Sarah Ferguson could be giving Buckingham Palace another headache after revealing she saw herself writing a new memoir.
The 63-year-old Duchess of York has already written two memoirs of her own: My Story, published in 1996, just months after her divorce from Prince Andrew was finalized, and Finding Sarah in 2011, after another period of financial woes.
But now, after the fallout from Prince Harry’s bombshell autobiography Spare in January, Fergie may finally be adding fuel to the fire.
In an interview with the website Royal Central to announce her new historical fiction book, Sarah was asked if she could imagine writing another memoir one day. She replied, “Yes, I do. Watch this room.’
During a media roundup for A Most Intriguing Lady, she also revealed that she was happy that her writing career had taken off, which earned her another claim to fame in addition to her marriage to the royal family.
Sarah Ferguson (pictured in London on April 1, promoting her latest book) has said it’s ‘liberating’ to build a career outside the royal family in her sixties
A source told the Daily Mail that Fergie has “constantly” new offers to write a new memoir and “will seriously consider them, although nothing has been decided yet.”
“It’s really an idea at this stage,” they added. “She wouldn’t do anything to embarrass the family.”
Sarah has recently experienced something of a renaissance, having been invited to join King Charles and other senior royals at Sandringham for Christmas, as well as looking after the late Queen’s corgis.
Rumor has it that Andrew is also considering printing his own side of recent events – although sources close to the disgraced king have denied this.

Elsewhere, the Duchess praised the “liberating” feeling of embarking on a successful career in her 60s.
Speaking about her writing during an interview with OK! magazine, the royal said her new career meant that marrying the Firm was no longer her “only claim to fame.”
She said: ‘I am very proud to have started a new career at the age of sixty.
“Not many people get that chance. Now being married into the royal family isn’t my only claim to fame, I’m an author who made the Sunday Times Best Sellers List.
“It feels like this is my time. It’s very liberating.’
The mother-of-two, who still lives with ex-husband Prince Andrew at their Royal Lodge Home in Windsor, has also written books for children and hosted a YouTube program for young people.
Sarah has recently put on a slew of gigs to promote her new novel, and in a recent interview, she opened up about the corgis (pictured) she adopted from the late Queen after her death last September
Sarah’s interview with OK follows other appearances to promote her latest novel, including an appearance on Rylan Clark’s Radio 2 show over the weekend.
During a conversation with the host, she talked about the two corgis she adopted from the late queen.
The dogs, Muick and Sandy, moved to Royal Lodge after the monarch’s death last September.
And according to Sarah, the two corgis are doing “really well” with the adjustment.
She said, “They’re great, they’re very happy, and their tails are up now, so I think they’re over their grief.”
Describing the corgis, which were a gift to the Queen from Andrew and his daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, the royal family said they are “so sweet.”
She added, “I think they were trained by her [the Queen] for being so gentle.
“If you take a little digestive biscuit and break it like she used to do with her little hands … she must have put a little biccie in front of it, and they take it gently.”
Speak at the recent Henley Literary Festival last October, the royal family described taking care of the animals as a “great honour,” according to the Telegraph.
She added that Muick and Sandy are “national treasures,” noting that they are well-educated, describing them as “well-taught.”
The dogs were a gift to the Queen from Andrew and his daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
It was believed that the couple had walked the dogs in the months leading up to the Queen’s death.
The late Queen owned more than 30 of the gritty, short-legged dogs during her reign, but had resisted adopting new dogs in recent years and did not want to leave the dogs behind after her death.
She received her first corgi, named Susan, from her late father, King George VI, for her 18th birthday. Ten generations of her corgis are then descended from Susan.
Her dogs got the royal treatment, with their own rooms with raised wicker baskets and meals of beef, chick, rabbit, liver, cabbage and rice prepared each evening by a chef.
Sometimes the queen herself made the dog meals. But her late husband is said to have “detested” the yapping of the dogs.
Muick, pronounced Mick, joined the royal family in early 2021 along with a so-called ‘dorgi’, a cross between a corgi and a dachshund, named Fergus.
Muick was named after Loch Muick on the Balmoral estate, where the Queen died on Thursday. Fergus was named after the Monarch’s uncle who was killed fighting in World War I.
Fergus died after just five months and was later replaced by a new corgi named Sandy, as a 95th birthday present for Prince Andrew and his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie
Angela Kelly, the Queen’s dresser, said at the time of the arrival of the new corgi: ‘I was afraid they would get under the Queen’s feet, but they have been a godsend.
“They are beautiful and very nice and the Queen often takes them for long walks in Home Park.”
