A public comeback for Sarah Ferguson would be a mistake, writes Shelagh Fogarty

There is one British figure in the Epstein saga we have not focused on nearly enough: Sarah Ferguson.

We are told she is planning some kind of public comeback. From the comfort of the Emirates, where she has been with one of her daughters on a working trip, she is reportedly considering a return to public life. The very idea speaks to the level of ego and entitlement at play.

I say this as someone who has met her and interviewed her. I found her very warm and very likeable. When I spoke to her years ago about the programmes she made on Romanian orphanages, she was unstuffy and open. She gave a good, normal, human interview.

Which is why, if she were my friend, I would sit her down and ask: "What are you thinking?”

I am not saying she should hide away and never be seen again.........
