Sarah Ferguson<\/a> reportedly left her loved ones feeling “embarrassed” as she is said to have relied on Princess Beatrice<\/a>‘s credit card for her lavish spending sprees. The 66-year-old, who has seen her reputation left in tatters this year over her connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been described as “chaotic” by a former employee in royal author Andrew Lownie’s in updated version of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.<\/p>\n

Sarah’s employees would even be asked to cover expenses due to delayed payments. One passage from the updated book read: “The assistant and other staff members had problems getting paid and often had to buy things using their own credit cards.<\/p>\n

“Sarah herself drew on Beatrice’s credit card constantly and paid one psychic in cigarettes.”<\/p>\n

According to the updated version<\/a> of Entitled, Beatrice and Eugenie were “embarrassed” by their mother’s antics.<\/p>\n

A former royal aide told Mr Lownie that Beatrice, 37, and her younger sister Eugenie, 36, were \u201cvery much under the control of their mother but embarrassed by her behaviour”.<\/p>\n

The book further alleges that Sarah, also known as Fergie, “rarely paid for anything” and instead relied on wealthy friends for hospitality and security arrangements.<\/p>\n

Mr Lownie also recently spoke of the true state of Sarah’s relationship with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following her own previous claim that they were the “happiest divorced couple”.<\/p>\n

He also added that “although they did meet and speak on the phone, I don’t think there was much contact.”<\/p>\n

The former couple previously married in 1986, before separating in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Ferguson reportedly left her loved ones feeling “embarrassed” as she is said to have relied on Princess…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,62268,4639,14108],"class_list":["post-467970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-princess-beatrice","tag-royal-family","tag-sarah-ferguson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
