00:00Sarah Ferguson's greed and wastefulness contributed to her downfall.

00:04Sarah Ferguson's frivolous spending is allegedly catching up with her

00:08now that she's been forced out of Royal Lodge.

00:11In Andrew Lowney's book, entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York,

00:15a former staffer claimed Sarah Ferguson wasn't mindful of her resources.

00:20It was greed and wastefulness that contributed to the former duchess's financial downfall, they alleged.

00:26Every night, she demands a whole side of beef, a leg of lamb, and a chicken,

00:30which are laid out on the dining room table like a medieval banquet.

00:34It's a feast that would make Henry VIII proud.

00:36According to Andrew Lowney, Sarah Ferguson would throw away money by missing flights

00:41and packing suitcases with unnecessary items.

00:44She would arrive with 25 cases and pay between £800 and £4,000 in excess baggage.

00:50The author wrote, adding how she brought multiple trunks solely for clothes hangers,

00:54Sarah Ferguson also allegedly requested personal trainers, hairdressers, and Pilates instructors,

01:00who were paid hundreds of pounds an hour to wait for her to emerge for the day in the late afternoon.

01:05Reality set in for Sarah Ferguson when she and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,

01:10were stripped of their titles and forced to vacate Royal Lodge over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

01:16I've always thought her downfall was her hopeless grasp of money,

01:19combined with her desire to have more and more of it, royal expert Jenny Bond said.

01:24She allowed her debts to spiral on a level few of us would understand.

01:29Sarah Ferguson also reportedly lost money on her investment property,

01:33a townhouse in Belgravia, when she sold it for £3.85 million

01:37after snapping it up for £4.25 million three years prior.

01:41She wasn't looking to sell it.

01:43She was asked by the tenant to buy it, and it seemed like a good time to sell.

01:47Her representative James Henderson told GB News,

01:50it's an investment property for her girls,

01:53and so the monies will be reinvested accordingly.
