It was reported this week that Sarah Ferguson, the 66-year-old former Duchess of York, was “days away” from signing a seven-figure deal to work on a book.
Sarah Ferguson has denied rumours she’s in negotiations to write her own “tell all” autobiography.
It was reported this week that the 66-year-old former Duchess of York was “days away” from signing a seven-figure deal to work on a book, with a chapter-by-chapter synopsis covering potential subjects including her ex Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles III, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
A source had told The Sun: “Sarah wants to set the record straight about everything and earn some money to resolve her financial issues.
“There has been a secret bidding war and a deal is close to being secured.”
However, a spokesperson for the former Duchess has now denied the claims, insisting there has been “no discussions” of a book deal.
The representative added: “She is not writing a personal memoir.”
The rumoured book would have been Sarah’s latest attempt to tell her own story after publishing My Story in 1996 and Finding Sarah: A Duchess’s Journey to Find Herself in 2011.
It’s been a difficult few months for Sarah, who has faced renewed attention over her past association with Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, due to the release of documents relating to Epstein.
There is no suggestion Sarah has committed a criminal offence in relation to her friendship with the predator.
Her former husband Andrew, 66, remains the subject of a Thames Valley police investigation into alleged misconduct in public office following material released under the US Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The royal family has also been under scrutiny in recent weeks due to the publication of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister by Charles Spencer, 62.
Charles’ book contains a series of claims about his sister Diana, Princess of Wales, and her relationship with the royal family, including his account of disagreements with the then Prince Charles following Diana’s death.
Buckingham Palace has challenged elements of Charles’s recollections, while the author has defended his account.
