Her time with the couple occurred during the break-up of their marriage in March 1992.[11] She was said to have left her job after a row.[12]
On 17 July 1993, it was reported that the Duchess of York had won a High Court injunction which restricted Beasant (then Vanderpump) from publishing details about her employment.[13] Like all employees of Britain's Royal family, Beasant agreed in writing never to reveal details about her employees' personal lives.[14][15][16]
On 18 July 1993, it was reported that Beasant had been paid more than £15,000[14][17][18] by Mirror Group Newspapers for her story. The Sunday Mirror were forced to scrap a five-page spread and cancel television advertisements.[11]
