Sarah Ferguson is expected to end her exile and return to the UK soon. Reportedly, the former Duchess of York may take up a rented property in an elite Home Counties gated community. Meanwhile, the latest rumors suggest she is close to securing a seven-figure autobiography deal with American publishers, with sources saying the agreement could be finalized in days. "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," a source told The Sun. However, Ferguson has dismissed the claims with a new statement.

Ferguson has strongly refuted claims of being close to signing a lucrative publishing deal for an explosive autobiography about the royal family. "Sarah Ferguson is not close to signing a multi-million-dollar book deal, as has been reported. She has no plans to write any tell-all memoir," a spokesperson for the former Duchess of York stated, GB News reported.

The memoir was said to cover controversial topics including Ferguson's troubled marriage, alleged ties to convicted s** offender Jeffrey Epstein, and her relationships with King Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The news came on the heels of Charles Spencer's release of his bombshell memoir commemorating his late sister, Princess Diana.

"The notes are compelling, and the bidders are excited. Fergie is ever the optimist and believes she can be forgiven and welcomed back," a source claimed. Last October, Charles stripped his brother and his ex-wife of their titles due to escalating Epstein allegations. In February, Fergie and her ex-husband were evicted from Royal Lodge, Windsor, coinciding with news that six companies linked to her were closing down. After spending the summer abroad, she is planning a comeback. The former Duchess is said to have told her friends that she aims to clarify her connections to Epstein and regain public support.

Fergie has published two memoirs, My Story in 1996 and Finding Sarah in 2011. She has also authored the Budgie the Little Helicopter books, which were adapted into a children's TV series in 1994. Similar rumors had swirled in 2025: "It is not designed to exonerate Andrew, but obviously she would not be able to write him out of it as he is an important part of her life," an insider had claimed to The Sun. "She couldn’t write a memoir without him being in it."
