New Children's Book Won't Be Published - Sarah Ferguson’s book pulled as she eyes Portugal move amid royal scandal
Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, is reportedly considering a move to Portugal. This comes amidst the withdrawal of her child's book, 'Flora and Fern: A Book of Comfort and Joy', from Penguin Books. The publisher has not provided an official reason, but the ongoing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are believed to be a factor.
Ferguson's potential relocation may involve a property owned by her daughter, Princess Eugenie, and son-in-law, Jack Brooksbank, in Portugal. This news follows the recent withdrawal of Ferguson's child's book. The book, originally scheduled for release on October 9, was delayed and then ultimately pulled from shelves at the publisher's request. The English title differs from the German translation, which is 'Flora und Fern: Eine Geschichte von Trost und Freude'.
The book's withdrawal comes as Ferguson faces scrutiny over her relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein. She previously claimed to have cut ties with Epstein after his conviction but was later reported to have referred to him as her 'best friend' in emails. Meanwhile, Ferguson's former husband, Prince Andrew, has been stripped of his princely title by King Charles III and has announced he will no longer use his ducal title. Andrew has been accused of sexually abusing Virginia Giuffre when she was 17, which he denies. He reportedly settled a legal dispute with Giuffre out of court for millions of pounds.
Sarah Ferguson's potential move to Portugal and the withdrawal of her child's book highlight the ongoing impact of the allegations surrounding her and Prince Andrew. While no official reason has been given for the book's withdrawal, the timing suggests a connection to the ongoing controversy. Ferguson's future plans and the potential implications for her family remain to be seen.
