Prince William hands are tied: Here’s why he can’t make a move against Sarah Ferguson

There are a number of reasons why the Royal Family appears to be twiddling their thumbs over Sarah Ferguson but an insider has finally come out with the real reason, and its much more subtle and layered than one may think.

For those still unversed however, the issue with Fergie remains because of her close and decades-long relationship with the Firm. In the eyes of many she carries a plethora of royal secrets, and just recently rumors swirled that she’s been looking for a royal pension, and has kept out of the public eye for her payday, despite offers for memoirs seemingly stacking.

According to a source well versed with the Royal Family “there is a recognition that Sarah's experiences make her a uniquely informed figure.”

Another thing is that “few people have spent as much time around senior royals over such a long period, so naturally there is interest in what she might choose to say publicly in the future.”

The same source even told RadarOnline, “some believe maintaining a constructive relationship with her is the most sensible course because it reduces the likelihood of unnecessary conflict. They see dialogue as a practical way of avoiding situations that could become damaging for everyone involved.”

A separate insider has the opposite view though, they claim the former may inadvertently create more issues than the latter because, as they put it “others take the view that the monarchy needs to draw a firm line. They believe former members of the institution should not continue to receive special consideration simply because they possess knowledge of private events or family dynamics."

All in all, the disagreement is “not really about Sarah personally,” as they pointed out. “It is about what precedent should be set and how the royal family should balance loyalty, reputation, and accountability in the years ahead.”
