It comes as Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer’s bombshell new book made headlines for several unflattering allegations about other royals, as well as King Charles. Swan Song: Diana, My Sister – included claims that Charles said “we’ll forget her soon enough” after she died – which has prompted a war of words between him and Buckingham Palace.

In the memoir, Earl Spencer also wrote that he had been "dreadfully hurt" by the "petty and vindictive" removal of her HRH title and that despite the Queen's "well-meaning" gesture, he decided to reject what he described as a "consolation prize."

He wrote: "I felt that I knew in my bones how she would view this posthumous award. That's very kind of the Queen, of course. But what's the point, Robert? Now? I mean – Diana's dead."

Buckingham Palace’s responsed to the claims by saying: “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”

Now, despite the astounding claims, Spencer has insisted that his book is simply a telling of the truth, and was not destined to be a ‘hit piece’ against the monarch or the Royal Family.

Speaking on the Lorraine show he said: "This book is a celebration of an extraordinary woman from a brother’s point of view. And as a brother, I have every right to write about my sister. But I would like to explain that I was not setting out to do a hit piece on the King at all. The comments [from Charles] that I’ve included in the book are totally in context.”

Now, sources have told The Sun Sarah Ferguson is “days away” from making a deal regarding her auto-biography. They say a chapter-by-chapter synopsis has already been written with detailed notes on “key subjects” which reportedly may include her thoughts on ex Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein, the King, Harry and Meghan.

Insiders insist Fergie is “on a mission” to rescue her reputation. One source said: “Sarah wants to set the record straight about everything and earn some money to resolve her financial issues. There has been a secret bidding war and a deal is close to being secured.

“The notes are compelling and the bidders are excited. Fergie is ever the optimist and believes she can be forgiven and welcomed back.”

Emails released by US officials, as part of the Epstein Files, revealed several emails between Fergie and Epstein and shed new light on their relationship. Ferguson has strongly denied all wrongdoing.

Sarah Ferguson has been contacted for comment.
