Sarah Ferguson and her ex-husband Prince Andrew are spending their final days together at Royal Lodge, the 30-room Windsor mansion they must vacate by the New Year. Buckingham Palace confirmed that Andrew will lose his royal status and the property, while Ferguson has been told to arrange her own living arrangements.
According to a source, the former couple live in separate wings of the house and lead "separate lives" under one roof, but still meet for meals to discuss the fallout and future plans. Andrew is said to spend much of his time wandering and ranting to himself, while Ferguson often pours her heart out to staff or friends in a bar on site called "The Dog House."
The scandal deepened after newly leaked emails revealed that Ferguson and Andrew continued correspondence with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein longer than previously claimed. Ferguson has also faced scrutiny over allegations that she took her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to visit Epstein after his release from prison—a claim her team denies, saying neither she nor her daughters recall such a visit.
Ferguson sees herself as "blameless" despite having borrowed money from Epstein and called him a "supreme friend," the source claimed. She believes Andrew is a good person and will always support him, but knows her future lies away from him. It is unclear where Ferguson will live after leaving Royal Lodge; some reports suggest she may move abroad, as invitations for royal engagements have "dried up overnight."
