The bomb didnât hit the palace.
It hit the front page.
In this fictional scenario, the British media wakes up to a headline that slices straight through the glossy royal façade: âSarah Fergusonâs Shocking Revelation: The Wales Marriage Is a Political Arrangement.â Within minutes, phones are ringing nonstop inside glass-walled newsrooms across London. Commentators who spent yesterday dissecting the cut of Princess Catherineâs coat are now stumbling over words live on air, trying to process a grenade that, in this story, appears to have been thrown from inside the royal walls themselves.
At the center of it all stands Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, recast here as a desperate woman with one last weapon left to sell: secrets.
According to a leaked pitch deckâallegedly from Sarahâs production team and sent to Netflix executivesâthis fictional docuseries promises âthe truthâ about the Prince and Princess of Wales. Not just glossy footage of Royal Lodge, but a narrative that claims their picture-perfect marriage is nothing more than a choreographed political contract. In this version of events, the Middleton family is portrayed as a wealthy, calculating machine that maneuvered Kate into place, while William is said to have sacrificed a âtrue loveâ to obey duty.

Itâs not presented as entertainment in this story. Itâs pitched as a weapon.
A Royal PR Nightmare in This Fictional World
Officially, Buckingham Palace in this tale has only one line:
âWe are not commenting on baseless allegations and nonsensical rumors designed to undermine the royal family.â
Unofficially, itâs panic.
Because this isnât, in the story, just a wild tabloid rumor. Itâs a structured, strategic attack on the credibility of the heir to the throne. And the alleged mastermind? A woman who once sat at the royal table and now, in this narrative, finds herself cornered financially and emotionally.
Months earlier in this fictional timeline, at Balmoral Castle, Sarah is described as a ghost in tartan corridorsâstill allowed to attend family gatherings, yet always reminded she is only a tolerated guest. Her divorce from Andrew has cost her her last shield. He may be disgraced, but he was still a duke, still a buffer. Without him, her position is brittle.
Then comes the call on a secret âcreditor phone.â
A cold voice, a thick foreign accent, and a brutal ultimatum in this imagined storyline: pay back millions plus interest or watch her daughtersâ reputations burn. The pressure is relentless. The same day, a letter arrives from the Crown Estate announcing the process to reclaim Royal Lodge. In her mind, the perfect heir, Prince William, is behind itâusing the âslimmed-down monarchyâ to finally sweep messy problems like her off the board.
Royal Lodge is all she has left. Losing it would not only be evictionâit would be a public humiliation, a final confirmation of failure.
That night at Balmoral, the contrast is unbearable. At one end of the long dining table: William and Kate, the future of the monarchy, elegant and composed, effortlessly adored. At the far end: Sarah, almost invisible. When Kate later approaches her with warmthâinviting her to go riding, speaking with kindnessâSarah, in her fictional spiral of resentment and fear, hears not kindness, but condescension.
By the time she returns to her room, a single thought crystallizes:
She has nothing left to lose.
But she does have something to sell.
Secrets. Or at least the illusion of them.
She opens her laptop and starts typing an email that, in this drama, will shake the kingdom:
Subject: The truth about the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The War Room Wakes Up
At Anmer Hall, in this story, William is in the gym pummeling a punching bag when Kate walks in, not in gym clothes but in a navy business suit. She doesnât say a word at firstâshe just holds up her iPad.
The Times headline stares back at him.
As he reads the leaked claimsâKate painted as a âbillionaireâs daughter who bought her way into the monarchy,â their marriage described as a cold political tradeâhis anger shifts from personal insult to something colder and more dangerous.
Kate, in contrast, is ice-calm.
âThis isnât an outburst,â she tells him in this fictional script. âItâs a plan. Sheâs not just attacking usâsheâs attacking the legitimacy of your future throne. Sheâs telling the world that the monarchy can be bought.â
Her conclusion is simple:
This is not a PR flare-up.
This is a security threat.
At 10:00 a.m., an emergency meeting convenes at Buckingham Palace. In the 1844 Room, surrounded by yellow silk walls and oil portraits, senior aides, lawyers, and communications chiefs join a video call with King Charles, who appears tired and stunned on the screen. Some advisors urge a full legal assault: sue Sarah, sue Netflix, drag everything into the open and crush her.
William says no.
In this fictional version of him, the Prince of Wales is coldly strategic:
âWe do not sue. We do not issue a statement. We do not give her a stage. Our silence will show this is not PR. This is security. We will handle it quietly. And we will end it permanently.â
He doesnât call Scotland Yard. He doesnât call MI5.
He calls Major James Hemmings, a former covert operations commander turned ultra-discreet private intelligence fixer.
âI have a snake in the house,â William says over an encrypted line. âI need her entire financial picture. I need leverage.â
The Secret Files and the âDeal With the Devilâ
Within this fictional world, Hemmings delivers a slim briefcase to Anmer Hall the next morningâand itâs worse than William imagined.
Not a few million from boutiques. Tens of millions in debts.
Creditors linked to shady casinos, oligarch-style financiers, and, most dangerously, an organization dubbed the Future Republic Fund, whispered to be aligned with anti-monarchy interests.

