Sarah Ferguson reportedly went back and forth before deciding to attend Paddy’s memorial service. According to an insider quoted by Closer, she was nervous about making a public appearance but eventually decided to face her fears. Her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, reportedly stayed by her side throughout the event to offer moral support.
However, Ferguson soon appeared comfortable among the guests. The insider claimed she was “schmoozing with everyone like old times,” even interacting with Peter Phillips. The source added that she now considers the event just the beginning of her return to the social life she once knew.
The insider suggested that Ferguson has a message for those expecting her to stay out of the spotlight. She reportedly has four words for them: “I am done hiding.” However, her plans have allegedly surprised King Charles and Prince William. According to the insider, both royals were “quite shocked” by the warm welcome Ferguson received at the memorial service.
They reportedly hoped to distance themselves from the scandal surrounding the former Duchess of York. However, her return to public life could make that harder. The source further claimed that the two royals were “absolutely fed up with the whole situation.” The insider described Ferguson as a “thorn in their side.” They suggested her return to society events could bring the monarchy unwanted attention once again.
Still, Ferguson’s reported determination to stop hiding suggests that she may not be ready to retreat from public life again. Whether she makes regular appearances at upcoming society events remains to be seen.
