As the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson is no longer considered a working royal, meaning she doesn’t perform official business on the queen’s behalf, per The Sun. But that doesn’t mean she’s stopped working. On the contrary, the Duchess of York has made quite a name for herself in her post-palace life. She became an enthusiastic spokesperson for Weight Watchers after losing weight through the program, and at one point had her own talk show (via Biography). She continues to travel extensively and promote various charities. The royal affectionately known as Fergie is also the author of a variety of books: inspirational guides, children’s books, and even a historical novel, “Her Heart for a Compass.”
“Her Heart for a Compass” features a heroine based on the duchess’ own great-great-aunt, Lady Margaret Montagu Scott. Ferguson portrays her as a redheaded noblewoman with a determined, independent streak — much like Fergie herself. She once said in an interview, “When I looked into the DNA of my own ancestry I found this lady that didn’t have a voice. No one knew what she’d achieved, so I made it fiction, but it is my family” (per Bustle). This has now inspired a new venture. On October 29, 2021, she announced on Twitter that she is launching her own book club in partnership with British publisher Mills & Boon.
