Sarah Ferguson's Whereabouts Revealed After Epstein Scandal Eruption
Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, has reportedly been located overseas after going to ground in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Ferguson has not made any public appearances since it was revealed that she wrote to the convicted sex offender, referring to him as a "supreme friend" despite publicly disowning him. The latest release of Epstein files at the end of last month contained emails suggesting she maintained close contact with him even after his release from prison for sex offences against children.
Fergie's Overseas Movements and Family Connections
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Ferguson has spent time in the French Alps before moving on to the United Arab Emirates. It is believed she has been with her daughter, Princess Eugenie, who travelled to Qatar for an art fair as part of her job with the art dealer Hauser and Wirth. This overseas retreat is said to be an effort for Ferguson to "get her head together" after being booted out of Royal Lodge in Windsor, where she lived with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Planning a UK Comeback with New PR Strategy
Sources indicate that Ferguson is now scouting for a new PR team as she plans to return to the UK, hoping to continue living in the Windsor area. She has reportedly told friends, "I need to get back to work. I need money." However, her comeback plan does not involve her ex-husband, the disgraced Prince Andrew, despite once describing them as the "happiest divorced couple in the world." Ferguson aims to put distance between them, with Andrew having moved to the Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
Public Disgust and Financial Concerns
Another source expressed skepticism about Ferguson's plans, stating, "I don't know whether Sarah is just deluded or desperate. She is 66 and has no home and no discernible income. The public is disgusted by what they have read. And how would she pay a new PR team to rescue her reputation?" This highlights the challenges she faces in rebuilding her public image amid the ongoing scandal.
Epstein Files and Royal Family Fallout
At the end of last month, the US Department of Justice published an additional 3 million pages, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, related to the Epstein investigation. The files revealed emails from Ferguson to Epstein, where she referred to him as a 'legend' and joked about marrying him. One email appeared to show Ferguson refer to her daughter Eugenie as being on a 'sh*****g weekend,' and it emerged that Andrew sent photos of his daughters to Epstein.
Prince Andrew features multiple times in the latest document release, including images showing him crouching over an unidentified woman in what appears to be Epstein's New York mansion. Andrew vehemently denies any wrongdoing. Meanwhile, King Charles has expressed "profound concern" over allegations about Andrew's conduct, with Buckingham Palace stating it will "stand ready to support" the police if approached. Thames Valley Police is assessing claims that Andrew shared confidential reports from his role as the UK’s trade envoy with Epstein.
The reignited crisis has engulfed both the monarchy and Westminster, showing little sign of abating since the US authorities' recent document dump associated with the paedophile financier Epstein.
