Fergie Confidential: The Real Story Book

In August of 1992, British newspapers published photos that shook the very foundation of the monarchy. The pictures revealed the Duchess of York enjoying a clandestine affair in St. Tropez with American Johnny Bryan - and the public who had been surprised by Sarah's groundbreaking separation was now stunned by the shocking new evidence of her dissatisfaction with her life as a royal. What behind-the-scenes events could possibly have driven the Duchess to rebel as drastically as she did? Chris Hutchins's and Peter Thompson's years of royal watching - with special attention to the Duchess - have culminated in this explosive account of the events preceding and during Sarah's fall from royal favor. Never before has the energetic, determined Duchess been revealed in such honest detail - from the plain, outdoorsy girl who liked to have a good time, to the bride who bested the odds to marry into a royal circle that promptly shut her out. This mesmerizing book offers not only the first candid view of Sarah herself, but also an astonishing look at what really goes on in the lives of today's young royals.

The furor erupted when photos of Fergie enjoying an intimate holiday with American Johnny Bryan hit the papers in Britain. Now, the authors' years of royal watching have culminated in this explosive account of the events preceding and during Fergie's fall from royal favor. Color photos. Martin's.
