Prince William reportedly labeled Sarah Ferguson a “scheming wretch” and believes she has no place in the royal fold. The remark comes amid reports that Ferguson may be considering publishing a memoir about her married life with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and her experiences behind the palace walls.
While these are only rumors for now, a memoir could reportedly create further challenges for the Palace, especially following the release of Charles Spencer‘s memoir about Princess Diana.
Prince William brands Sarah a ‘scheming wretch’ with no place in the royal fold, per source
Prince William reportedly believes that Sarah Ferguson has no place in the royal fold. After the large-scale controversy last year, Ferguson was asked to leave Royal Lodge. Earlier, multiple reports suggested that Ferguson was planning a tell-all memoir, although it was never confirmed. However, now that Charles Spencer’s new memoir about Princess Diana is out, it has reportedly taken Ferguson by surprise.
A source told Closer Online that this has reminded her that a memoir of this scale can cause chaos. Prince William is reportedly not happy with the situation, and even urged Charles to remove his uncle’s titles long before he actually did. When it comes to Ferguson, he allegedly believes that she is a “scheming wretch” and should not be back in the royal fold again.
Although the monarch agrees with this, the situation is reportedly complicated, especially following the controversy surrounding Spencer’s memoir. The source said, “They don’t need any more enemies, so Sarah may yet get some type of compromise on that basis.”
Ferguson is reportedly aware of the situation and is willing to agree to a financial settlement, according to the source. She reportedly doesn’t want a huge payout. However, since she is facing a financial crisis, she allegedly needs help from the Palace to replace the substantial amount of money she could have earned from a book.
Her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, reportedly believe the move could backfire and make things worse, but Ferguson doesn’t see it that way. The source concluded, “She says she could easily go off and make a fortune trading on all the family secrets she knows, and instead she’s showing restraint; she thinks that ought to count for something.”
