Sarah did film a six part reality series called "Finding Sarah" that aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
She was needlessly exploited there. Some charlatan made her pull a sled across the tundra, a frozen very barren northern area of Canada or Alaska, then after she did it, told her it really wasn't necessary. Oprah's other associates made her cry on television, and manipulated her to make Eugenie and Beatrice cry on TV as well.
The only one who benefitted was Oprah. I can think of one young man who should have remembered that humiliating mini-series.
I think this was an interview she should have skipped. I found it cringeworthy.
A wide-ranging interview with Sarah Ferguson in the Telegraph today.

Sarah was interviewed by Camilla Tominey. Obviously the purpose is to promote her new book. Sarah dodges and weaves a bit when Camilla gets on the tough questions, but perhaps that's to be expected when the purpose is promoting a romance novel.
The accompanying photos are quite nice.
There is an excerpt from the forthcoming book. Here is one sentence from it: (I don't know how much can legally be copied)
"What she’d give to pull every pin from her rebellious red mop and let it tumble wild and loose down her back. At least then one part of her would be free."
Might anybody have access to the article? It is currently behind the paywall.
Though she once mulled suing him, she now won’t even celebrate the fall of Mazher Mahmood, the News of the World journalist who engineered that 2010 gotcha (and later spent 15 months in jail on unrelated charges). “One day I got up and thought, Mandela forgave his persecutors; surely I can forgive and move forward,” she says.
Interesting interview and it gives some more personal trivia (she loves Bridgerton, The Bold Type and Riverdale).
Her next book is going to be more of an explicit bodice ripper.
She actually offered to be a consultant for the Crown and the potential Fergie "character" but was declined.
I don't think this was a wise sentence even though she didn't mean it badly:
Being conned by a journalist pretending to be a fake sheik isn't in the slightest but like what Nelson Mandela went though and the comparison inevitably ends up absurd and insulting.
Once again she looks great in all the photos.
What does surprise me is that both Beatrice and Eugenie also seem consistently mature and clear headed, much more so than either of their parents.
The fact that she and Andrew raised two daughters who are fun loving and friendly isn’t surprising to me. What does surprise me is that both Beatrice and Eugenie also seem consistently mature and clear headed, much more so than either of their parents.
I didn’t get the sense she was trying to compare her difficulties with Mandela’s suffering. I thought she was saying that, if someone like Nelson Mandela can move forward despite an enormous amount of pain and suffering, then someone in her own position, with trials that are trivial in comparison, should be able to do the same.
Sarah is all over the place. Sometimes she seems to be one of the most sensible and humble members of the extended family, sometimes she’s a mess.

Sarah, to me, is just one of those totally spontaneous kinds of people that sometimes doesn't think before talking. One thing I've never gotten from Sarah though is that she ever did anything or said anything to cause harm to someone else. She has a huge heart.
