Sarah Ferguson and Colin Firth are allegedly dating and they have the blessing of Queen Elizabeth.
In its Jan. 3 issue, New Idea claimed that Ferguson has always been smitten with Firth.
Since she’s been single since her divorce from Prince Andrew years ago, the Duchess of York felt that now is the right time for her to fall in love again.
A source said that the queen always had a soft spot for Firth and the monarch’s fondness for the actor grew after he portrayed King George VI in the movie, The King’s Speech.
“I’m sure she’d welcome him being with Fergie. She finds Colin charming. She was nervous about him playing her beloved papa, but afterward even she had to admit he nailed it,” the source said.
The insider also claimed that Fergie wants the queen and Firth to meet each other in person because she knows they would love each other even more when they finally get to talk.
“Fergie would want them to meet properly, away from all the pomp and ceremony, if it all goes well,” the source said.
This isn’t the first time that Fergie and Firth were linked to each other.
In July, the same publication claimed that there’s something going on between the two A-listers.
At the time, a source said that Fergie and Firth contacted each other for a possible movie collaboration. Since the former always had a crush on the latter, she couldn’t help but be excited at the thought of the two of them collaborating.
“In Sarah’s mind, there’s only one person she’d want to work alongside on a royal period drama of epic proportions, and that’s Colin Firth. She put the word out through mutual friends in London that she’s keen forth is, and to her utter delight, he has indicated he’s interested. There are rumors he visited the Royal Lodge [at Windsor, where Fergie lives with Andrew] and is also scouting locations throughout Europe,” the source said.
However, several months passed but there’s still no word about Fergie and Firth’s alleged collaboration. This just goes to show that the tabloid is just making up stories about the two.
They also suggested back in July that Fergie has finally moved on from Prince Andrew. But if this is the case, then there’s no reason for the exes to still be living together.
As of late, the Duke and Duchess of York are still residing at the Royal Lodge.
