Mr Hooper mockingly brands the former Duchess of York’s venture “FergieLeaks, the world’s first subscription-based royal whistle-blowing platform, where grievances drop weekly like a prestige drama.”

The savage satire mocks the Palace’s response as “one lukewarm cup of herbal tea” and “The Great (former) Duchess Gambit.” Mr Hooper warns that if she takes such drastic action, “Australia may finally unite” behind a republic or appointing her Governor-General “just to keep the entertainment flowing.” He concludes that any tell-all will be “long, it will be eccentric, and it will absolutely be serialised in the Daily Mail”.
