Inside Sarah Ferguson and the Rapper's Rumored Relationship
Sarah Ferguson and Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly met in 2002 at Ghislaine Maxwell's party.
The gossip stemmed from Andrew Lownie's book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, where he claimed Ferguson, 66, and the rapper met at a 2002 party thrown by Epstein's convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The author alleged the two became "secret friends with benefits" for years, claiming they would book pricey hotel rooms to hook up across the globe. The book also claimed the "I Need a Girl" crooner was "obsessed" with the royal family and even bragged about "slamming" the famous red-heard.
The Author Stands by His Work
Sarah Ferguson allegedly brought Princess Eugenie to one of the celebrity's 'wild' parties.
Another allegation said the rapper admitted he "could not wait until Fergie’s daughters come of age," referring to her two girls with Andrew: Princess Eugenie, now 36, and Princess Beatrice, 37.
Eugenie allegedly event went to one bash when she was 16.
"Sean’s parties were wild. The fact that she brought Eugenie around was alarming," a former royal staffer spilled to Lownie.
Diddy's rep denied all of the allegations, calling it "utterly ridiculous gossip."
Nonetheless, the biographer doubled down on his work, telling The Times, "I stand by it. It’s fully sourced with former employees of P. Diddy and Sarah Ferguson."
