However, the joyful family update was quickly overshadowed by new allegations published in an upcoming royal biography by author Andrew Lownie. According to excerpts reported by the Daily Mail
, the book claims Sarah Ferguson allegedly developed a close personal relationship with music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs after the pair reportedly met at a 2002 party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell.
The biography further alleges that Ferguson and Combs maintained what insiders described as a “friends with benefits” arrangement for several years beginning in 2004. Additional claims in the book suggest that Sarah introduced her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, to Combs during that period.
One of the more controversial allegations reportedly states that Ferguson brought Princess Eugenie to one of Combs’ parties when the royal was still a teenager. A source quoted in the biography claimed the gatherings were known for their extravagant atmosphere and suggested concerns about Eugenie’s presence at such events.
Despite the headlines generated by the book, sources close to Sarah Ferguson have strongly rejected the accusations. A confidant of the former Duchess of York dismissed the claims as entirely false and fabricated, insisting there is no truth behind the allegations being circulated.
The renewed scrutiny comes at a sensitive time for the York family, as Princess Eugenie’s pregnancy announcement had initially shifted attention toward positive royal family news before the controversial claims resurfaced online.
