The two royals Sarah Ferguson 'hated' - it's not who you'd expect

Sarah Ferguson reportedly "hated" two major members of the Royal Family, according to an updated version of a recently released royal book. The ex-wife of the royal formerly known as Prince Andrew is said to have taken a dislike to Prince Philip and Prince Edward, who are her former father-in-law and brother-in-law.

According to the updated version of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which will be released on May 21, Sarah often spoke about "having messed up her relationship with [Princess] Diana and about her love of the [late] Queen", but is thought to have hated Philip and Edward.

Royal author Andrew Lownie wrote: "The assistant saw little of Andrew, who was so foul the staff walked on eggshells when he was around.

"The two daughters, she felt, were very much under the control of their mother but embarrassed by her behaviour.

"Sarah talked endlessly about having messed up her relationship with Diana and about her love of the Queen – she hated Philip and Edward – and her parents."

He then added: "The assistant was struck by her immaturity. ‘She wanted to go back to childhood … She had this constant need to be wanted, with the result that she had no boundaries'."

There had been previous reports that suggested past tensions between Edward and Sarah, such as the late Queen's younger son having "frozen out" Sarah in the 1990s.

Despite this, it has been reported that Sarah was often seen supporting the family, including posting about Andrew and Edward's childhood.

Philip took a dislike to Sarah following the 1992 "toe-gate" scandal and her divorce from Andrew.

The late royal reportedly viewed her as "vulgar" and frequently excluded her from family gatherings. Despite this, Sarah previously noted that he was a "wise man" who gave her advice.
