Fergie Reportedly Plotting to ‘Pawn Off’ Diana’s Items For Money Amid Reports She’s ‘Seriously Worried’ About ‘Maintaining Her Lifestyle’

Ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are being accused of turning their former home into a “pawn shop” after the former Duke of York was stripped of his titles, according to Radar Online. Among the alleged items on auction are letters from Princess Diana.

A source told the site in a report published on January 11 that Andrew and Fergie have been “sneakily” taking stock of valuable items in their former home at Royal Lodge now that they’re on their own and need to move out. “Andrew is acting out of sheer self-preservation. He’s surveying everything of value, from jewelry to private papers, and viewing it as a financial lifeline should the palace cut him off for good,” the insider said.

The source continued, “The collection of loot at the Lodge goes well beyond jewelry. It includes private letters, intimate photographs, personal recordings and royal keepsakes, material that could command enormous sums if sold discreetly. Any sentiment there was for these objects has fallen away, the focus for Andrew now is purely financial.”

According to the source, Fergie, specifically, is planning to sell gifts and letters she’s received from Diana, who died in 1997, as a source of money. “Sarah has held onto everything. Her wedding keepsakes, correspondence, gifts, especially letters from Diana that she considers priceless,” the insider said. “Sarah has been meticulous about keeping hold of her royal past, from wedding mementos and gifts to years of personal correspondence, including letters from Princess Diana that she regards as beyond value.”

The insider continued, “The prospect of Diana’s private correspondence being sold has deeply unsettled the palace. That is seen as the moment this shifts from an uncomfortable situation into a full-blown crisis.”

The source also noted that items belonging to Andrew’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2022, could also be up for auction. “Items linked to the late Queen are charged with profound historical and emotional significance. Even if Andrew argues they are his to sell, the visual impact of putting them on the market would be deeply damaging,” the insider said.

The source continued, “Senior royals always expected the break with Andrew to be difficult, but not on this scale. The prospect of private letters, recordings and jewels becoming public is viewed as a worst-case scenario.”

The insider also claimed that, if Andrew and Fergie were to sell personal items from the British royal family, any future relationship between them and the palace would be done. “Any attempt to move forward would be impossible to contain. The appearance of even a single item would trigger immediate and widespread fallout. But Andrew and Sarah seem intent on turning the Lodge into some sort of pawn shop source by collecting together goods they think they can auction off to the highest bidder,” the insider said. “If they go ahead with this, their departure from royal life may end in the most volatile way yet.”
