Source: Sarah Ferguson Told to 'Disappear' on Royal Wedding Day

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 28th 2011 11:46AM

It's bad enough that Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, did not receive an invite to the Royal wedding, but now to add insult to injury the Royal black sheep has been asked to keep a low profile on the very special day.

"The last thing the family wants is a picture of Sarah in a bikini on a beach popping up the day of the wedding or even worst mopping around by herself while everyone else is celebrating," a friend of Sarah's tells me. "They have basically told her to disappear and not be any distraction to the big day."

Sarah, whose most recent scandal involved being caught trying to sell media access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, has been busy working on a new show, 'Finding Sarah,' for Oprah's OWN channel. But despite her hard work, the Royals have made it clear they are in no mood to forgive.

The Duchess has not returned emails requesting comment. Has she gone underground already?

"Not inviting Sarah to the wedding is such a big mistake," the confidante tells me. "What's going to happen in a few years when her daughters get married? Are they going to try and ban their mother from attending their wedding because the Queen will be attending?"

Sarah is the first to admit she's made a big mistake and my insider observes that "if a wedding isn't a time for a family to set aside past problems and come together, then I don't know what is."

For your complete coverage of the Royal Wedding, tune into TLC on Friday at 5 AM when I will be Emcee of the nation's biggest viewing party live from Times Square! TLC will be airing the wedding live and have lots of surprises including three live weddings and a very special performance by Grammy-winning, multi-platinum singer Colbie Caillat.

These people are not "people"as in the normal sense of the word. They beleive they have a divine right to rule,which is ridiculous. Sarah F. and even Diana were too much like real humans for them,which is why they were treated so badly. Yes,Sarah made mistakes,but she should be glad that she doesn't have to have anything to do with these royal robots.

Poor Fergie has always been her own worst enemy. I would bet that had this latest "cash for access" scandal not happened, she would have been invited to the wedding. She ruined years of good solid work with her incessant greediness. Her constant pursuit and spending of money has been her undoing.

By Rae

I find this article hard to believe. The media is so focused on the wedding itself that I can't imagine any of them would give a hoot what Fergie is doing that day. I also wouldn't expect my ex sister in law to invite me to her son's wedding. I'm not related to her/or him anymore.

By Walter

Will and Kate can invite and NOT invite anybody that they want. IT IS THEIR WEDDING and they do not need anybody's approval of the guest list. Sarah was not invited and rightly so. Her latest stunt trying to sell access to her former husband really went over the top. To all the "Forgive and Forget Crowd" please stop with your holyer than thou attitude. Sarah is a bad apple and should be thrown out of the barrel.

Just a thought... if Sarah is being banned from the wedding because of
her character and behavior, Charles and Camilla should join her. The
two of them (dumbo and horseface) have done far worse over the years.
Their adulterous affair and coldhearted selfishness shattered Diana's
dreams of a happily ever after, and shamed and embarrased many
innocent people, especially all of their children. The royals are a
sham, and through the years, most have been outed for being nothing
more than lying, cheating, manipulative hippocrates. William
represents the future. He is a better person for tolerating his father
and a harlot, masquerading as loving family. Kate has her hands full.
Sarah got off easy. At least she is still alive.

I'm glad it's just a thought, because no one wants to hear your rant. What a "thinks they know it all" idiot.

I agree that the RF treated Diana horribly. I still shudder when I see Camilla.

Don't speak for me, BW..........I happen to agree with yankred.

The Brit's have always had their panties in a wad over something, may as well be this. Blood frkg limies anyway!

By Hal

When you create your own problems , without thinking about the now and future hurt you may cause, you deserve what you get.
I'm sure her daughter's weddings can be done LOW KEYED. Really who will care .

Willian and Catherine's wedding is IMPORTANT to the UK. They REALLY CARE.

By joy

Hal it`s WILLIAM & KATHERINE

By enoughenoughnow

This is just brutal to me. Sarah and Dianna were friends before they became part of the Royal family. William was in Sarah's wedding. I find it rather convoluted. I believe that the bride's brother has a drug past and there is an uncle somewhere on her side who will also be at the wedding that has a criminal history with time served. If they are unhappy with Fergie...again...and they seem to be with some justification, just what secrets were there to be told about Andrew? He seems a nice chap, but could it be the ties he has to that rich pedophile from America that might have been close to being leaked? That type of friend is not the kind you want to have your picture taken with, especially when you have two daughters of your own that you love and cherish. It is just so lopsided and unfair. That said, love and blessings to the beautiful young couple...I will be watching. Fergie will be in my thoughts for you know if Dianna were still with us, I know Fergie would be invited to the wedding to share in all of the joy. ;)

mopping around I seriously doubt Sarah F has done any mopping in her entire life.....moping? Probably....proof-reading...seems like NOBODY does THAT anymore, except those of us who must read the sloppily written articles.

By laughin@stupid

all them coo coo birds going to be at that wedding that not that many people here in the usa care about just the media shoving it down our throats can kiss where the sun dont shine

By Lori

One of the news programs on TLC showing blips at Charles and Diana's wedding in '81, said that the Queen is a Christian...
hmmm...forgiveness??? not for Fergie. It's a sad state of affairs esp. for her children attending.

By Tammy

who cares about Sarah, I would have told Camilla to go hibernate, how dare her be part of William and Kates day, If Diana were still alive, she sure wouldn't be there and doesn't deserve any attention or spotlight. Bar her will ya. She is lower than dirt, not royal at all...

By abeth118

It's too bad that Prince William didn't make it a point to NOT invite his grandmother to his wedding. After all, she hated Diana and was horrible during her funeral. Sarah should definitely attend the wedding with an invitation. What is the matter with that B _ _ _ H who refused to invite Sarah? That entire royal family is a mess and it's too bad that no one can make enough noise to get them out of office.

By joan

Sarah isn't the problem. William and Kate..after 7 years of being together..have been "married". Their problem will be...staying in the marriage.

Funny that Cam mel was accepted into the family after what she and Charlie boy did to sweet Diana. Sounds like double standard to me. I`m sure Fergie wouldn`t want to be , where she is not wanted. Everybody makes mistakes, some are forgiven others are not............................

The Queen truely seems to be something of a Big C.
