In a surprising turn of events, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has expressed a keen interest in joining the cast of the hit Netflix series Bridgerton.
Her fascination with the show’s stunning period sets has reignited her passion for acting, as she recently revealed in an interview with Platinum magazine.
This potential career move could stir the pot within royal circles, especially considering her complicated relationship with the monarchy.
Ferguson’s aspirations come at a time when her ties to the royal family remain semi-official.
It’s no secret that King Charles might not be thrilled about her stepping back into the limelight, given the royal family’s mixed feelings about her past television endeavors.
The late Queen Elizabeth often voiced her disapproval of Sarah’s acting career, which only added to the strains in her marriage to Prince Andrew.
This historical backdrop makes Ferguson’s current ambitions all the more intriguing.
In her candid remarks, Ferguson declared, “I’ve asked my agent to get me on Bridgerton.
The set designs are incredible.
I could be a long-lost friend for Penelope.
I just have to be on Bridgerton.” Her enthusiasm shines through, indicating a strong desire to re-enter the entertainment industry.
It’s clear that she sees Bridgerton not just as a show but as an opportunity to rekindle her acting career.
Interestingly, Sarah has turned down multiple offers to participate in the reality show I’m a Celebrity!
Get Me Out of Here!
Despite being approached hundreds of times, she firmly stated, “The answer is always no.” While acknowledging that reality TV can be appealing for many, she seems to prefer a more traditional acting route.
This selective approach highlights her desire to curate her public persona carefully.
If Ferguson were to join the ranks of reality stars, she wouldn’t be the first royal to do so.
Mike Tyndall, the husband of Zara Tyndall and son-in-law of Princess Anne, participated in the 2022 series, setting a precedent that Sarah would follow.
However, her royal connections make her potential involvement particularly noteworthy, attracting even more public interest.
