On Christmas Day, many royal fans were surprised to see Sarah Ferguson join the royal family on their annual walk to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk. The last time anyone has seen her with the royal family on their holiday tradition was 32 years ago. The unexpected sighting has many royal watchers scratching their heads as to why King Charles III embraced her attendance this year, especially when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to be excluded from family events.
Well, Prince Andrew and the upcoming release of the Jeffrey Epstein court documents in January 2024 might be the reason why. Some critics are suggesting that having Fergie make an appearance alongside the controversial royal distracts from the pending doom which reportedly has the Duke of York at “at a loss, totally tormented,” according to a Daily Mail source. By having someone like Ferguson, who is still pretty popular with the public, by his side, it changes the headlines over the Christmas holiday. Instead of people asking why Andrew was included again this year amid his tarnished image, the headlines are all about his ex-wife.
Of course, social media users saw right through King Charles’ alleged PR strategy because it’s straight from his palace playbook. “How much are the royals paying Fergie to stand by Prince Andrew to try and make him appear normal,” questioned on X, formerly Twitter, user. Another person chimed in, “Don’t tell me she isn’t planning her outfit for balcony appearances. I hope Prince Andrew does to jail so we don’t have to see more of Fergie.” And one account noted, “I guess fergie was the only one who agreed to appear in the same shot as him.”
The Daily Mail insiders sound pretty confident that “Andrew’s name is in there” and his Epstein association, along with the sexual abuse allegations, will rear its ugly head again. “He is beside himself with this latest development and everyone close to him is concerned for his mental wellbeing,” they explained.” He is facing his second Christmas without his mother and now the New Year is going to start with his name being dragged through the mud all over again.”
But what makes Ferguson’s appearance even more complicated is that she also had ties to Epstein after falling into debt. The Daily Mail shared resurfaced documents that show a tangled web of finances between Prince Andrew, Fergie, and Epstein, and how the convicted pedophile somehow managed to wipe her $5.5 million worth of debts clean by 2011. While her presence may have been a welcome sight for spectators who joined the royal family on Christmas, the paper trail to Epstein with Andrew and his ex-wife is something King Charles shouldn’t mess with.
