Sarah Ferguson warned about 'ruining her children's lives' with move amid Epstein scandal
Sarah is embroiled in scandalRumours have recently suggested that Sarah Ferguson could end up doing a tell-all interview about the scandal engulfing her.
Sarah, 66, has been under intense scrutiny for some months now over her past association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
One royal commentator has said that doing a tell-all interview about the scandal may put Sarah in a difficult position, especially with her children Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Scandal surrounding Sarah Ferguson and Epstein
Sarah has been lying low this year following the release of millions of Epstein files in January.
Within the files, emails allegedly showed the extent of Sarah and Epstein’s friendship.
One email from 2009 appeared to show Sarah describing Epstein as “the brother I have always wished for”.
Meanwhile, in 2010, as reported by the BBC, an email from “Sarah” to Epstein read: “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness.
“Xx I am at your service . Just marry me.”

Her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is also under scrutiny over his past links to Epstein.
He was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. It came after he was accused of sharing sensitive and confidential information with Epstein in 2010 during his time as UK’s trade envoy.
Hours after his arrest, police released Andrew under investigation. At the time of writing, the investigation continues.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Being named or pictured among the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
Sarah Ferguson warned about tell-all interview
Some sources have claimed that Sarah could end up doing a tell-all interview about her association with Epstein.
However, the former Duchess of York has been warned against the move.
Speaking to the Mirror, Ingrid Seward, who previously spent time with Sarah, revealed her stance on the matter.
She said: “If she does a book or a tell-all interview she will be cutting herself off from everyone and potentially ruining her children’s lives, which is one thing she would not do. I’m sure they’re telling her to keep quiet and lie low.
“But that might be the only way she can make money, she’s not going to be supported by her children forever. But she has an incredible knack of finding people to look after her. She lands on her feet, but she’s often fought hard to do so, so I think she will be okay in the long-run.”
‘Name’ Sarah had for Andrew following divorce
Meanwhile, Ingrid also revealed the way Sarah referred to Andrew even after their divorce.
If she does a book or a tell-all interview she will be cutting herself off from everyone and potentially ruining her children’s lives.
They married in 1986 and split in 1992. Their divorce was finalised in 1996.
Ingrid added: “I remember on one occasion a long time ago I was with her and [Andrew] rang up and she stood up and said, ‘Hello husband’. He wasn’t really her husband at that point as they had separated, but that’s how they’ve always seen each other.”
