Former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson is ‘still sitting on a gold mine' but she is reluctant to take the opportunity due to the future of her daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie.

This has been claimed by royal expert and presenter Mark Dolan while appearing on The Royals Uncensored show.

The royal expert said about Sarah: "She's still sitting on a gold mine, and that would be the tell-all book or the Netflix documentary series."

However, another royal expert and former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles, between 2004 and 2011, added Sarah's hesitation may come from the effect any tell-all could have on her daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.

Harrold said: "I think that relationship with her daughters, and her daughters are obviously still members of the Royal Family and involved with the King, that's in the back of her mind."

"Even though she might think about doing these books and everything, I personally think she won't go that far because of her relationship with her daughters, and the King."

The Hollywood insider, however, warned: "The risk is not the money, it is the fallout. A documentary can bring a big cheque, but it can also lock in old resentments and make future family contact far harder."

The royal experts remarks came amid reports Sarah is 'begging’ Beatrice and Eugenie for help after her eviction from Royal Lodge.
