Fergie Under Arrest!
Woman's Day Australia|July 22, 2019

The duchess’ wild night ended in the royal being thrown into a police van

Fergie Under Arrest!

A shock report has rocked Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, just as she was re-establishing herself with the royal family. It’s been recently revealed that Fergie was detained and thrown into a police car outside of Buckingham Palace.

The decidedly unroyal behaviour has been documented by a leading royal biographer, who claims the duchess, 59, was not alone during her run-in with the law, and was joined by none other than Princess Diana.

The alleged incident, which happened on the night of Fergie’s hens party before she married Prince Andrew in 1986, started out as a prank, but turned sour when the mischievous royals took their joke too far.

Sarah Bradford, also known as Viscountess Bangor, revealed, “There was always trouble afoot when the two women got together.

“On Fergie’s hen night she and Diana wore grey wigs, dressed up as policewomen and pretended to arrest a ‘prostitute’ outside Buckingham Palace. They were put in a police van and driven down The Mall until one of the policemen recognised Diana. He was so shocked he couldn’t believe it.”
