Despite the gruelling schedule, Fergie added that her daughters, Princess Eugene and Princess Beatrice are “hugely supportive”, while her ex-husband Prince Andrew thinks of her books as “fabulous.”

The Duchess of York, 63, debuted her first historical novel published by Mills & Boon in the August of 2021, when the publisher released Her Heart for a Compass.

Before she was pitching for her novels as TV shows, this would not be the first time Fergie worked for the small screen. In 2009, the Duchess was one of the producers of the Academy Award-nominated The Young Victoria.

She has also fronted documentaries including The Duchess on the Estate and The Duchess in Hull, and is said to be keen on making more.

“One thing I would like to do is front a documentary about the challenges facing the environment,” she said at the time. “I feel very strongly that my generation bears a heavy responsibility to address issues like climate change and plastic in the oceans so that our children and grandchildren inherit a sustainable planet.”
