Fergie Denies She Asked Royals’ Forgiveness

Sarah Ferguson, whose sexual indiscretions and brash behavior helped undermine respect for the British royal family, has begged for forgiveness, a London tabloid reported Monday.

The Sun quoted an unidentified family friend as saying the Duchess of York, the former wife of Prince Andrew, sent hand-written letters to Queen Elizabeth II and her children Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

However, a spokesman for the duchess in New York called the story a fabrication and said she sent only a single letter of condolence to Prince Charles and his sons after Diana’s death Aug 31.
