Sarah Ferguson was never asked to 'join' Andrew on his travels

Sarah Ferguson was a lonely soul during her marriage with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

The former Duchess of York, who finally divorced Andrew back in 1990s, spent most of her marital life alone and neglected.

Dame Jenni Murray, who interviewed Fergie back in 1989, told Saga Magazine: "I was shown into the sitting room of a flat on the third floor of the palace, looking out at Queen Victoria's statue.

"A young woman, wearing a pinny, her hair tucked into a mob cap came in, I thought she was a maid, it was Sarah."

At the time, Andrew was serving at the British navy. The couple eventually split in 1996.

She further wrote: "It became apparent quickly that I was talking to a lonely, deeply unhappy woman who made no secret – privately, but not on tape – of her concerns about her husband."

"She was never asked to join his travels," Jenni wrote. "She was alone with the child and always wondered what he was up to and with whom."

The 66-year-old has allegedly been approached to share her stories in books, sparking fears of inflaming tensions within the royal family and her closest loved ones, like Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Some royal commentators and aides have warned her against worsening the situation with any unwise decision.

She has maintained a low public profile since she and her ex-husband were stripped of their royal titles in October by King Charles after it emerged she once emailed the serial abuser in 2011.

Sarah is now making headlines about her future move to secure her finances and keep the luxe life on track.

She's allegedly thinking to pick up a six or even seven-figure deal in the new year to write her autobiography as she now needs the money more than ever.

A royal insider has told RadarOnline: "The concern isn't only about public reaction – it's the effect on her family ties."

They added: "A book could stir up past conflicts and spark fresh tensions, especially with her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Their bond is still hugely strong, and anything that strains it could have consequences across the wider royal family."
