Outlander has a huge fandom – and it appears that it includes the royal family! During an interview on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, the Duchess of York revealed that she wanted Sam Heughan, AKA Jamie Fraser from Outlander, to join the TV adaptation of her novel. 

Chatting to Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, she said: "The TV series is going to be very exciting because I want Jamie to come out of Outlander and into my TV series. I'm just puttig it out there Jamie! Poor Claire would be upset." Watch the funny moment here…

She continued: "I think it's going to be very exciting and I'm going to win an Emmy." Sarah has been on a promo trail for her second novel, A Most Intriguing Lady. 

So what is the novel about? The synopsis reads: "Wallflower Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott has a secret. Moving effortlessly unnoticed amongst the ballrooms and palaces of Queen Victoria, her sharp intelligence and keen powers of observation allow her to quietly solve society crimes – coming to the rescue of those whose pride and fortune is at stake.

"Overlooked and underestimated, Mary finds missing money, recovers stolen jewellery and saves reputations. When she meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, an unlikely and spirited alliance is formed. But Mary has more than met her match in her sleuthing partner. As she battles the expectations of society and her family, Mary must follow her heart – whatever the cost."

Sarah also opened up about the King's coronation while on the show, admitting that she wasn't going. She joked: "No I'm not actually. It's a state occasion, being divorced I don't think you can have it both ways. I'm loving being divorced to my ex-husband, not from my new husband, just to differentiate."
