Episode Details

In the first episode of our brand-new three-part series, The Fergie Files, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by royal biographer Ingrid Seward and former royal photographer Ian Lloyd to explore the remarkable rise of Sarah Ferguson.

Before the scandals that would later dominate headlines, Fergie was one of the Royal Family's brightest stars. Together, they revisit her privileged childhood, whirlwind romance with Prince Andrew, the royal wedding that captivated Britain, and the challenges of adjusting to life inside the monarchy.

The conversation also examines Diana's role in bringing the couple together, Andrew's long absences with the Royal Navy, the pressures of royal life, and the early cracks that would eventually lead to the couple's separation.

This is Part One of The Fergie Files. In the next episode, the story continues with the infamous toe-sucking scandal, mounting financial troubles, and the dramatic fallout that reshaped Sarah Ferguson's public image.
