Prince William is reportedly angered by claims that King Charles is considering a private financial arrangement with Sarah Ferguson, as speculation grows that she could be seeking a 'hush-money' style pension in exchange for staying silent about royal family matters, according to a source by Closer.

The alleged discussions, said to have emerged in late May and reported on 1 June, centre on whether the King is willing to offer support to his former sister-in-law amid mounting scrutiny over her finances and past associations. Ferguson, 66, was photographed in Austria earlier this spring, staying at a luxury chalet reportedly costing around £2,000 per night. The sighting followed several months out of public view and reignited questions about how she continues to fund a high-end lifestyle, particularly after a series of reputational setbacks.
