According to a well-placed source, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the princess' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 05/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Ferguson for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 65-year-old princess, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Ferguson so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the princess have already been named ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘London Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in London (Sarah Ferguson's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the princess was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Sarah Ferguson Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Sarah has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Sarah Ferguson?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Sarah Ferguson?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
