The former Duchess of York reportedly sees any sit-down as a way to clear her name

Sarah Ferguson’s tell-all interview would just be seen as an attempt to control the narrative of her ongoing scandal, according to a royal expert.

Reports began to circulate late last year the former Duchess of York was “carefully considering” US interview offers.


American broadcasters are believed to be willing to pay six-figure sums for a blockbuster interview with Ms Ferguson.

Royal expert, Jared Meade, has claimed audiences would see through any big-money interview.

He told GB News: “Most viewers would assume the interview was an attempt to control the narrative or redirect attention by pointing fingers elsewhere.

“Without her taking accountability by tackling the Epstein issue head-on and being completely transparent about her involvement, the interview would only deepen the public’s skepticism.”

Any interview with Ms Ferguson would most likely see her answer questions about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's role in the scandal involving his friendship with Epstein and his relationship with Virginia Giuffre.

The former prince reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022 with Ms Giuffre, which concluded without any admission of guilt.

Andrew has consistently denied all allegations against him and he is currently under investigation by Thames Valley Police for misconduct in public offiice

Palace aids are allegedly said to be "worried" about what Ms Ferguson might say.

One source told The Sun: "There's a danger of her going rogue and saying things that could cause embarrassment for King Charles and Queen Camilla, or other members of the Royal family. But there's not much they can do to stop her."

An insider claimed: "Sarah and her team have had offers from all over the world for a sit-down. So she's thinking things over very carefully.

"She and her team know a televised interview would be make or break for her in terms of salvaging her reputation.

"It would also give her the chance to spell out the fact she knew nothing about what Epstein and his associates were doing in terms of abusing girls.

"Sarah is actually quite keen to answer questions as she strongly believes she's done nothing wrong, and been harshly treated."

Mr Meade concluded to the People’s Channel: “I don’t think another tell-all interview will spell the end of the monarchy, especially if the person being interviewed is Sarah Ferguson.”

The financial pressures Ms Ferguson faces appear to have been laid bare by the Epstein files. And since the latest release, six companies, of which Ms Ferguson was director, have begun the process of closing down.

The nature of these companies' operations remains largely unclear, although records indicate that one was involved in public relations work, while the other operated in retail.

None of the businesses appears to have been particularly active commercially, with most classified as dormant entities showing minimal recent trading activity.

Being named in the Epstein files does not necessarily indicate misconduct.

Ms Ferguson and Mr Mountbatten-Windsor have always denied any wrongdoing.
