Sarah Ferguson is clearing the air on viral speculation that she is working on a tell-all memoir following her return to England.
“There have been no discussions, and she is not writing a personal memoir,” a spokesperson for the former Duchess of York, 66, told Hello! in a Friday, September 25, statement. “It’s not what she’s going to do.”
The denial comes after The Sun reported on Thursday, September 24, that Ferguson allegedly received a seven-figure payday to author an autobiography about royal life, her past marriage to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and her history with late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Ferguson, who has written multiple children’s books and romance novels, has not further addressed the rumors. Us reached out for comment.
Ferguson has been lying low after the U.S. Department of Justice released emails in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act late last year, detailing the former duchess’ and her ex-husband’s past associations with Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting his sex trafficking trial.
“The duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago, and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims. Like many people, she was taken in by his lies,” Ferguson’s rep told the BBC in September 2025. “As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with pedophilia.”
Amid fallout from the scandal, Ferguson reportedly checked into a luxury wellness clinic in Switzerland in January. She returned to the U.K. last month, though it’s unclear how long she stayed at the retreat.
Interest in a book written by Ferguson comes shortly after the late Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, recalled her 1997 tragic death at age 36 in Swan Song. His memoir, published Tuesday, September 22, claimed that King Charles III appeared “giddily elated” while discussing his ex-wife’s death.
“Everyone inside the palace is completely beside themselves that Diana’s brother would publish such lies,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this week, alleging that the monarch, 77, was “devastated” by the book accusations. “He doesn’t recognize the person Charles Spencer is portraying.”
Spencer, 62, has repeatedly defended his anecdote, asserting in a recent BBC interview, “I’m telling the truth.”
