29d4d1d8d8d0a5367592e 480w\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.webp?w=736&amp;f=48ab3de9ffabdae43b4a75f815966375\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" id=\"i1789384\" src=\"https:\/\/d.ibtimes.co.uk\/en\/full\/1789384\/sarah-ferguson.jpg?w=736&amp;f=48ab3de9ffabdae43b4a75f815966375\" alt=\"Sarah Ferguson\" width=\"736\" height=\"442\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\" style=\"max-width:1136px;\">\n<span class=\"cap\">In the Epstein saga, it\u2019s not just who you knew\u2014it\u2019s what the records say you were willing to overlook.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"credit\">Sarah Ferguson \/ Instagram<\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>For the Sussexes, though, the risk is more personal than institutional.
