Jane Andrews [born 1968 ??] is a one-time Royal dresser, convicted of murder in a sensational trial in 2001 that attracted much public interest, both in the dramatic circumstances of the killing, and in the fantasy-life of the working-class girl who mixed intimately with the rich and glamorous, though officially only as a servant. She is noted as one of the many bizarre figures in the life of her employer Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Early life
Daughter of a joiner, Andrews was born in Cleethorpes, North Lincolnshire, near the seaport of Grimsby, to which the family moved soon afterwards. Having completed a foundation course in fashion at Grimsby College of Art, she worked freelance as a clothes designer for Marks and Spencer.[2]
Dresser to the Duchess
At 21, she applied for a job as a personal dresser, advertised anonymously in The Lady magazine. It was to work for Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, on a live-in basis at Buckingham Palace. The two women, from their very different backgrounds, bonded closely. Sarah even forgave Jane for her carelessness in failing to safeguard some priceless jewellery, given her by the Queen, which was stolen at an airport, though later recovered. Nine years working in high society undoubtedly gave Jane a false sensation of being some kind of royalty herself.
Shock redundancy
In 1997, Andrews was suddenly made redundant, supposedly as a straightforward budget-cut, though Sarah may have seen her as a rival for the attentions of her close friend Count Gaddo della Gherardesca. Either way, it was a bad blow to Jane’s fragile ego - on top of a failed marriage to Christopher Dunn-Butler, an IT expert 20 years her senior, and a tempestuous affair with Dimitri Horne, stepson of a Greek shipping tycoon. However, she soon embarked on a more promising relationship with a well-connected entrepreneur in the car business, Tommy Cressman, and moved into his mews house in Fulham in 1998.
Relationship with Cressman
Murder
Cressman took Andrews on holiday to the South of France, during which time she was expecting to receive a marriage proposal. However, Cressman was keen to remain single and also viewed Andrews as being too unstable to have a family with.[1] He had already explained to Andrews that he didn't love her anymore[2]
