Sarah Ferguson’s lavish spending habits once again made headlines when she was slapped with a jaw-dropping fine for excess baggage. Returning from a shopping spree in New York, Fergie faced nearly £1,000 in penalties for more than fifty extra bags. Among her pricey purchases was a £515 teddy bear!
Known for her extravagant lifestyle, Sarah’s spending hit new heights after marrying Prince Andrew. Despite her royal ties, financial woes followed, with reports claiming she frittered away over £860,000 a year. Lavish gifts, over-the-top floral arrangements, and luxurious getaways quickly drained her funds.
Sarah’s spending contrasted sharply with Andrew’s more conservative approach to finances, leading to tension within their marriage. By the time they separated in 1993, she reportedly owed around £4 million to a prestigious bank.
Throughout their relationship, the two remained tangled in a complex dynamic. Andrew often came to Sarah’s rescue during financial crises, while she supported him during scandals. However, recent developments suggest things have changed. The pair have been moved out of the Royal Lodge, and Andrew’s relocation to Norfolk could be the final straw for Sarah.
As her future remains uncertain, Sarah seems determined to stand on her own. Royal commentator Helena Chard notes that while Fergie was the ever-loyal ex-wife, she now recognises that distancing herself from Andrew may be in her best interest.
