Than the British court could simply sent a legal representation to the publisher threatning to sue. Still out of respect of her daughters she should not have allowed it.

: I don't think the problem is with Sarah, as
: she uses Sarah Ferguson. The majority sales
: of her books are in the United States, so
: her publishers are going for maximum
: publicity as the fascination with royalty
: and so add 'the Duchess of York'. Plain
: Sarah Ferguson doesn't have the same
: publicity value when looking at selling as
: many books as possible.

: The THE should be left out. Technically too
: she's Sarah,Duchess of York or Sarah
: Ferguson. Not the both mixed together, she
: refers to herself as Sarah Ferguson (going
: by the way she's credited in Young Victoria,
: and also at a recent public speaking
: engagement where her name tag on the table
: infront of her says Sarah Ferguson.) I
: assume her marketing people prefer the
: Duchess of York moniker as there's the cache
: of a tenuous royal link.

: I was always under the impression that since
: the divorce Sarah was Sarah Ferguson,
: duchess of York. She is however listed on
: both bookcovers as Sarah Ferguson, the
: duchess of York.
: So my question is if the addition THE is
: correct or should be left out?
