Sarah Ferguson ‘says no to interview’ on show that triggered Andrew’s downfall | Royal | News

Sarah Ferguson was reportedly offered the opportunity to participate in tell-all interviews but turned the offer down. One of these is believed to be the chance to be interviewed by the BBC’s Newsnight programme, which aired Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s infamous interview in 2019.

This was widely considered a public relations disaster. Andrew sat down with Newsnight correspondent Emily Maitlis for an explosive chat. It has since been described as one of the worst PR attempts in history for trying to save public opinion about her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Both Fergie and Andrew deny any wrongdoing regarding Epstein.

In a one-on-one encounter, the former prince did not apologize, calling Epstein’s behavior “unbecoming.”

He also famously claimed that he couldn’t sweat because he had a medical condition.

The interview was the beginning of Andrew’s major decline in the eyes of the British public; this is thought to lead to public outcry and eventual collapse.

Fergie has reportedly been approached to give her side of the story – but sources say she’s taking time to “think” while holed up in a pine-lined chalet in Austria that costs £2,000 a night. Daily Mail.

The former duchess was seen leaving the back of a black Mercedes people carrier with tinted windows for the first time in months earlier this week.

Her last official outing was seven months ago with Andrew at the funeral of the Duchess of Kent.

A source confirmed to The Sun there has been increased media interest, but Fergie is yet to accept any offers.

They said: “He has had a number of offers, including Newsnight, but he spends his time thinking and has no intention of talking.”

The former duchess also fell from grace and endured removal from the Royal Lodge along with Andrew.

Fergie and Andrew face constant pressure from US lawmakers to come forward and testify about her and Andrew’s relationship with Epstein.
