Royal writer Andrew Lownie<\/strong> defended his decision to share an allegation that Sarah Ferguson<\/strong> had a \u201cfriends with advantages\u201d relationship with disgraced mogul Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand by it,\u201d Lownie, 64, told London\u2019s The Times<\/em><\/a> on Saturday, May 9. \u201cIt\u2019s fully sourced with former employees of P Diddy and Sarah Ferguson.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lownie made the allegation about Ferguson and Diddy\u2019s alleged sexual relationship within the expanded edition of his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York<\/em>, the 2025 tell-all that kicked off a brand new round of controversy over Ferguson and her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/strong>\u2019s connections to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

On this latest paperback edition of Entitled<\/em>, Lownie alleged that Ferguson, 66, and Diddy, 58, met at a 2002 party thrown by Epstein\u2019s associate Ghislaine Maxwell<\/strong> and that they began a sexual relationship two years later. (Epstein died by suicide at age 66 in August 2019 after being arrested on federal sex crimes charges. Maxwell, 64, is serving a 20-year prison sentence following her 2022 conviction on sex trafficking-related offences.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSix firms directed by Sarah Ferguson are within the technique of being dissolved following fresh revelations about her past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Filings submitted this month to Firms House seek to shut down the U.K-registered businesses, including S. Phoenix Events Limited, Fergie\u2019s Farm, La Luna Investments, Solamoon Limited, Philanthrepreneur Limited and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A portion of Entitled<\/em> serialized in The Day by day Mail<\/em><\/a> claimed that Diddy bragged to colleagues about sleeping with Ferguson and allegedly once said \u201che couldn’t wait until Fergie\u2019s daughters come of age.\u201d (Ferguson and Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, share two daughters: Princess Beatrice<\/strong>, 37, and Princess Eugenie<\/strong>, 35.)<\/p>\n

The writer claimed that Ferguson introduced each of her daughters to Diddy during a yacht party weekend in 2006. (Eugenie was 16 years old on the time.)<\/p>\n

Lownie also wrote that Ferguson and Diddy met multiple times at hotels in Africa and Europe, including once staying at a seven-star hotel that cost \u00a350,000 per night.<\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to representatives for Diddy and Ferguson for comment.<\/p>\n

Diddy is currently serving a 50-month sentence on the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in Recent Jersey after his 2025 conviction of two counts of transportation for prostitution. (He was acquitted on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy following an eight-week trial.)<\/p>\n

Lownie made quite a few shocking claims about Ferguson within the hardcover edition of Entitled<\/em>, including that she was \u201cobsessed\u201d with Kevin Costner<\/strong> and had crushes on each George Clooney<\/strong> and Tiger Woods.<\/strong> (There isn’t any insinuation that anything ever happened between Ferguson and any of the three men mentioned.)<\/p>\n

The writer accused Mounbatten-Windsor of sleeping with \u201cgreater than a dozen women\u201d before he\u2019d even celebrated his first wedding anniversary with Ferguson within the Nineteen Eighties.<\/p>\n

The book further explored alleged troubles in Ferguson and Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s marriage prior to their 1992 separation. Per Lownie, Ferguson allegedly told friends that the then-prince was \u201cnever there when I want him\u201d and easily was \u201cjust not strong enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
