The Crown’s season 5 addresses the Sarah Ferguson toe-sucking scandal of 1992, with a red-faced Prince Andrew breaking the news to Queen Elizabeth.

In episode four of the newly released Netflix drama, titled Annus Horribilis, the late monarch’s youngest son (played by James Murray) approaches his dear mummy (Imelda Staunton) to share his marriage woes – including how his wife was photographed with her feet being caressed by her financial advisor.

In the brilliantly funny scenes, Prince Andrew reveals Fergie’s affair before begging the Queen for a divorce, stating that his wife has ‘had enough’.

‘There’s another one, a financial advisor, John Bryan, with more photographs to come,’ he says.

‘Oh for heaven’s sake,’ the Queen replies, before probing for more details.

Andrew then teases: ‘Oh, you don’t want to know… in St Tropez… doing something unmentionable.’

‘You’re right! I don’t want to know,’ the Queen responds with Andrew quickly blurting out: ‘Sucking Sarah’s toes, mummy!’

‘I know people tell me I’m putting my foot in it from time to time, at least I don’t put it in someone’s mouth,’ he continues.

‘If he was that hungry, he couldn’t have just ordered a sandwich.’ ‘Or some sole!’ the Queen quips.

Fergie and Andrew married in 1986 at Westminster Abbey. They welcomed two daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, before splitting in 1992. Their divorce was finalised in 1996.

Shortly before they separated, Fergie became front page news when photographs appeared of her topless having her toes sucked by Bryan.
