Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, has been the subject of controversy following allegations about her relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, a disgraced music mogul. These claims have sparked interest and debate, particularly after Andrew Lownie, a royal author, discussed them on “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Wednesday, May 27. In his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, Lownie made several assertions about Ferguson, who is now 66, and Combs, who is 56.
Lownie claimed in his biography that Ferguson began a casual relationship with Combs after meeting in 2002. However, a source close to Ferguson dismissed these claims, calling them “fabricated nonsense” in an earlier statement to The Sun. During the interview, host Megyn Kelly asked Lownie about the allegations, and he responded by stating, “It was her friends with benefits relationship that went on for many years.”
Lownie further clarified that he initially thought the pair met in 2002, but recent revelations suggested they were seen together at a birthday party in 1998. He added that Ferguson had a fascination with rappers, even inviting them to perform at children’s birthday parties. “She had these obsessions with, particularly rich and well-known people,” he said.
He also mentioned that Ferguson had a passion for A-List celebrities such as Tiger Woods, Kevin Costner, and John F. Kennedy Jr. According to Lownie, Ferguson once claimed she had only met P. Diddy twice, but he pointed out that there is ample photographic evidence of their meetings. “My source is strong, I’m standing up by it,” he said.
Lownie also highlighted that Diddy had a strong interest in connecting with members of the British royal family. “It didn’t surprise me that people expressed surprise about this relationship, but it fits in entirely with the way that she behaved toward financial backers and people who were in the public eye,” he explained.
“She liked bad boys, and there’s a whole history of getting involved with men who were very unsuitable,” Lownie insisted. He described Ferguson as someone who was drawn to high-profile figures, often choosing partners who were controversial or unconventional.
Andrew Lownie has remained firm in his stance, telling The Times on May 9 that he “stands by” his book. He emphasized that the claims are fully sourced, citing former employees of both P. Diddy and Sarah Ferguson. In his biography, Lownie wrote that Ferguson and Combs first met during a 2002 party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the book, the pair reportedly started a sexual friendship two years later. Diddy allegedly bragged to his colleagues about sleeping with Ferguson and even expressed excitement about when her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, would come of age.
The claims continue to generate attention, with many questioning the accuracy of Lownie’s account. While some sources have refuted the allegations, others have supported the idea that Ferguson had a complex relationship with high-profile individuals. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen whether more details will emerge to either confirm or challenge these claims.
