A friend of Sarah Ferguson has just made one thing clear when it comes to the former duchess, and that’s where her loyalties lie after she had to relinquish her Duchess of York title due to Prince Andrew’s public statement.
For those unfamiliar, the prince made this announcement following the release of the memoir Nobody’s girl which contained shocking revelations with intimate details of the prince’s relationship with Virginia Giuffre, then aged 17, which is denied.
“I strongly deny the allegations against me,” he said in the statement at the end. But noted, “in discussion with the King and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded that the continued allegations about me are distracting from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.”
“I have decided, as I have always done, to put my duty to my family and my country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to step back from public life.”
With all that out in the open, a close friend has spoken out about Fergie’s feelings.
The friend in question, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared everything Page six and said, “Sarah will always stand by Andreas,” and “she will always love him.”
This is the case despite the title streak, this friend noted, because “Sarah is laid-back … it’s always been a courtesy title.”
This comes amid fears that Fergie’s daughters are taking the brunt of the bashing as a result of their parents’ connection to the convicted sex offender.
So much so that, according to royal commentator Phil Dampier, “I am told [Sarah Ferguson] has been on the verge of a nervous breakdown.”
He told Express UK“Sarah is in a bad way and that’s hardly surprising,” given the current predicament the Mail on Sunday email leak has sparked, Mr Dampier said. “She needed support and Jane has been there for her when she needed it.”
Calls to permanently remove Prince Andrew’s titles:
Despite Prince Andrew already agreeing to no longer use the titles or honors bestowed upon him, some are calling for more permanent action.
his includes the SNP’s Westminster leader, Stephen Flynn. According to a report by The Guardian Flynn feels “if the Westminster parties remain stubbornly slow to remove Prince Andrew’s titles, the SNP will do everything we can to force them to act.”
“Prince Andrew’s titles can only be removed by an act of parliament. Therefore, this SNP proposal is a way of putting pressure on the UK Labor government to bring this legislation forward immediately.”
“The only real question is what Keir Starmer’s government is waiting for. The public knows this is the right thing to do and, more importantly, the victims at the heart of the Epstein scandal know it is the right thing to do. It must be done without further excuses and further delay.”
