Sarah Ferguson is reportedly considering a move to the Cotswolds to live in a granny annexe at her daughter Princess Beatrice's home, following the eviction of the Duchess and her ex-husband Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge. The couple were ordered to vacate the property by King Charles on 30 October 2025, after Andrew lost his titles amid renewed scrutiny over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a report in the Daily Mail on 22 November, Ferguson, 66, may take up residence in a one-bedroom annexe at the six-bedroom house Beatrice shares with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and their two daughters. The annexe, a converted cattle shed, has its own entrance and has recently been renovated with new doors and windows. Propane gas bottles have reportedly been delivered there, possibly for a heater.
Beatrice's main property, purchased in 2021 for £3.5 million, includes sprawling gardens, a swimming pool, and tennis courts. The couple also maintain a residence at St James's Palace for weekday school commitments. Ferguson's potential move comes as Andrew, 65, is expected to relocate to Sandringham in Norfolk.
The eviction followed the loss of Andrew's titles as Duke of York in October 2025, after allegations of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre, which he denies. Ferguson also lost her title as Duchess of York and was dropped as patron of six charities in September 2025, following an email she sent to Epstein in which she called him a 'supreme friend' and apologised for linking him to paedophilia. Her spokesman said the email was sent to 'assuage Epstein and his threats'.
A source told HELLO! magazine that Ferguson supports Andrew's decision to give up his titles, stating: 'She will always support her former husband's decisions and do anything for the King. For her, this will not make a big difference.'
