Tycoon Paddy McNally's Funeral: Princess Beatrice Steps In For Mother
15 Aug
Summary
- Princess Beatrice attended Paddy McNally's funeral service.
- McNally, ex-boyfriend of Sarah Ferguson, passed away at 88.
- A wider memorial service is planned for later this year.
Princess Beatrice recently attended the funeral service for Paddy McNally, a former boyfriend of her mother, Sarah Ferguson. The service took place on Friday at St James's Church in Sevenhampton, Swindon. Beatrice was observed in the congregation, appearing to represent her mother, who has maintained a close friendship with McNally since their relationship in the 1980s.
Paddy McNally, a significant tycoon with a background in racing, passed away at the age of 88. Reports suggest he owned substantial property, including chalets in Verbier, Switzerland. He had remained a supportive figure for Sarah Ferguson, reportedly offering her refuge at his Swiss chalet.
While there are suggestions Sarah Ferguson might inherit part of McNally's estimated £600 million fortune, some believe it will be directed to charitable causes. McNally previously sold his business for £262 million in 2006. A larger memorial service is scheduled to take place later this year in London.
