Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson has grown increasingly resentful of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor as the fallout from their ties to Jeffrey Epstein continues — and now, a source tells the National Examiner that she’s moving full steam ahead with exposing her ex-husband’s dirty secrets in a scathing tell-all.
“The only way she’s ever going to clear her name is to be honest about what really went on and stop shielding Andrew,” shares the source. “Sarah’s been holding back out of loyalty, but she’s saying that she’s finally ready to do it.”
Though the National Examiner previously reported that Fergie was putting the book deal on pause at the urging of the duo’s daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, things have changed in light of recently released emails that appear to show the former couple — who had publicly distanced themselves from the late convicted pedophile — quietly maintained close relationships with Epstein.
“The more Fergie looks back at the way everything went down, the angrier she gets,” spills the source. “She trusted Andrew, and now she’s paying the price for it. The only way to save her skin seems to be by totally coming clean and telling her side of the story.”

In messages dated after the financier’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution, the redhead allegedly even referred to her disgraced pal as “a legend” and “the brother I have always wished for,” Peoplereported.
Epstein died in a New York City jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.
His royal buddies, Fergie, 66, and Andrew, 65, have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing of their own.
Still, the duo were stripped of their duke and duchess titles in 2025 and evicted from the crown-owned home they’ve lived in together since 2008 despite their 1996 divorce.
On Tuesday, February 3, People also revealed that Ferguson’s charity, Sarah’s Trust, was being shuttered after she’d previously been dropped as patron of multiple other organizations.
Meanwhile, The Guardian reported last year that the children’s book author’s planned October release, Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way, was delayed and then axed completely.

“For years, Sarah has looked foolish standing by Andrew, but now it’s taken on a much darker tone and it’s truly destroying her life,” says the source. “Everyone is telling Sarah she’s only hurting herself by continuing to protect him.”
In her posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, Epstein sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre repeated claims that Andrew had sex with her when she was a minor.
The ex-prince, who has vehemently denied the accusations, settled a civil suit brought by Giuffre in February 2022.
