A royal expert suggests that Sarah Ferguson has decided to separate from her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and is contemplating a move overseas. Reports indicate that the ex-Duchess of York is considering relocating to Portugal, where her daughter Princess Eugenie and son-in-law recently purchased a £3.6 million seaside property.
Amid speculations about her future plans, it is believed that Fergie’s departure from the royal family mirrors the events of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s exit in 2020. Author Andrew Lownie, who chronicled the history of the house of York, speculates that Fergie might be exploring other potential destinations as she distances herself from Andrew amid his declining public image.
Lownie mentioned to the Express that Sarah Ferguson seems to be moving towards independence, similar to Meghan and Harry, drawing many parallels between their situations. The biographer also discussed the decision to strip Andrew and Fergie of their titles and expel them from the Royal Lodge, attributing it to public pressure on King Charles to take action against the Yorks.
The controversy surrounding Sarah Ferguson intensified after an old email to Jeffrey Epstein, where she referred to him as a “supreme friend,” resurfaced in 2011. As speculations grow about Fergie’s potential overseas relocation, royal expert Jennie Bond commented on the apparent separation between Sarah and Andrew, indicating a significant shift in their relationship dynamics.
Bond expressed surprise at the apparent divergence between Sarah and Andrew, noting that despite their estrangement, she had always staunchly defended him. The expert suggested that perhaps Sarah no longer trusts Andrew, or he may desire independence.
