Sarah Ferguson Was 'Obsessed' With Sean Diddy Combs, Claims Author: 'She Liked Bad Boys'
Lownie doubled down on allegations that Ferguson had a long-running ‘friends with benefits relationship’ with Combs.
Once again, Sarah Ferguson is at the center of a major controversy—and this time, it connects her to disgraced music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. Royal author Andrew Lownie put the focus back on his alarming claims as he appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show and spoke about the allegations he made in the updated edition of his book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, that reignited debate over Ferguson’s relationship with the disgraced musician.
As he spoke to host Megyn Kelly, Lownie doubled down on allegations that Ferguson had what he described as a long-running ‘friends with benefits' relationship with Combs. He stated, “It was her friends-with-benefits relationship that went on for many years.” The royal biographer explained that he initially assumed the pair first met in 2002; however, later, he discovered photographs allegedly showing Ferguson attending one of Combs’ birthday parties in 1998. According to Lownie, the former Duchess of York “liked rappers” and frequently steered close toward wealthy and high-profile celebrities.
According to Lownie, Fergie has a long-standing history of being captivated by high-profile figures, specifically noting her "obsessions with, particularly, rich and well-known people." The royal biographer pointed to stars like Tiger Woods, Kevin Costner, and John F. Kennedy Jr. among those he claimed caught her attention. He also challenged past assertions regarding her relationship with Diddy. “One of the things she claimed was that she'd only met P. Diddy twice,” Lownie said. “Well, there's plenty of photographic evidence of them meeting on numerous occasions... But my source is strong, I'm standing up by it.” According to the author, Combs himself was also eager to build connections with Britain’s royal family.
During the interview, Lownie elaborated, “And we know that P. Diddy was very keen to kind of get close to the British royal family.” He added that public surprise over the alleged relationship did not shock him, and that’s because, in his view, it fit right into Ferguson’s broader social history. “She liked bad boys, and there's a whole history of getting involved with men who were very unsuitable,” he stressed. However, the claims continue to face strong pushback from those close to Ferguson. Earlier this month, a source close to the former duchess dismissed the allegations to The Sun as “fabricated nonsense,” while some representatives linked to Combs also denied accusations.
Despite the backlash, Lownie has continued to publicly defend the claims made in his book. While speaking previously to The Times on May 9, the author said he “stands by” the biography. He insisted, “It’s fully sourced with former employees of P. Diddy and Sarah Ferguson.” In Entitled, Lownie alleged the pair became acquainted at a 2002 party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell before allegedly beginning a s****l relationship years later. He further added that Combs bragged to colleagues about sleeping with Ferguson and even made troubling comments regarding her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. With renewed media attention now surrounding Combs himself, the resurfaced allegations have once again placed Ferguson under an uncomfortable spotlight, and she’s trying her best to escape from it like the rest of it.
