PRINCE William and Kate were said to be horrified after Sarah Ferguson reportedly told pals the late Queen speaks to her through her corgis.
Sources say the Prince and Princess of Wales were left appalled by Fergie’s remarks, which were branded bizarre and deeply tasteless by those close to the family, according to Radar Online.
Ferguson, 66, said the Queen’s surviving dogs, Muick and Sandy, act as a link to Elizabeth II. Speaking in London, she said the barking corgis made her feel the late monarch was still talking to her.
Sources say the comments sparked intense irritation behind palace walls. Insiders say William and Kate, along with others who were close to the Queen in her final months, were stunned by what they saw as a very public overstep.
There was also anger over suggestions Ferguson had somehow been specially entrusted with the dogs. Sources say the corgis were returned to Sarah and Prince Andrew after the Queen’s death because the pair had originally gifted them to Her Majesty.
One insider said Sarah believes the Queen’s spirit lives on through the dogs and that they comfort her and guide her decisions. But while some at the palace see it as harmless, others are said to be whispering that Fergie has gone too far.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are also understood to be worried about the strain on both their parents after a bruising period for the family. Sources say the sisters have been quietly concerned as Sarah leans into the idea of a supernatural bond with the late Queen.
