It is reported that Sarah Ferguson has asked King Charles a lifetime of silence in return of a monthly pension.

Prince William, on the other hand, does not want to favour the ex Duchess of York.

Royal expert Andrew Lownie reveals: “That may be what Fergie's negotiating at the moment. Can she get a nice pension from them and not have to do an Oprah interview?”

An insider tells Closer Magazine: “It’s left everyone stunned; they can’t believe Charles is even considering this. William is fuming and saying Sarah will only see this as a green light to get lifelong handouts. Because that’s what this is, as far as William and a lot of other people are concerned.”

“William understands that Charles wants to protect them from more embarrassment, but he doesn’t believe that Sarah will stick to her word and he predicts endless demands after this.”

They add: “Charles hasn’t made any promises to Sarah but allowing her to skate away with no consequences and essentially give her a bail out, is going to be viewed very poorly by the public and William is desperately trying to steer his father away from letting the Yorks and their alleged behaviour further damage the monarchy and their family’s legacy.”
