Whatever the rights or wrongs of Sarah's actions now, all of her financial worries are and always have been predicated on the miserable treatment she received from the Palace at the time of her divorce.
Hogwash.
She has made literally millions since that time. Millions - pounds or dollars - trading on Brand Sarah which was
entirely predicated on her former title. Since that title came from the Royal family - letting her keep it in any form was a pretty hefty financial gain; the Queen, as the font of all such, could very easily have stripped her even of the style normally accorded to the divorced wife of a peer. Having been a Royal duchess - and retaining the style of 'Duchess of York' - was a very lucrative outcome for her. Who would buy anything from a mere Sarah Ferguson? But Duchess of York - that sells: and sell
that, over and over and over again, Sarah did.
Restated very simply: remaining (or retaining) "Duchess of York" was a financial bonanza for the former Sarah Ferguson, that paid dividends for decades.
That was her settlement.
So her financial worries are not because of what she didn't get - it's because of what she
spent. And
spent. "All" of her woes due to that settlement? Hogwash. Pure hogwash. Millions have passed through her hands, into an endless void.
So now she scrapes not even the bottom of the barrel, but down into the bottom wood of the vessel itself.
Oh, Andrew's right there in it; I'm not excusing him for any of this. He was up to his now-jowly neck in all of this and every step of the way for the past twenty-odd years.
Hell, I even have one of her books, when I was going through Weight Watchers. I paid retail, so I supported her.
Now? I can't even find a solution for her as I attempted to do under the Cash for Access.
Seriously - I wonder what the Duke of E has to say about all of this.
