Sarah Ferguson’s ‘Whirlwind Affair’ claims resurface after title was removed
When things couldn’t get any worse for Sarah Ferguson, allegations that she had a love affair while pregnant with one of Prince Andrew’s former daughters are causing a stir. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Ferguson, 66, was recently stripped of the title of Duchess of York and evicted from the home she shared with the disgraced ex-prince, 65.
Now the details of a whirlwind romance with a Texas magnate haunt her.
Ferguson and Andrew married in a grand royal wedding in 1999. Two years later, they welcomed their first daughter, Princess Beatrice, 37.
By the time the scandalous royal was expecting their second daughter, Princess Eugenie, 34, ‘Fergie’ as she has become known, was in love with another man.
Author David Leigh claimed in his 1996 book: Duchess of York: Uncensoredco-written with Vasso Kortesis, the former Duchess met Texan millionaire businessman Steve Wyatt at the British Opera Festival at Houston Grand Opera in 1989.
“Steve Wyatt was the main reason her marriage failed,” Leigh claimed about how Ferguson and Wyatt fell in love.
“She met him at a time in her life when she was exceptionally down and felt like Andrew was not supporting her. She went to Texas and met a very handsome and wealthy Texan who was very thoughtful and loving, and they quickly fell in love,” Leigh claimed.
“Andrew may have been her best friend, and probably still is, and probably always will be, but Steve Wyatt was the love of her life,” he wrote.
The author also claimed that Ferguson introduced Wyatt to Beatrice.
In January 1992, photos of Wyatt and the young princess surfaced, causing public outrage. Two months later, Ferguson and Andrew decided to split.
Ferguson sparked another palace crisis when she was infamously photographed having her toes sucked by one of Wyatt’s close friends, John Bryan, while on vacation in St. Tropez, France, in August 1992.
The children’s book author still pined for Wyatt, but he got engaged to Cate Magennis in 1993, dashing hopes for a future with Fergie.
‘I can’t have the man I love because he’s getting married. What’s wrong with me? Why didn’t he marry me?’ she was reportedly crying to a friend at the time.
Ferguson and Andrew eventually divorced in 1996, although they remained close friends.
The My story The author told TV host Ernie Manouse in 2010 why her marriage to Andrew failed, but has never spoken publicly about her love affair with Wyatt.
“My deal was that I would marry my husband, who happened to be a prince and a naval officer. But what I got was not the man; I got the palace and I didn’t get him. Before our marriage, I saw him 40 days a year,” Ferguson revealed.
Andrew and Ferguson remained so close that she moved into the Royal Lodge with him in 2008, five years after he initially paid $1 million for the 30-room mansion in Great Windsor Park.
She also walked in on his friends’ set, which, unfortunately for Ferguson, included vile pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Their continued poor judgment in the 2010s and early 2010s about the sexual predator cost them their royal titles and associations after new allegations from Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre emerged in her posthumous memoir: Nobody’s girl.
Since their eviction, the duo have been living apart, with Andrew banished to a house on the Sandringham estate.
It is unclear where Ferguson currently resides.
