Sarah Ferguson’s former dresser Jane Andrews, who murdered her lover in cold blood while still employed by the Duchess of York, is due to hit screens.
One year on since video streaming service Netflix viewers bid a poignant farewell to The Crown after six nail biting seasons, the show’s producers Left Bank Pictures have revealed that another royal drama is now in the works.
The new series will tell the story of Jane Andrews — the convicted killer and former dresser to Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
The new drama, entitled The Lady, is set to air on ITV and follows a “partially fictionalised” account of the infamous killer over four episodes, depicting her life from abject poverty to trusted confidant of a royal family member, before revealing how in 2001, she was convicted of stabbing her lover Thomas Cressman to death.
At the time of murder, Andrews had been a loyal employee of the Duchess of York, Fergie for almost a decade, with the gruesome murder soon earning her the nickname “the fatal attraction killer” in the press.
The Lady, according to to the show’s description, “charts the rise and fall of former royal dresser Jane Andrews, whose rags to riches fairy tale fell apart when she was convicted of murder.”
It comes amid Sarah Ferguson’s ex-husband Prince Andrew’s new controversy as he as been accused of knowing an alleged Chinese spy for 10 years before the Duke of York “dropped” him, it has been claimed.
