Sarah's latest book has been withdrawn from sale.
Thank you for the update.
Here is some earlier reporting about the effects of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal on Sarah Ferguson.
On November 6, from Richard Palmer of the i Paper:
‘“She’s been cut adrift,” a friend of Ferguson said. “I’m trying to keep her spirits up but when I spoke to her, she seemed very lonely and isolated.”
Her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and ex-husband have remained loyal, the longtime friend insisted. […]
Another friend, the socialite and party planner Liz Brewer, said Ferguson had always been a “very personable person” but asked if she was welcome at high society gatherings at the moment, she replied: “No.”
Brewer added: “People, unfortunately, are not brave enough to make their own minds up. She’s in a very difficult position.”
Ferguson has since been dropped by the charities that gave her ambassadorships and shunned by the media companies that once capitalised on her royal presence.
ITV sources say she will no longer be welcome as a guest contributor on its daytime shows, This Morning and Loose Women.
[…]
Ferguson could negotiate a million-dollar fee for a new revelatory interview, which would resonate around the world. A poison pen memoir, dishing the dirt on the royal family who cast her out, could fetch up to £5m.
But friends say Ferguson is unlikely to say anything that would embarrass her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, and damage their still-friendly relationship with members of the Royal Family, including the Prince of Wales.
The i Paper understands that Ferguson will instead lie low for a while [...]
It is understood that her focus will now be on her own charity, the SF Trust, which has removed all references to the Duchess of York from its website.”

On October 31, from BBC culture reporter Noor Nanji:
‘But in September, several charities dropped her as patron or ambassador after the emergence of an email from 2011 in which she called Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.
The only charity she is still linked with is her own foundation, Sarah's Trust.
It used to have a "duchess collection" - a range of products including tea and biscuit sets to raise funds for the charity - but the website for that is no longer active.
Its causes include supporting vulnerable communities, including "forgotten women" globally.
BBC News has made multiple attempts to contact the charity to ask if such a cause is appropriate given Ms Ferguson's ties to Epstein. But the phone number listed is not recognised, and emails bounced back.
We raised this with the Charity Commission, who said one of its team has been in touch with the charity reminding it to keep their contact details up to date.
[…]
Ms Ferguson's other publishers have remained tight-lipped when asked whether they plan to sever links with her.
Harper Collins, which has published two of her titles, the most recent being A Most Intriguing Lady which came out in 2023, declined to comment but pointed to the fact that both her books remain in print and available.
"Publishers don't tend to drop authors, they just quietly don't renew contracts," said Neill Denny, editor of the book trade news website Book Brunch.’
The scandal engulfing Andrew is of his own making but has had a profound impact on his immediate family.
