AceShowbiz - Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has reiterated his explosive claims that Sarah Ferguson engaged in a secret relationship with music mogul P. Diddy during the late 1990s. These allegations are supported by photographs and corroborated evidence dating back over two decades.
In the updated paperback edition of his bestseller Entitled: The Rise and Fall of House of York, Lownie asserts that Ferguson maintained a “friends with benefits” arrangement with the founder of Bad Boy Records. This sharply contrasts with statements from Ferguson’s public relations team, who insist the two only met twice.
“We have more than two pictures of them together at various events,” Lownie said in a recent interview. He acknowledged an earlier error, noting he initially believed their first meeting was in 2002, but the evidence now confirms their presence together at Diddy’s 1998 birthday party.
The New York Daily News has published images showing Ferguson and Diddy at the 1998 celebration. At the time, Diddy was 28 years old, while Ferguson was approximately 40. Lownie was initially informed they met at an event hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell; however, the timeline now extends earlier into the 1990s.
Lownie further claims that Diddy was fascinated by the royal family and allegedly boasted about intimate encounters with Ferguson dating back to 2004. Disturbingly, the biographer reports that Diddy once expressed eagerness for Ferguson’s daughters to reach adulthood.
Currently, Diddy is serving a sentence in the United States related to transportation for prostitution charges. These new allegations arise amid Lownie’s wider investigation into the financial affairs of the York family and scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s conduct.
Ferguson’s PR representatives have categorically denied the claims, labeling them as “absolute fabricated nonsense” and “blatantly untrue.”
Nevertheless, Lownie points out a recurring pattern of Ferguson altering her accounts of past relationships. “This is a consistent playbook for her,” he said. He referenced her earlier claims of severing ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2011, which he disputes based on evidence showing her presence at Epstein’s residences well into 2013 and 2014.
The updated edition of Entitled features approximately 100,000 additional words of new material gathered from dozens of sources, including former staff, schoolmates, charity workers, and protection officers. Many of these individuals are prepared to speak on the record, lending further weight to Lownie’s findings.
