New insider claims suggest\u00a0Kate Middleton<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0may be taking a softer approach toward\u00a0Sarah Ferguson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0as tensions continue within royal circles<\/strong>. The monarchy has reportedly worked to distance itself from the ongoing controversy surrounding Ferguson and her former husband, ex-Prince Andrew<\/a>. However, sources claim Middleton believes the response toward her has become unnecessarily severe. Per insiders, she is said to be encouraging a more compassionate tone when it comes to Ferguson.<\/p>\n The Princess of Wales reportedly feels ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s former wife deserves more empathy despite the controversy surrounding her public image.<\/p>\n Sources claim Kate Middleton agrees that some distance<\/a> between Sarah Ferguson, AKA Fergie, and the royal family is necessary. That said, she allegedly disagrees with what has been described as the \u201charsh way\u201d the situation has been handled.<\/p>\n One insider alleged that the former Duchess of York has made efforts to reconnect with certain members of the royal family, only to feel repeatedly shut out. According to the source, she has found the alleged silence and distance especially \u201ctormenting\u201d (via Examiner<\/a>).<\/p>\n Th future queen consort, however, reportedly believes there should be room for understanding rather than completely closing the door on communication.<\/p>\n \u201cKate doesn\u2019t feel that\u2019s the right way to handle this,\u201d the insider claimed. \u201cShe believes Sarah deserves that bit of mercy.\u201d While Middleton seemingly is protecting the monarchy\u2019s reputation during a difficult chapter, sources claim she also feels empathy for Ferguson on a personal level.<\/p>\n The reported sympathy may not be entirely surprising. Earlier insider claims suggested Kate Middleton has long viewed Sarah Ferguson\u2019s situation with nuance, particularly when it comes to her close ties with Andrew.<\/p>\n Previous reports<\/a> alleged Middleton worried Ferguson\u2019s loyalty to her ex-husband could ultimately hurt her ability to rebuild her public standing. At the same time, insiders claimed the Princess of Wales still saw Fergie as resilient and deserving of stability away from royal turmoil.<\/p>\n Sources have also alleged that Kate Middleton privately feels Sarah Ferguson has faced heavier criticism than others connected to the broader controversy. \u201cIn Kate\u2019s view,\u201d the insider suggests, Andrew is \u201cgetting off relatively easy for\u00a0his grave mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Zahrah Patel on RealityTea<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Sarah Ferguson Receives Sympathy from Unexpected Royal \u2014 Source<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New insider claims suggest\u00a0Kate Middleton\u00a0may be taking a softer approach toward\u00a0Sarah Ferguson\u00a0as tensions continue within royal circles.
