I'm not a royal watcher but Harry & Meghan's trashy reality TV lifestyles have got me reading about the royal family this week. Anyway, I found out that although Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson divorced Prince Pedo in 1992, she's been living with him in his historic mansion all these years. They still have tea together and claim they are...a happy divorced couple living under the same roof. OKAY.
So I found her Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sarahferguson15) and she reviews Mills & Boon books, which is kind of hilarious. And she's been writing historical romance novels, where a lady gets romanced by a nobleman. I'm just imagining Fergie lobbing one of the Mills & Boon books at her ex-husband and saying, "Shall we give it another go?" Like, how does she read these scenes and not cackle, knowing how her life turned out? Anyone read her published romances? Anyway, other than the weird Mills & Boon thing, she seems like a calm and polite 61-year old lady. Gives refugees a platform, lives quietly, doesn't behave like Markle. So that's nice. |
I don’t read romance novels but I have always liked Fergie. She was raked through the coals by the media in her youth and her always remained vivacious and relatively spontaneous. Her former husband is appalling but at least he had good taste in marrying larger than life, big- hearted Fergie even though she was not a typical noblewoman . |
| Looking at her, knowing she was a contemporary of Diana (didn't they get divorced around the same time), I can't help but wonder what Diana would be using her Instagram, Twitter, etc for. |
| I read her memoir years and years ago and it really struck me how difficult life as a royal is. Tremendous pressure and scrutiny and no outlet. It wrecked her and she did much better after the divorce. I've always liked her. |

She's been writing for decades. Her current contract is with William Morrow, which is an imprint of HarperCollins. These latest books are more historical fiction than romance.

| She seems like a nice person with a sense of humor, she was super close with the Queen. I believe she is the one caring for the corgis now. |
| She always seems a bit unkempt and an emotional and financial mess, but very likable. Her daughters are very loyal and loving to her and have turned out well, which suggests that she's been a good mom. I'm glad she's found an occupation that she likes. |
| My view of her changed when I saw how her daughters act in public. They've openly mocked both Kate and Megan and were embarrassments at Megan's wedding. |
| I thought this thread was about Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. |
This is going to end up locked like all the others so I won't hold back: -Nice try at masking your obsession with hating Megan Markle behind a supposed interest in Sarah Ferguson. Byeeeee. |
How about we start the new year not bringing Harry and Meghan into other royal threads? |
| No one buys her books. |
When did they mock Kate and Meghan? And how were they embarrassments at the wedding? |
They are the ones who reach out to audiences most through several platforms and they are the ones media, entertainment folks and corporations are most interested in so people are bound to make comparisons no matter which British royal is being discussed. Just mentioning them gets labeled as fandom or haterdom on social forums. |
Fine with me, but I didn't bring them in. |
