According to sources, mainly The Independent, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, will not be invited to King Charles’ coronation. While her ex-husband Prince Andrew and their daughters Beatrice and Eugenie are expected to attend, Sarah is said to be excluded due to her past conduct, which is seen as an embarrassment to the Royal Family.
Although the report in The Independent has not been confirmed, royal commentator Tom Bower suggested that Sarah had excluded herself from the event due to her previous actions, which would ‘provoke critical comment that Charles doesn’t need’. Bower also stated that the decision to exclude her was an ‘extremely wise’ one.
