Royal Expert Questions Sarah Ferguson’s Motives Amid Portugal Move
Royal commentator Jennie Bond believes Sarah, Duchess of York’s recent relocation to Portugal raises questions about her sincerity, citing a long-held skepticism about the Duchess and the fallout from her past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Bond’s comments come as Ferguson’s public image faces renewed scrutiny following the emergence of a previously undisclosed letter to Epstein, where she referred to him as a “supreme friend” despite publicly distancing herself from him.
Bond explained that Ferguson’s brand is “terminally tarnished” after charities dropped her and reports surfaced that her latest book is being pulped. “it did seem to me that life in Portugal might suit her tastes well, but it’s a very sensitive situation,” she stated, suggesting the move could be a strategic attempt to escape ongoing criticism.
The controversy stems from a letter written by Ferguson to epstein after his 2008 conviction for sex offenses. The letter, recently revealed, contradicts her previous public statements disowning him. This revelation has led to critically important backlash, with many questioning her judgment and character. Bond added that Ferguson is now “almost as toxic as her ex-husband,” referencing Prince Andrew’s own scandal involving Epstein.
