Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is reportedly considering lucrative television offers for a candid interview about her connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and her former husband, Prince Andrew. Multiple American networks have allegedly presented substantial six-figure proposals for what could be a revealing conversation.
The 66-year-old author finds herself at a potential turning point following the recent removal of her and Andrew’s royal titles. This development has reportedly created significant concern within the monarchy about what she might disclose if she proceeds with an interview. Sources indicate apprehension that, having been formally distanced from the royal family, she might speak freely in a manner that could prove embarrassing to senior royals.
Ferguson is said to be carefully weighing her options, mindful of the potential consequences. Her deliberation reportedly includes concerns about avoiding a repeat of the disastrous 2019 television interview given by Prince Andrew. That appearance, widely criticized for its handling of questions about his association with Epstein, severely damaged his public standing.
According to insiders, Ferguson views this as her opportunity to present her perspective, understanding that a television interview could significantly impact her efforts to restore her reputation. Such a platform would potentially allow her to assert her claimed lack of knowledge regarding Epstein’s criminal activities.
The ongoing controversy has already affected her professional endeavors. Her latest children’s book has been withdrawn from publication entirely, with existing copies reportedly being destroyed. Publishing industry sources characterized the decision as recognizing the commercial reality that the work would face poor reception given the current circumstances. Ferguson has authored numerous books throughout her literary career.
