Royal Expert Claims Sarah Ferguson Lived a Very 'Marie Antoinette Kind of Life'
Royal author Andrew Lownie talked about his time working with Sarah Ferguson and he had nothing nice to say.
The Epstein Files scandal has opened a can of worms, and it keeps plaguing Sarah Ferguson. If there is one thing that she needs right now, it is some positive backing, but she might not receive that. To add to the other allegations about her, royal author Andrew Lownie recently revealed his experience of working with the former Duchess of York, and in simple terms, it was “absolutely chaotic.”
It seems that many of Lownie’s issues with Fergie were rooted in her erratic behaviour. He told Page Six in an exclusive interview, “She couldn’t make up her mind. She changed her mind at the last minute.” He further claimed that the staff working for her had terribly low morale. People wept in the bathrooms and often quit the job after working for “half a day.” He added, “Very few people stayed, and if they did, it was a sort of 24-hour-a-day job because she has this extraordinary energy and she would be flying off in different places, not very organized.”
While her brother-in-law, King Charles, is extremely strict about not wasting food, it appears that Ferguson was the exact opposite of that. “Various meals being prepared and then actually not having any of them,” Lownie said. The chef would reportedly be instructed to prepare a meal, but then Fergie would decide to go out to eat at the last minute. “Huge waste,” Lownie mentioned, “It’s extraordinary that everything has to be new. Just this Marie Antoinette kind of life, you know, easy come, easy go.”
Calling Ferguson “very manipulative,” Lownie further added that she was constantly “playing off people against each other. These people kind of got dragged into her crazy schemes, designing a lingerie range, setting up an artist colony in the Bahamas.” The author further alleged that many of her business proposals were "about trying to fleece someone out of some money.”
In recent times, the royal family has carefully distanced itself from Ferguson and her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, after their involvement in the Epstein scandal was discovered. They were stripped of their titles last October, and earlier this year, both of them were ousted from their 30-room mansion, Royal Lodge. While Mountbatten-Windsor moved into the much more modest Marsh Farm last month, Ferguson had been missing from the public eye for months after her eviction from Royal Lodge.
In April this year, she was spotted in the Swiss Alps for the first time in months. “Fergie has been keeping an incredibly low profile while high up in the Alps. The area is absolutely beautiful, and it’s very quiet most of the time, so it’s the perfect place for a high-profile figure such as her to lie low when the heat is on,” a source had said at the time.
