A former employee of the Royal Family has suggested that they may know of the true repercussions should Sarah Ferguson deliver a bombshell tell-all interview.
After the public banishment of her former husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, there has been a great deal of discussion about what lies ahead for Sarah.
Ever since Andrew was stripped of his titles amid ongoing controversy surrounding his connections with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, questions have emerged about the couple’s future plans.
One potential scenario involves the former Duchess of York sitting down for a candid interview that could potentially expose senior Royal Family members.
Discussing this prospect, Ailsa Anderson, who previously served as press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II, cautioned it might prove damaging to the Royal Family, reports the Express.

On the Sun’s Royal podcast, when asked what advice she would offer if news emerged of Sarah planning an interview, Ailsa revealed: “Firstly, doom and gloom. You’d have to see what she’s going to say.
“I think never do a knee jerk reaction, don’t be painted into a corner and then ask to do something immediately. You see what she says, analyse it.
“What you don’t want to do is add fuel to the flames of anything that she has said and prolong a story so I think it would very much be dependent on what she came up with, but it wouldn’t be good news.
“And it distracts from all the good work the Royal Family are doing, you know we’ve got a state visit next week, what you don’t want is her blowing that out of the water by giving an interview.”
Ailsa isn’t the only royal expert to discuss the possibility of a tell-all interview.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has explored what tactics she might employ.
He told the Express: “If she is after a fast buck, she might well go back on Oprah or choose another outlet. This would give her publicity.
“In the past, she was able to make comebacks after she was hit by scandals and was admired for this, with charities deserting her after it was proved that she lied regarding her links with Epstein.”
Despite the possibility of a comeback, Richard suggested that the magnitude of this latest setback means it will be nearly impossible.
He explained: “This seems highly unlikely. It depends on what her priorities are, how much money she actually has and what her plans are. We will doubtless discover soon, she was a disaster as a working royal and is totally shameless.”
