Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, the beleaguered Duchess of York, has finally met her reputational Waterloo. Fergie has now been dropped by several of the charities where she was a patron. The charity said in its statement: ‘We have made the decision to end our relationship with the Duchess of York, and as of today she is no longer a patron of Teenage Cancer Trust’. Still, up until now, Fergie has been one of the luckiest figures in British public life. Unless something deeply unexpected happens, it looks likely that she and Prince Andrew will be stuck together forever in Royal Lodge, ruing the mistakes that they made.
