Several friends, and readers such as they are, have been annoyed with me for attempting to stick up for Sarah Ferguson earlier. However, I just want to add this thought: given that she is, as the Windsors are doubtless keen to point out, “no longer a member of the royal family”, what does she owe the UK?
Fergie has, after all, been praised for her charity work and is now seeking a role of her own. She has been the victim of a cunning and pre-planned stink in which a reporter lied repeatedly. Is it not time to think about the ethics of that?
