Sarah Ferguson, former spouse of Prince Andrew, has reportedly demanded £45m ($62.5m) from Rupert Murdoch, claiming his now defunct newspaper News of the World wrecked a series of business opportunities for her when she was caught in a sting offering to sell access to Prince Andrew for £500,000. She claims to have lost out on a private equity deal and work on a film project that would have made her millions of pounds; and had planned to make millions working as a celebrity endorser and launching products under the name House of Ferguson, all of which vanished on her ‘international humiliation.’
Words fail me. Even for her, this is a head-twister too far. Such a case, if it isn’t laughed out of court early on, would turn into a media circus taking the spotlight away from a happy-Royal-weddings-year, with her own younger daughter Eugenie aiming up the aisle in the autumn, after Harry/Meghan. With the exception of her close family, she’s been all but exiled from Royal circles and this isn’t going to put her high on anyone’s invitation list.
Born 15 October 1959 9.03am (from memory) London, her impulsive Sun Mars in Libra is taking a rattling from tr Uranus opposition her Mars now, and tr Pluto starting the square to her Sun from March which will drag her through a trapped, frustrating several years ahead as it squares the Sun/Mars midpoint and then her Mars. On top of that, birth time being sound, her Solar Arc MC is conjunct her Neptune later this year with Solar Arc Pluto following along behind, which is devastating and confusing, certainly not a win. Plus tr Saturn is now moving through her belt-tightening 2nd house, so less successful, cash-strapped and probably psychologically on edge. As if that wasn’t enough, tr Saturn is moving to square her Aries Moon in the 5th, which may involve froideur with her one of her children, whom she tends to use as comfort blankets.
Even the long-suffering Andrew looks well-fed-up especially from mid year with tr Uranus square their composite Moon. Ditto her children, especially Eugenie, with increasing unease from both her daughters in 2019.
HM Queen looks disappointed and alarmed with her at the moment; with Prince Philip gearing up for a tussle. Camilla loathes her at the best of times as does Charles which never augured well for future inclusion. But now all bets will be off as they harden their stance, which may well exacerbate Charles’ always strained relationship with brother Andrew – this year looks like widening that rift for several years ahead.
Prince Harry looks out of sorts with her as does Meghan this year.
What would we do without our own Dynasty on the doorstep to keep us amused and distracted from dreary, inept politicians?
Believe it or not but £45 million is correct – US conversion should read $62 million.
Hi Marjorie,
I am guessing you meant to type £4.5m.
