Prince Harry And Meghan Reportedly 'Scared' As 'Desperate' Sarah Ferguson Could Spill Royal Secrets Amid Scandal

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly uneasy about the possibility that Sarah Ferguson could secure a lucrative tell-all memoir revealing new details about royal life.

Commentators suggest that the book could introduce a different account to the Sussexes' own public narrative since they left the monarchy.

The speculation comes as scrutiny surrounding ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson continues, placing his daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, under renewed attention.

Meghan and Harry are said to be wary of the possibility of Sarah Ferguson, who is allegedly in a "desperate" state, landing a lucrative deal for a revealing memoir.

The former Duchess of York, who has recently faced reports of financial strain, is believed to be considering a book that might include behind-the-scenes details about royal life.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield suggested that such a project could present a different perspective on events the Sussexes have already shared publicly.

Speaking on Sky News, she claimed, "I think the Sussexes are likely scared of an alternative version of events coming out."

The royal expert continued, "Since Harry and Meghan moved to the US, they've monetised their own version of events through Spotify, Netflix, and Prince Harry's book deal, and the Royal Family's refusal to engage with them has allowed those versions to go largely unchallenged."

Schofield also pointed out that Ferguson may have insight into the couple's private life due to family connections.

One of Ferguson's daughters, Princess Eugenie, reportedly remained close to Harry during tensions with the Royal Family and even stayed at the couple's former UK residence, Frogmore Cottage, during the pandemic.

The speculation comes amid renewed scrutiny surrounding Eugenie's father, ex-Prince Andrew. The former Duke of York has faced ongoing controversy linked to his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, though he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

According to Star magazine, the situation has left Eugenie reconsidering her position within royal circles.

An insider claimed she has long maintained a close relationship with Harry and Meghan and has previously been encouraged to collaborate with them, though she had hesitated in the past because she did not want to "risk her position with the royals."

The source described Princess Eugenie as being in "crisis mode," explaining that her main focus is protecting her children while weighing her future options.

While Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, are said to have shown support, the insider suggested Eugenie feels there are limits to how much backing she can expect from the future king and queen, who have also come under scrutiny, along with the rest of the royal family, over her father, Andrew's, association with the late Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the insider, the situation "doesn't leave a great taste in her mouth to feel so easily expendable."

Meanwhile, Harry is reportedly one of the few people Eugenie feels comfortable confiding in.

The source said she has been leaning on him during the difficult period and sees his decision to step away from royal life as evidence that "there is life beyond the institution, which she really needs at this moment."

Reports from Rob Shuter's "Naughty But Nice" Substack also claim that Harry and Meghan have privately reached out to Eugenie and Princess Beatrice with support as the sisters navigate the fallout surrounding their father.

One insider suggested the Sussexes understand the feeling of being pushed to the margins, noting that "exclusion has a way of reshuffling alliances" within the royal family.

In the wake of the controversy, senior royals have reportedly been cautious about public appearances.

According to the Daily Mail, William has encouraged family members to limit situations where they might be photographed alongside Eugenie and Beatrice, a move insiders say reflects a broader effort to protect the monarchy's image during a sensitive period.

Amid the controversy, Meghan is also said to be wary of any suggestion linking the Sussexes to Andrew.

A source cited by News International claimed the disgraced royal has expressed a sense of "kinship" with Harry, believing they have both been "terribly mistreated" by the institution.

However, insiders claim any potential rapport between the two men would likely face resistance from Meghan.

The Duchess of Sussex is said to be "disgusted" with Andrew and concerned that being connected to the ongoing controversy could damage her public image and business ventures.

Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe also suggested that Meghan would prefer for the couple to remain distant from the latest tensions surrounding the monarchy.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "She'll probably be pleased that Harry has stayed out of it — she'll be wary of guilt by association." He added: "I'm sure she's telling him, 'Keep your head down, don't get involved, the royal family is in a crisis, don't drag us into this."
