Despite the palace’s briefings that they’re treating Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson harshly, nothing could be further from the truth. Andrew will likely move into a palatial “cottage” on the Sandringham estate and enjoy a well-funded retirement in Norfolk. Sarah is being cut loose, but she’s been given two months to basically figure out her next moves. Sarah’s team has already briefed outlets on her plans to move forward independently and no longer live with her ex-husband. So what’s Sarah’s plan? The Sun claims that Fergie has hired a new team to put together a comeback plan. Which sounds like… something Sarah would absolutely do.
The former Duchess of York is plotting her comeback and is set to finally separate from ex-husband Andrew — 30 years after they divorced. Sarah Ferguson has held talks with an expensive “brand rescue team” after being stripped of her title and kicked out of Royal Lodge.
Fergie lost a string of patronages after The Sun on Sunday revealed she had emailed Jeffrey Epstein calling him a “supreme friend” and apologising for saying he was a paedophile. She was also axed from ITV daytime telly show Loose Women.
Sarah, 66, is expected to be forced to shed most of her staff and flunkeys after Andrew was finally forced out of his 30-room Windsor mansion. Sarah and Andrew married in 1986 and divorced in 1996. She moved into his Royal Lodge home in 2008.
Now, for the first time in 17 years, Fergie is set to fend for herself. Her daughters — Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie — are said to be encouraging their mum to embark on a rebrand. It is understood she is working with fixers who operate with some of the biggest brands. And Sarah has told her team of experts she wants to be a leader in the “female positivity world”. The one-time duchess wants to embark on a number of branding and commercial opportunities as a mother and philanthropist.
A source said yesterday: “Sarah has always been a grafter and a hard worker and always finds ways of making money and getting out of a hole. She has expensive tastes and massive outgoings but always found a way to make ends meet. Calls from brands may go unanswered right now but she is still Sarah Ferguson and still a big name.”
Meanwhile, a friend insisted Sarah was “taking stock” after a stressful few months and hoped to “let the dust settle” before moving on.
As we’ve discussed a lot in the past month, Sarah has made and lost several fortunes already. I have no idea where all of the money has gone – she obviously lives large and has no idea how to budget or save, but still. It’s insane that she’s a woman in her 60s and she should have a retirement nest egg worth millions, but apparently the money is all gone and she’s planning to launch another dumb comeback. This comeback will fail as well – after everything that’s happened, no one wants it, no one will pay her for anything.

She’s such a ridiculous woman.
There is no way she is employing a high end branding agency. She is so broke she is likely begging her children to let her move in with them.
She really needs to fall into the background.
Her daughters bought her a home a few years ago just in case anything like this happened. And she just sold that house a few months ago. I can’t imagine how pissed they must be right now.
I think they misspelled grifter
That was my thought too!
I came here to say the same thing!
“Graft” works, too.
I dont think you can fix begging a known child sex trafficker for his forgiveness for having to say she was done with him but wanted him to know she still was behind him 100%! I dont think that can be fixed nor should it be!!!
She doesn’t get that does she? Not only did she beg a known child sex trafficker (and rapist) for his forgiveness but she took her own daughters around him. You have to have a dead soul as a mother to turn a blind eye to his crimes and those also committed by Andrew. And she wants to be a leader in the “female positivity world”? I don’t have the words.
The utter gall or gaul is astonishing that she thinks she can be a leader of anything!!
Isn’t the RF concerned that she might write a “Spare” in order to make $? Surely she must know enough gossip to fill a book? Seems like it might behoove them to square her away so she can drink her tea instead of spilling it.
She won’t. That would put the girls in Charles’ and Williams’ crosshairs and ice them out. She isn’t going to write a tell-all that could have the whole family iced out of the Royal Family, meaning their daughters.
how is she paying this “team”? seriously.
This! My first thought was ummm how is she paying for these expensive fixers.
“she wants to be a leader in the ‘female positivity world'”
Fuck all the way off. You don’t get to do that after snuggling up to a prolific child rapist, bitch.
My thoughts exactly! I was enraged reading this bit. F all the way off Sarah. I don’t wish this woman well, hope the rest of her years are spent in misery, which is exactly what she deserves.
Came here to say the same thing, Miranda.
Say it again for the latecomers, Miranda.
That firm is just gonna take what little is left of her money. There’s no coming back from this lady! You’re done! So is your pedo ex. Even your own daughters have had it with your crap.
I have to assume her plan is to leak stories like this to scare Charles in to paying her to keep quiet. I really don’t believe she’s not getting SOMETHING out of him. I also think she’s probably going to continue to live with Andrew, and this nonsense about them “finally” separating (they’ve been divorced three times longer than they were married at this point!) is some sort of subterfuge.
Maybe she can call Andy Cohen and get onto one of the Bravo real housewives shows.
I think people would tune in to see her on one of the real housewives show.
Possibly a good fit with the housewives but I’m hoping people don’t offer her any money making opportunities. She does not deserve to profit from her associations and support of various criminals and now to claim she wants to focus on female positivity? The audacity.
She’d need a lot of plastic surgery to be on a Housewives production. She could earn up to 500,000 pounds if she was able to secure a spot on Celebrity Big Brother. Maybe more.
Oh Sarah! So you’ve got a little money squared away and you are going to squander it on the hope of a bigger pay day. this is why you are in this mess not knowing when to stop Take a moment and chill
Yes, she’s always found ways to make ends meet–by repeatedly asking a human trafficker for money.
Perhaps she should become an ambassador for self-determined humility and make amends for her mistakes. Has she said a single word about this? About the damage her boyfriend and husband have caused? No? Has she shown any deep remorse for accepting money from these circles, a lot of money? Then she should start showing public humility now, so that something can still come of her life and we can all see that she has shed her arrogance.
The thing is that she can say whatever she wants but no one should believe her. Now we know that she’d publicly disavowed Epstein only to privately grovel for forgiveness and that she didn’t mean it so now she can claim humility or request forgiveness but she’s proven she will say anything in order to continue her grift.
“Sarah has always been a grafter and a hard worker and always finds ways of making money and getting out of a hole.”
Sure, which was call Epstein and borrow more money. The woman will keep leeching and finding ways to sell access to dodgy people.
UK Celebrity Big Brother and Traitors are the only offers I can see
Don’t bet on it. There are enough royal sycophants to feather her nest. She’s such a bottom dweller.
Tell me again what good a royal family does for the UK
Fergie is not someone they want to leave flapping out in the wind. All these years and she has always kissed royal ass because of what she wanted from them for herself and her daughters. So if they cut her off; I don’t think even the royals are that stupid. They need to take care of her privately, cause she could still write another book and make a lot of money. I still think she is “loyal” to them, but as we’ve seen, she is “loyal” to whoever pays her.
The tone of this Sun article is very positive but Meghan trying to make an honest living is sneered at and attacked. As Kaiser said, Fergie should be looking to retire not trying to make more money.
When has Fergie ever gone it alone, she’s always been bankrolled by others. Her old boyfriend, Paddy McNally was also giving her and Andrew freebies holidays for example. I’m sure she’s only pretending to go solo from Andrew. It’s cushier to remain under the same roof.
Fergie had many rebrands, with the same results, losing money.
I’m really curious about that Mayfair real estate transaction. It’s not really clear who actually bought the property, and why it was sold and who has the money or is eating the loss from the sale. It seems like a good thing though that Andrew and Sarah married each other and didn’t ruin the lives of two other people.
