Queen to "pack her bags and leave" Balmoral Castle after an embarrassing incident in 1992. The Duchess of York was spending the summer holidays at Balmoral with her daughters when a newspaper published paparazzi photos of her in a compromising position. Images of Fergie's financial advisor, John Bryan, sucking her toes were plastered on the front page of
UK newspapers. According to The Times,
Queen Elizabeth II instructed Sarah to "pack her bags and leave immediately", while Prince Philip "never spoke to her again". After Phillip saw the intimate photos of Sarah and her financial advisor, her relationship never recovered, reports the Mirror . Royal expert Camilla Tominey wrote: "He apparently never forgave her for 'toe-gate'. The Duchess had to endure an agonising breakfast during which a 'furious' Queen scrutinised the pictures of 'Fergie's stolen kisses'." Read More Related Articles

Recalling the moment a friend showed him photographs of him sucking Fergie's toes, he said: "I was really quite horrified." The financial advisor mistakenly believed he was sucking Fergie's toes during a playful moment with young Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, describing the incident as part of "make-believe". Speaking on Lorraine, John commended Prince Andrew and Fergie for their approach to divorce, stating: "I think the two of them are exemplary in terms of how they conducted themselves getting divorced."

The Daily Express reports that due to Prince Andrew's
MILITARY commitments, the couple spent little time together in the early stages of their marriage, which is believed to have contributed to its eventual collapse. Join the Daily Record
