Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson is threatening to raise hell if Queen Camilla doesn’t help her get back into the royal family’s good graces, a source tells Star.
“Sarah keeps saying Camilla owes her,” dishes the source. “She says she stood by Camilla through the darkest years and now that she needs a bit of loyalty back, all she gets is silence.”
The former Duchess of York, who no longer uses her royal title after ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his over his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, found herself in the headlines when a 2011 email surfaced, in which she calls the late convicted sex offender, 66, an “extreme friend.”
Andrew, 65, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and a spokesperson for Fergie, 66, shared a statement to People addressing the reports about her email to Epstein: “The Duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago, and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims. Like many people, she was taken in by his lies. As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with paedophilia. She does not resile from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the Duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats.”

However, it did little to mitigate the backlash.
On Tuesday, November 18, the Daily Mail reported that the release of Fergie’s new children’s book Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way is being pulled. She has also been dropped by several charities, per the BBC.
“Sarah ought to know that Camilla really can’t do anything to help her,” adds the source, noting that if the Queen consort, 78, were to speak up, she would land in “hot water” with her husband King Charles III and stepson Prince William.
That’s not Fergie’s problem, though.
“She is a ticking time bomb,” warns the source. “The angrier she gets, the more likely she is to go through with her threats to take everyone down with her, and Sarah has enough stories to make everyone in the family very embarrassed.”
