Sarah Ferguson and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs had a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement, according to a new Royal biography.
In his book, Entitled, Andrew Lownie alleges that Diddy and Ferguson first met in 2002 at a party thrown by Ghislaine Maxwell.
Following this meeting, in 2004, the pair began what one of Lownie’s sources called a ‘secret friends with benefits’ relationship that continued for several years.
The book, an excerpt of which was published by the Daily Mail, claims the pair would meet in hotel rooms costing $50,000 a night and that Combs bragged about ‘slamming’ Ferguson.
Reportedly, Comb’s own perfume, Unforgivable,was inspired by Ferguson and how she liked a man to smell.
A source close to Ferguson told The Telegraph that the former Duchess of York denies the allegations.
‘This is absolute fabricated nonsense, blatantly untrue and yet another false allegation from him,’ their source said.
The excerpt also claims that Ferguson introduced daughters Princess Eugenie, 36, and Princess Beatrice, 37, to Combs.
Furthermore, it alleges that Ferguson took Eugenie to one of Comb’s parties when she was 16-years-old.
‘Sean’s parties were wild,’ a Royal staff member told Lownie for the book. ‘The fact that she brought Eugenie around was alarming.’
Diddy was reportedly ‘obsessed’ with the Royal family, and a former Bad Boy Records employee claims he once heard the rapper say ‘he could not wait until Fergie’s daughters come of age’.
Metro has contacted Ferguson and Comb’s reps for comment.
