One tycoon’s given her a £160,000 Bentley. Another’s lent her his jet. Now she’s partying with Branson on his private island…
What does a person do when they have debts of around £2million and have just laid off their loyal staff? For Sarah Ferguson, the answer was to take off to the Caribbean to party with billionaires. On Thursday, she boarded on the Gulfstream private jet owned by her longtime friend Peter Brant, the U.S. newsprint tycoon. She was then flown in habitual luxury from his Connecticut home, where she has been staying for several days, to the 60th birthday party of Sir Richard Branson on his private Necker Island in the Caribbean.

And more about Kate Waddington, Fergie’s public relations consultant for 20 years, who last week was reportedly sacked with the rest of her staff…
Interestingly, the Daily Mail says humiliated Kate called Fergie to quit a while back – while she was in the US trying to salvage her image from the Cash for Access scandal.
“Kate plays with a straight bat and was horrified that Sarah had kept such an important thing from her,” said a source. “She felt her loyalty to Fergie had been rewarded with an almighty slap in the face.”

Can it get any worse for Fergie?
As Sarah Ferguson is forced to make her staff redundant, those who know her most intimately admit that the Duchess faces an uncertain future.
Sarah Ferguson has enjoyed her share of ups and downs during her royal and post-royal careers. Well – downs, mostly. Duchess of York is one of the great loose cannons of the Hanoverian-Windsor era. Cut away from the Royal Family, which once greeted her, like the young Lady Diana Spencer, as a breath of democratic fresh air, she has spent the last two decades seemingly rolling around the deck, smashing into this and that, leaving a trail of wreckage, usually financial, strewn in her flame-haired wake.
