Sarah&#8217;s been in more hot water than a rugby team after the final whistle, but this time it&#8217;s different \u2013 and here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe&#8217;s indicated that her way back is through good deeds. Lots of them. Public favour can be hers once again with her planned rebrand as a &#8216;global empowerment leader&#8217;. She forgets one thing \u2013 the word &#8216;Epstein&#8217;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Wilson said Sarah\u2019s future ahead \u201ceerily echoes\u201d the fate of her great-aunt, Sheila Wingfield, the Viscountess Powerscourt.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cExceptionally gifted and beguiling in her youth, Lady Powerscourt, like Sarah, inhabited a vast and colossally expensive mansion. Like Sarah, she was an impossible spendthrift. Like Sarah, she had her mad moments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say: \u201cIn her day, like her great-niece, she was heralded as a breath of fresh air on the aristocratic scene and \u2013 while the going was good \u2013 was a diligent wife and mother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut after she and her husband parted, the life of Sheila, Viscountess Powerscourt, descended into a vortex of drink and drugs. A gifted poet, she, like Sarah, produced books which people bought. She, like Sarah, drank to excess. But that&#8217;s where the similarities end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that the \u201cdownward spiral\u201d of her great-aunt should serve as a stark warning to Fergie, adding: \u201cSo many similarities, so many sad disappointments. And that is the spectre of failure which now hangs over Sarah Ferguson&#8217;s future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Ferguson should have paid attention to one of her own family members who\u2019s been riddled with misfortunes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[186224,77913,186223,5105,7710,519,448,7717,186222,186220,77908,77911,77907,186221,186225],"class_list":{"0":"post-591123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-andrew-and-fergie-latest","9":"tag-fergie","10":"tag-fergie-royal","11":"tag-royal","12":"tag-royal-families","13":"tag-royal-family","14":"tag-royals","15":"tag-sarah-ferguson","16":"tag-sarah-ferguson-flee","17":"tag-sarah-ferguson-home","18":"tag-sarah-ferguson-latest","19":"tag-sarah-ferguson-latest-news","20":"tag-sarah-ferguson-news","21":"tag-sarah-ferguson-scandal","22":"tag-where-is-fergie-going-to-live"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115605736184286428","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
