The former Duchess of York faces growing scrutiny after being banned from Royal Lodge and may follow Meghan Markle’s path to reclaim her narrative.
Sarah Ferguson, the Duke of York’s ex-wife, is reportedly considering her next move after being banned from Royal Lodge by King Charles. The decision came following the leak of an email she allegedly sent to a convicted sex offender, leaving her in serious trouble and at odds with the royal household.
The former Duchess of York, who once called herself the “luckiest girl in the world” when marrying a “handsome prince,” may now be preparing to tell her side of the story. According to reports, Ferguson is being approached by several media outlets for a sit-down interview and is also said to be weighing a potential memoir that could explore the events leading to her recent fall from grace.
The move would mark Ferguson’s first public appearance since her royal exit. However, it could also open old wounds. She has already been dropped from several charities and distanced by senior royals. Some commentators suggest she may take a page from Meghan Markle’s playbook and use the opportunity to present her version of events, though such a move risks further tension within the royal circle.
Ferguson, once dubbed “Fabulous Fergie” for her lavish lifestyle, has long been known for her openness. Still, royal commentators doubt she would go as far as revealing palace secrets. Speaking to The Mirror, royal expert Jennie Bond said that Ferguson’s previous works were deeply personal rather than critical of others. “She’s always been very self-reflective rather than revealing or unkind,” Bond explained, adding that Ferguson has consistently shown admiration for the late Queen Elizabeth II and respect for King Charles III.
Meanwhile, the Duke of York remains largely out of public life after losing his royal titles and honours. With his future uncertain, all attention now turns to Ferguson — and whether she will use the media spotlight to redefine her role or risk reigniting royal controversy.
