Both Duchesses have a lot in common.
Prince Andrew’s former wife, who herself has written 74 books over the past 30 years, revealed that “to sit down and work hard to write a book, in any genre, should be supported and respected.”
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s mum has an exciting launch to look forward to this year as she herself has written a historical romance novel called Her Heart for a compass co-written with Marguerita Kaye, for Mills & Boon.
Her Heart for a Compass, which will be published on 3 August, is a fictional account of the life of the Duchess’s great-great-aunt, Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas Scott.
The narrative of Lady Margaret incorporates research into the Duchess’s heritage and draws upon her own unique life journey and experiences.
The announcement was made earlier this year, with Sarah releasing a statement which read: “It all started with researching my ancestry. Digging into the history of the Montagu-Douglas Scotts, I first came across Lady Margaret, who intrigued me because she shared one of my given names.
