Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and King Charles III have known each other for years. The Guardian reports that Ferguson’s father worked for the Duke of Edinburgh before becoming Charles’ polo manager. After several embarrassing scandals of his own, the “Galloping Major” was forced to exit royal life. Still, Charles expressed his feelings of remorse following the major’s death in 2003. Which is more regard than he’s shown for Ferguson since she split from Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
Ferguson was absent from William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales’ wedding. And according to the Daily Mail, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, had to battle with his father over her attending his nuptials to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. However, Charles firmly insisted Ferguson couldn’t attend the evening reception he paid for. “Charles simply doesn’t have time for her,” a source said.

Charles was allegedly furious at reports Ferguson was reuniting with his brother. “Charles is not OK with Fergie. He can’t stand her in reality,” a source told The Sun. “He thinks she’s brought embarrassment to the royal family in the past.” They also blamed Ferguson’s close relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales — who’d loathed Camilla, Queen Consort — as being another source of ire. Charles also allegedly finds Ferguson’s love for making a quick buck distasteful. “The fear with her is that she will never stop promoting herself and looking for ways to make money off her royal position,” the source claimed.
