Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s ex-wife had already been distancing herself from the spotlight since King Charles removed his brother’s royal titles and honours, a period during which her charitable and public engagements have steadily unravelled.Last month, Ms Ferguson pushed back against reports suggesting she was close to securing a seven-figure book deal aimed at rehabilitating her public image. Her spokesman stated that there have been “no discussions” of any such agreement, adding: “She is not writing a personal memoir.”Since the stripping of royal titles and honours from her former husband by the King, Ms Ferguson has kept a notably low profile. Her retreat from public life has coincided with the progressive dismantling of her longstanding charitable associations, leaving few visible traces of her once prominent philanthropic presence.
