“He is not her cup of tea.” What does Charles III really think of his ex-sister Sarah Ferguson?

Since the death of Elizabeth II in 2022, speculation has been swirling about the possible return of Sarah Ferguson to the closed circle of the monarchy. On September 26, writer Craig Brown denied these rumors during an interview Sky News . Royal expert, author of the work A trip around the Queenassured that King Charles III really does not have his former sister in his heart. Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife and mother to his two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, has actually remained very close to the latter and still attends official events to this day. King Charles III would not have left him in his heart, said Craig Brown. “She’s not his cup of tea.”

According to him, Sarah Ferguson would occupy an extremely important place in the royal family, although she is the mother of the king’s nieces, and the king would not want her to monopolize more privileges. Note that Ferguson inherited the late Queen Elizabeth’s corgis, Muick and Sandy, which she shares with her ex-husband Prince Andrew. Craig Brown explains that the former sovereign’s use of animals to boost her popularity is not viewed well.

Persona non grata
