The bitter royal divide between Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson has taken another dramatic turn, with sources close to the Duke of York claiming her "selfish greed" remains the primary reason for his permanent exile from public life.
The Royal Exile Continues
Despite their surprisingly amicable relationship since divorcing in 1996, insiders reveal that Ferguson's relentless pursuit of financial gain through their ongoing cohabitation at Royal Lodge has effectively destroyed any chance of Andrew returning to royal duties.
A Costly Coexistence
Palace aides are reportedly furious that the Duchess of York continues to profit from their unusual living arrangement while Andrew bears the full brunt of public scrutiny. "Her selfish greed knows no bounds," one source close to the situation revealed. "She's making millions while he faces complete ruin."
Financial Fallout and Public Perception
The situation has created a perfect storm of bad optics for the monarchy. Ferguson's various business ventures and television appearances, combined with Andrew's association with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, have made his return to public life impossible. Royal experts suggest the couple's financial entanglement presents an insurmountable barrier to rehabilitation.
No Way Back for the Duke
Senior palace officials have made it clear that Andrew's path back to royal relevance is permanently blocked. The combination of his own controversial associations and Ferguson's continued financial activities from their shared home has created a situation described as "completely untenable" for the modern monarchy.
As one royal commentator noted, "The door hasn't just been closed on Andrew's return - it's been bolted shut, with Ferguson's financial interests providing the strongest lock."
