But look what I found. - they pulped her children’s book

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/nov/19/sarah-ferguson-new-childrens-book-pulped-jeffrey-epstein-links

Thousands of copies of Sarah Ferguson’s new children’s book have reportedly been withdrawn from sale and “pulped” in the wake of the renewed scrutiny over her links to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The book had been due for publication on 9 October, but was postponed until 20 November. It has now been removed entirely from publication schedules, and publishing sources have claimed that printed copies are being sent for recycling.

“It’s not been delayed, it’s being pulped,” one publishing insider told the Daily Mail. “It’s an acknowledgment of the inevitable. No one is going to want to buy it.”

The news follows a period of scandal for Ferguson, 66, who earlier this month lost the title Sarah, Duchess of York after King Charles stripped Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his remaining titles. She is also expected to lose her long-term home at Royal Lodge in Windsor, where she has lived for decades with her former husband, despite their separation.
