The Duchess of York has revealed both her Mills & Boon novels may become period TV drama. Sarah, also known as Fergie by friends and fans, shared she is very “excited” about the possibility to see her historical fiction being turned into TV shows. And, the former royal wife also said, she has the support of her ex-husband Prince Andrew, who “tells me they [books] are fabulous”.
Speaking to the Mirror about the prospect, Fergie said: “I’m going to let you into a secret, We have been talking to production companies and there is real interest in turning both novels into a period TV drama. I am so excited about it, I would love to see someone like Jess Buckley play my heroine.”
Sarah debuted as a Mills & Boon author in August 2021, when the publisher released Her Heart for a Compass.
The novel followed the adventures of Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas Scott, a Scottish aristocrat who really existed and is losely related to Fergie.
Sarah learned about Lady Margaret’s existence while looking into her own ancestry, and found the fellow redhead was her great-great-aunt.
While not much historical information is available about Lady Margaret, Fergie decided to fill in the gaps with her imagination and to make up adventures, and a friendship with Queen Victoria’s sixth child Princess Louise, for her ancestor.
Following the success of her debut novel, Fergie is releasing this month another book titled A Most Intriguing Lady, in which the heroine is a younger sister of Lady Margaret – Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott.