According to this dramatized narrative, Sarah didnât know who she was really dealing with. She thought they were just generous backers. Now they donât want money. They want something else: a public scandal strong enough to destabilize the royal image ahead of a coronation.
Then comes the real âkillshotâ in the file:
An old contract from the 1980s, described not as a prenup, but as a business agreementâsuggesting that, in this fictional scenario, her original marriage to Andrew was itself a mechanism to repay debts and provide access to the royal circle.
In this story, her entire life is revealed as a chain of transactions, all leading to one final demand:
Attack William and Kate on the global stage in exchange for freedom from the past.
Now, the palace has a choice. Crush her publiclyâand ignite an inferno. Or use the information to force a quiet, ruthless settlement.
They choose door number two.
The Midnight Ultimatum
In a Mayfair law office at midnight, Sarah arrives expecting a lifeline from the King. Instead, she finds Hemmings, a stack of folders, and a simple, brutal offer.
In this fictional deal, an anonymous trust, backed by royal money, will pay off her most dangerous creditorsâthe ones who might go after her daughters. The rest of her reckless spending is her problem.
In return, she must:
- Sign a permanent gag order forbidding her from ever speaking, writing, or hinting about the Prince, Princess, or senior royals.
- Hand over and destroy all documents, emails, and materials related to the Netflix project under supervision.
- Vacate Royal Lodge quietly, allowing it to revert to the Crown Estate.
When she calls it blackmail, Hemmings corrects her with chilling calm:
âNo, madam. This is a solution.â
Faced with gangsters on one side and the full power of the institution on the other, she signs.
Two days later, an unmarked moving truck arrives at Royal Lodge at dawn. She leaves without a word, hidden behind sunglasses, headed for Heathrow. The palace issues a cold, clean statement: Royal Lodge has been returned to the Crown Estate for future use. A spokesperson later insists that âno documentary was ever authorized,â blaming misunderstandings and overzealous producers. Netflix, in turn, says it has âdecided not to proceed.â

The story dies.
Or appears to.
The Seed That Never Quite Goes Away
A month later, William and Kate glide into a charity event, radiant, united, unbothered. The institution, in this fictional universe, has done what it always does best: survive.
At home that night, they share a quiet drink by the fire. Kate tells him, âItâs over.â William stares into the flames and answers, âItâs over until next time.â
Because people like Sarah, in this story, donât change.
And neither does the palace.
In the final epilogue, sheâs photographed on a yacht in the sun with a new tycoon, the same gilded life, just funded by a different man. She has been âsaved,â but never truly free.
And hanging over everything is the question that refuses to die, the one this fictional narrative leaves floating in the air like smoke:
Is the relationship of William and Kate exactly what the world seesâ
or has this entire storm, even as fiction, planted a doubt that can never be completely erased?
