Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson may soon tell the world what she knows.
The former Duchess of York, 66, is reportedly being courted by outlets “from all over the world” — with some said to be offering a six-figure sum — for a “sit-down” interview, according to The Sun.
The publication reported last week that Fergie’s team has received “significant” bids from networks in the United States with talks also apparently happening in other places, including the U.K.
Last month, King Charles III stripped his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his ex-wife of their royal titles and honors, and they have been asked to vacate Royal Lodge.
The former Prince Andrew has continued to come under fire in recent days due to his connection to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but has consistently maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing.
“She’s thinking things over very carefully,” a source said of the children’s book author. “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.”

A source also told The Sun this could be “Sarah’s chance to distance herself from [Andrew] and explain she knew nothing,” adding: “Sarah has always said she had no idea what Epstein, and Andrew, were up to — and why would anyone tell her? She’s the mother of two girls after all.” (She and Andrew share daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.)
However, the possibility of Ferguson being interviewed appears to be causing a stir amongst the royals.
“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 family,” said a source.
With the release of her most recent children’s book being halted, a source said, “She has to find money and somewhere to live next year. Sarah is bruised like never before by events, and things like the book being pulped have damaged her income.”
Ferguson, who previously said via a representative that she was “taken in” by Epstein’s “lies” and also denies any wrongdoing, “is actually quite keen to answer questions as she strongly believes she’s done nothing wrong, and been harshly treated,” a source added.
