Royal Author: Diana Feared Fergie Leaking Stories

A royal author has detailed the complex friendship between Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, suggesting their bond ultimately fractured due to Ferguson's 1996 autobiography, 'My Story'. The book's inclusion of a minor detail about borrowing shoes and a shared verruca allegedly led to a breakdown in trust.

According to the author, Princess Diana harbored concerns that Ferguson might be selling private information about her. This fear led to a permanent rift, despite Ferguson's attempts to downplay it.

Both women reportedly confided in each other about feeling stifled by royal family life. Diana confided in Ferguson every Sunday, sharing frustrations about their restricted lives. However, Diana also worried Ferguson's more exuberant personality could negatively impact her own public image.

Furthermore, the author claims Diana employed a strategic approach to her divorce from Prince Charles. She allegedly advised Ferguson to divorce Prince Andrew first, seemingly to observe how the royal family would handle the situation, before proceeding with her own separation.

Ferguson and Prince Andrew divorced in 1992, though they continued to live together. Princess Diana and Prince Charles separated in the same year and finalized their divorce in 1996, a year before her tragic death in 1997.
