Royal sources disclosed that, Sarah Ferguson has always been ‘petrifying afraid’ of Prince Andrew. Tina Brown author of The Palace Papers, recently claimed, she told how the pair’s relationship was always one of ‘continued reliance’.

In her book, she wrote an incident that happened in 201, where a media executive spoke to Fergie at the Royal Lodge.

However they were interrupted by the Duke of York who referred to his ex-wife with a shocking nickname.

During lunch meet-up, the prince walked in and said, “What are you doing with this fat cow?”

Author also told that Fergie was much of a ‘pro’ at handling Prince Andrew’s insults because she ‘benefits’ from them greatly.

She added, “Whatever the undertow of their curious arrangement, the deal seems to be that he bails her out when she’s in trouble and she backs him up when he’s assailed by scandal.”

At the end of the day, “It is the symbiosis of sheer survival.”
