Kate Middleton is reportedly "caught in a painful dilemma" over the breakdown of her friendship with exiled royal, Sarah Ferguson.
The Princess of Wales and the former Duchess of York developed a close relationship in recent years due to their shared experience with cancer. Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed cancer at the start of 2024, while Sarah has had cancer twice: breast cancer in June 2023 and malignant melanoma in January 2024.
Over the course of their friendship, Kate is thought to have shared intimate details about her life, which she now fears could be made public if Sarah speaks to the press.
"Kate has become friends with Sarah over the years," an insider told RadarOnline. "But one thing she will not abide is her going on TV or writing a tell-all for money now she and Andrew have been ousted from their lodgings and stripped of their royal titles over the Epstein scandal."
The source added that, while Kate "appreciated" Sarah's support during her cancer treatment, she's now in turmoil over what she could potentially reveal. "She cares deeply for Sarah, yet she cannot allow herself to become entangled in another controversy," the insider claimed. "Her focus has to remain on her children, her well-being, and safeguarding the future of the monarchy."
Following her and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's exile and eviction from Royal Lodge, Sarah has been forced to forge a new path for herself. In doing so, she's reportedly been offered multiple TV deals, which she isn't in a position to turn down.
"It seems her world is falling apart," the insider added of Sarah's current situation. "She is really grasping at straws to try to secure her future. If that means a TV or memoir tell-all, she's likely to do it."
