"They met in luxury hotels": The little-known affairs of the former Duchess of York with P. Diddy revealed

The former Duchess of York is once again facing embarrassing revelations about her past relationships. According to information revealed by royal expert Andrew Lownie in his book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York , Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ex-wife allegedly had an intimate relationship with American rapper and producer Sean Combs, better known as P. Diddy.

This little-known affair would add to the already documented ties between the mother of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. As a reminder, Sean Combs himself was convicted by the American justice system for transporting people for the purpose of prostitution, after being indicted for sex trafficking and extortion.

Meeting via Ghislaine Maxwell

According to Andrew Lownie's book, the two first met in 2002 in New York, at a reception hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's associate. This initial encounter reportedly led, two years later, to a discreet relationship that lasted several years.

The book describes a "friends with benefits" relationship that allegedly continued until 2008. According to witnesses and sources cited in the investigation, Sarah Ferguson made no secret of her attraction to influential figures in the United States after her divorce in 1996. "She had a reputation for being an opportunist and sleeping with rich men," reports a Palm Beach source interviewed by the author.

Luxury trips and controversial parties

The royal expert's investigation reveals discreet meetings arranged in high-end establishments around the world, particularly in Europe and Africa. The lovers reportedly met regularly in exceptional hotels, sometimes staying in resorts where the cost per night exceeded £50,000.

The former duchess's influence may even have been felt in the American artist's business ventures. At the launch of his fragrance Unforgivable in 2006, P. Diddy reportedly stated that he had been inspired by Sarah Ferguson and her preferences in men's fragrances.

The book also recounts an episode deemed troubling by those close to the royal family: the presence of his daughter, Princess Eugenie, at one of the parties hosted by the rapper on his yacht. "Sean's parties were wild. The fact that she brought Eugenie with her was worrying," a member of the royal staff comments in the book.

To date, Sarah Ferguson has not publicly reacted to the publication of these statements.
