- Fergie has no source of income because all businesses have closed down
- Surprising US offer could be last chance to redeem itself
- Former Duchess remains in exile after Andrew’s February arrest
Sarah Ferguson is reportedly plotting to redeem herself as the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie suffers financial difficulties and reportedly has no place of her own.
The former Duchess of York was ousted from the royal fold following the Epstein scandal and since then she has been in exile, virtually disappearing from public view.
In an unexpected turn of events, Fergie has a surprising offer on hand, one that could possibly help her overcome her financial and reputational damage, according to New York crisis PR strategist Mitchell Jackson.
The crisis manager said The Sun that Fergie, who is expected to appear as a villain in the Traitors series, could actually save her career.
“With public relations, you work backwards from the goal,” he explained. “What she needs now is a lifeline, financially and reputationally, and the only lifeline I see is The traitors. It’s the only lifeline.
The American reality show is hosted by Alan Cumming and sees contestants as “loyalists” and “traitors” as they compete to complete secret in-game missions.
“The goal is no longer to restore his reputation, but to play the bad guy,” Mitchell explained. “PR is poker and she was dealt the bad guy’s card. She can’t play any other. She should do it for free. It’s her only option.”
He continued: “The problem for her now is that this is actually an American scandal, because it’s an American scandal, she can’t just get on a plane and fly over here like she usually does.”
Fergie has been barred from all of her charities, all of her businesses have closed and she has been firmly ousted from the royal fold, although her two daughters keep their distance.
There had been discussions about how she might write a tell-all book exposing the royal family, but this has not been officially confirmed. However, if Fergie appears on the show, she could achieve her goal much faster than writing a book.
