Sarah Ferguson and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Affair Claims Spark Fresh Royal Controversy Over Princess Eugenie Allegations

Fresh controversy surrounding Sarah Ferguson has emerged following explosive claims published in Andrew Lownie’s upcoming book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. The book alleges that the former Duchess of York had a secret relationship with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and even introduced Princess Eugenie to some of his exclusive parties while she was still a teenager.

According to excerpts published by the Daily Mail, sources close to the situation claimed Ferguson and Combs were involved in a long-running “friends with benefits” relationship that reportedly began after they met at a New York gathering hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2002.

The book alleges that the pair frequently met across Europe and the United States, often staying in luxury hotels during their travels. One source claimed they once stayed at a seven-star hotel costing more than $68,000 per night. Another insider alleged that Combs’ 2006 fragrance, Unforgivable, was partly inspired by Ferguson’s comments about how she preferred men to smell.

However, the most controversial allegations involve Princess Eugenie. The book claims Ferguson introduced both Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice to Combs at multiple social events during their younger years. A former royal staff member cited in the excerpt alleged that Eugenie once accompanied her mother to a yacht party hosted by Diddy when she was just 16 years old.

“The fact that she brought Eugenie around was alarming,” the unnamed former staff member reportedly stated in the book excerpt.

The allegations arrive amid renewed public scrutiny surrounding Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew’s past associations with Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier this year, the US Department of Justice released additional Epstein-related documents, which reportedly included references connected to Ferguson.

One source quoted in the book claimed Ferguson “had a reputation for being an opportunist and for sleeping with wealthy men.” The excerpts also revisit a controversial 2010 email exchange in which Ferguson allegedly joked to Epstein about Princess Eugenie returning from a “shagging weekend” with her now-husband, Jack Brooksbank.

Meanwhile, Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently serving a four-year prison sentence following his 2025 conviction on charges related to transportation for prostitution. The latest allegations have further intensified media attention surrounding both the disgraced music executive and members of the British royal family tied to past controversies.

While the claims in Lownie’s book have generated widespread discussion online, many of the allegations remain unverified and continue to fuel debate over the long-standing controversies connected to the House of York.
