In this demonstration of Alan Stakie's own financial (and supposedly, literary) aspirations, the secrets revealed are almost all business secrets. Starkie helped oversee the princess's financial planning, rescheduling her debt and entertaining an amazing array of quick opportunities to turn her desperation into ready cash. The contemplated deals range from commemorative plates and watercolor paintings sold through QVC to tawdry pulp serializations and a miniseries for the telly--even a Sarah Ferguson name-brand nursing home chain. More sensibly, Fergie and Starkie have zeroed in on book deals and a spokesperson role for Weight Watchers. The blow-by-blow of the balance sheet and the marketing of a royal are splayed out here for your reading pleasure.
To the illustrious pantheon of female financial titans that range from Coco Chanel to Katharine Graham to Madonna Ciccone can now be added one more name: The Fergmeister. Readers interested in learning more details about Sarah Ferguson's spectacular rebirth as a self-iconizing entrepreneuse are advised ... to study diligently Mr. Starkie's copiously detailed tome. -- The New York Times Book Review, Joe Queenan
