FERGIE'S FURY OVER BOOK!

A JUICY NEW TOME IS UNDOING ALL HER HARD WORK

- 

Sarah Ferguson is certainly no stranger to a controversy or two, but the publication of a new book (which dredges up allegations from her past) has left the Duchess of York reeling.

Pitched as a deep dive into Fergie's disgraced ex-husband, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and the life they once shared, Andrew Lownie's Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York has been making headlines for its explosive claims about the couple. Along with alleging that Andrew had many extramarital affairs, Lownie makes the bold claim that Fergie once set out to romance Tiger Woods!

“Of course Sarah is crushed at how this is going to affect her standing with the royals,” an insider tells New Idea. “She's been working so hard to get back in their good graces and there's no doubt any sympathy they may have had before will be severely damaged by this book.”

As the self-billed “happiest divorced couple”, Fergie and Andrew, both 65, have stuck by each other against all odds. The duchess has remained living with her ex-husband at Royal Lodge even in the face of his public downfall. But now that they are dealing with a book that claims to be a “tell-all” about their past, Fergie is concerned about how their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, will handle yet more scrutiny and backlash around the York name. The sisters are also trying their best to prove they'd make valuable working royals.

“As much as it pains Sarah to be back in the royal doghouse, she's more worried about Bea and Eugenie,” the source says. “It's not fair that they be bundled up into her and Andrew's mistakes.”
