A GB News guest erupted in anger at Sarah Ferguson “showing her true colours” after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his royal titles.
The pair, formerly the Duke and Duchess of York, are set to separate after almost 30 years of divorce after it emerged that Ms Ferguson will not join Mr Mountbatten Windsor when he moves into Sandringham.
But journalist and author Suzan Holder launched into a fiery tirade against Ms Ferguson, accusing her of “living off” the King’s brother until she “hightailed it out of there”.
“I think it is quite interesting to look at the Sarah Ferguson kind of line in this, because I do think we’re all talking about Andrew, as we rightly should,” Ms Holder told GB News’ Anne Diamond and Stephen Dixon.

“But actually those revelations that she was begging for money from Epstein way after he was convicted, way after we all knew, had given an apology for her actions.”
Ms Holder further chastised Ms Ferguson regarding the 2011 email in which she referred to convicted paedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as her “supreme friend”.
In the same damning emails, the former Duchess of York appeared to apologise for her outward criticism of the sex offender.
As the emails were leaked, seven charities dropped the Duchess of York as a patron and ambassador, including the likes of The Teenage Cancer Trust, Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Children’s Literacy Charity, National Foundation for Retired Service Animals and Prevent Breast Cancer.
The British Heart Foundation has also dropped Ms Ferguson in the wake of the shocking correspondence.
Referring to these emails, Ms Holder said: “We’ve seen the email that went to Epstein saying, ‘I didn’t really mean it.’
“Perhaps to say, ‘I thought I was going to lose my publishing deal and I need my children’s books to come out’. The word ‘grubby’ is what comes to mind.”
The author continued: “She has shown her true colours now in a way that I think is absolutely disgraceful.”
She further laid into the ex-wife of the former Prince claiming that she only distanced himself now “because she could see the way the wind was blowing”.
“She’s had the happiest divorce for the last 30 years and continued to live off of this man that she’s not even married to now.”
But, after Mr Mountbatten Windsor was booted out of Royal Lodge earlier this week “this is when she chooses to hightail it out of there”, Ms Holder added.
“Doesn’t that tell you quite a lot about that woman?” she finished.

GETTYShe further contemplated that she believed it to be “interesting” that Beatrice and Eugenie appear “more mad with her than Andrew”.
“It’s always interesting sometimes in a family where you’ve got the one that you kind of think is a liability and the one that keeps them in check, and you almost hold them to a higher standards and you get annoyed.”
The 66-year-old will be moving out of Royal Lodge and will acquire her own living arrangements away from the King’s Norfolk estate.
Meanwhile, Princesses Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, will keep their titles as they remain the daughters of the son of a Monarch.
