Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has reportedly sparked new royal outrage after dishonoring late Queen Elizabeth II‘s legacy with her shoe stunt. The novelist recently raised eyebrows with what appeared to be a subtle dig at the former British monarch. Ferguson recently wore a pair of loafers with the late queen’s famous motto written on them. According to the latest claims, the move has been described as “silly” by palace insiders.
Sarah Ferguson wore shoes that had Queen Elizabeth II’s motto on them
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, may face backlash from the members of the British royal family after her questionable choice of shoes for an event. The 65-year-old novelist recently took to her Instagram and shared photos from a book signing event. Ferguson wrote in the post’s caption that her novel “Her Heart for a Compass” was “always meant to be a bridge between hearts, stories, and generations.”
The duchess further shared that signing copies and speaking with “these incredible creators” brought her “right back to why” she wrote the book “in the first place.” Meanwhile, the internet was quick to notice Ferguson’s choice of footwear for the event. The pair of shoes had the late Queen Elizabeth II’s motto embroidered on them. It read, “Never complain, never explain.” However, the move has reportedly not left the palace aides amused.
Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop exclusively learned from a royal insider that the stunt is “deeply disrespectful at worst.” They said that it is “cheeky at best.” The insider continued to state that the late queen “lived that phrase with dignity.” However, they pointed out that the “track record” of Ferguson and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, is “not exactly in the same league.” The former royal couple has previously been embroiled in controversies.
A source continued to tell #ShuterScoop that the duchess’ move is “almost mocking the Queen’s legacy.” Furthermore, an aide also slammed Ferguson, saying, “This was a silly, unnecessary stunt.” They added, “And the timing? Couldn’t be worse.” Ferguson and Andrew’s troubled past has been in the spotlight in recent weeks. This is because excerpts from Andrew Lownie’s upcoming book, “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” have taken over the headlines.
