As reported by The Mirror, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife was reportedly working on adapting her novels ‘Her Heart’ for a ‘Compass and A Most Intriguing Lady’ into a multi-part TV series.
The publication reported that plotlines and storyboards had been drawn up, with pitches having been sent to Netflix.
However, a Hollywood dealmaker has now told The Mirror that these projects will now never make it to the big screen as a result of this latest scandal.
The source said: “For Sarah to be linked to this scandal at this time for the US is just toxic news for the project. It will never see the light of day.”
An LA producer also told The Mirror: “Sarah Ferguson’s scandal means this show is cooked. It ain’t going to be picked by anyone because this Epstein connection makes the brand totally toxic at this time in Hollywood.
“She was shopping her books around as a new version of ‘Bridgerton’, trading on her Royal credentials to appeal to American audiences. Initial reactions were lukewarm, but the second book gave a sense of real potential.”
Before the scandal, Sarah—who lives at Royal Lodge with Prince Andrew—reportedly believed that the projects would win Emmys and Golden Globes.
The duchess was last spotted publicly on Monday.
