Ferguson \u2014 who once claimed that Queen Elizabeth<\/a> was communicating with her from beyond the grave via her dogs \u2014 would be filmed on her cloning journey, as they say, for a reality TV show. The idea was discussed at various lunches and dinners in LA and got as far as a synopsis written up by producers at Halcyon Studios and reproduced by the Mail on Sunday in full<\/a>. You may like to read it through your fingers.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is bequeathed two of the Queen\u2019s beloved corgis, she decides to embark on a bold and controversial business venture \u2014 cloning the royal pups. But as she navigates the complex world of genetics and royal protocol, Sarah must also grapple with her own personal demons and strained relationship with the royal family<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cFergie was thrilled to learn that she had been remembered in the Queen\u2019s will but surprised to learn that rather than jewellery or money, the Queen left her two of her beloved corgis. At 63, Fergie finds herself like so many other people facing a dramatic change in economic outlook later in life \u2014 needing to make money!\u201d<\/p>\n Ferguson\u2019s income, the producers add, has been \u201cdramatically impacted\u201d by King Charles cutting his brother Andrew\u2019s allowance<\/a> but the solution, she evidently told them, was to set up a company called The Queen\u2019s Corgis. The company would clone them and sell them to other dog lovers around the world, the synopsis continues. \u201cBut as she dives deeper into the world of genetics and cloning, Fergie realises that her business venture is not without controversy\u2026 As the series unfolds, viewers will be taken on a journey through the fascinating world of genetics and cloning as well as the inner workings of the royal family. They will witness the highs and lows of Fergie\u2019s business venture, and see how her determination and resilience are put to the test. But ultimately, they will be left with a sense of hope and wonder as they witness the incredible bond between humans and animals and the enduring legacy of the Queen\u2019s beloved corgis.\u201d<\/p>\n To be fair to Ferguson, in a life devoted to making the mind boggle, she\u2019s clearly saved the best till what the Palace can only pray is last. If \u201chope and wonder\u201d are what courtiers feel about her cashing in on the late Queen, then hopefully they will share it. Perhaps even now they are marvelling that the woman who came bottom of the class at typing school planned to try her hand at gene editing. Or that she evidently thought she was in with a chance for some cash in the late Queen\u2019s will, or perhaps a passing tiara. No doubt she promised producers a few reminiscences about Princess Diana, and some fond reflections on her dear friend King Charles, and Bob\u2019s your uncle: that\u2019ll be a fat fee for Fergie and \u00a375,000 a pop for the dogs, of which she\u2019ll need quite a few. <\/p>\n Seventy-five grand won\u2019t go far in Fergie World, it may even only get you a slap-up birthday party. Even Hollywood producers, who have surely seen it all before, thought the idea was a \u201cbold and controversial business venture\u201d, although the Palace might phrase it rather differently.<\/p>\n \u201cBizarre as it sounds,\u201d the TV executive told the Mail, \u201cthe idea of cloning was discussed.\u201d Just as King Charles was being crowned in London \u2014 an occasion she announced she wouldn\u2019t be going to because as a royal divorcee \u201cyou\u2019re either in or out\u201d \u2014 she landed in LA with a sign saying \u201cI used to be royal, pay me!\u201d <\/p>\n Meanwhile in Surrey it\u2019s been revealed that Prince Edward, who pays a peppercorn rent on his vast mansion, rents out his converted stables for up to \u00a3130,000 a year, money which some MPs argue should go to the taxpayer. And over in Florida, Edo Mapelli Mozzi<\/a>, is uncharacteristically busy promoting himself and his company on Instagram, with curiously little mention of his wife, Princess Beatrice. It seems safe to assume that whatever he chats to Palm Beach housewives about over cocktails and canapes, it isn\u2019t life with the in-laws. <\/p>\n A spokesman for Ferguson said that she declined the offer. So in the end the corgi cloning project was abandoned. No doubt one day we\u2019ll discover why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If your favourite paedophile financier has cashed in his chips for the last time and sponging your way…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-173172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Two](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/70328b89-096d-4b67-be04-d9e6223a292c.jpg\")
