A new book reports that Sarah Ferguson had a "friends with benefits" arrangement with Sean "Diddy" Combs beginning in 2004 and that she took her daughter Princess Eugenie to one of the rapper's yacht parties when Eugenie was 16. The claims are contained in "Entitled" by author Andrew Lownie.

An excerpt published by the Daily Mail on Friday states that Ferguson first met Combs in 2002 in New York at a party hosted by Ghislaine Maxwell, according to an associate of the rap mogul.

The book reports the arrangement lasted four years. The excerpt states that Combs launched the perfume Unforgivable in 2006, which he said was inspired by Ferguson and how she liked men to smell. The pair met up in Africa and Europe, where they would meet in luxurious hotels, including one seven-star hotel that cost over £50,000 a night, the book reports.

The book also states that Ferguson introduced her daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice to Combs many times when they were younger. On one occasion, Eugenie, then 16, accompanied her mother to a yacht party weekend hosted by Combs. "Sean’s parties were wild," a Royal Family staff member said, per the excerpt.

com) The report comes three months after the Department of Justice released millions of files connected to criminal investigations into the late Jeffrey Epstein. " to Ferguson, who replied, "Not sure yet. " Ferguson shares her daughters with former Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his prince title in October 2025 and required to move from Royal Lodge in February.

Andrew faced prior accusations of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide last April. He was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to Epstein. He has denied all accusations.

Ferguson lost her royal titles and place at Royal Lodge amid the scandal. " Combs is serving a four-year sentence in a federal prison in New Jersey after his October 2025 conviction on charges of transporting individuals for prostitution. He is expected to be released in April 2028.

Representatives for Combs, Princess Eugenie and Ferguson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
