King Charles may have officially demoted his brother but he’s not standing in the way of a potential royal reunion.
The monarch “wouldn’t object” to Sarah Ferguson moving in with her ex-husband, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as the disgraced Duke prepares to swap Windsor for Sandringham.
With Andrew’s HRH and princely titles officially revoked, Sarah is now facing an uncertain future and possibly eviction from Royal Lodge, the sprawling home she’s shared with her ex since 2008.
“She’s been cut adrift,” one friend confided. “I’m trying to keep her spirits up, but when I spoke to her, she seemed very lonely and isolated.”
Palace insiders insist the King’s sense of duty only extends to ensuring Andrew has a roof over his head but if Fergie were to tag along, it seems His Majesty wouldn’t raise an eyebrow. “It’s a matter for them,” a source told The i Paper.
Still, it appears the redheaded royal rebel has fallen out of favour with the upper crust. When asked if the former Duchess would still be welcome at high-society soirées, veteran party planner Liz Brewer didn’t mince words, “No.”
Looks like Fergie might soon be swapping champagne receptions for quiet nights at Sandringham with Andrew, of all people, as her housemate.
“She’s always been very personable,” admits society doyenne Liz Brewer, “but people, unfortunately, are not brave enough to make their own minds up. She’s in a very difficult position.”
Indeed, Fergie’s social exile runs far deeper than missing out on canapé trays and champagne flutes.
The Duchess of York has found herself frozen out of the glittering circles she once ruled, with former friends and institutions quietly stepping back since her ties to Jeffrey Epstein resurfaced.
Friends told Gb News, the 66-year-old’s lifeline now comes from her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who remain steadfastly by her side.
Still, without alternative housing or steady income, Fergie’s situation is becoming increasingly dire.
Her professional prospects have nosedived too, the British Heart Foundation and several charities have severed ties, and ITV insiders confirm she’s no longer welcome on This Morningor Loose Women.
Even her latest children’s book, Flora & Fern: Kindness Along The Way,has mysteriously vanished from shelves, with her publisher quietly scrubbing her name from their website.
Yet in true Fergie fashion, there’s a glimmer of comeback potential. Industry whispers suggest a tell all Oprah interview could fetch a seven figure sum, while a memoir might command up to £5 million, if she plays it right.
Reputation gurus, however, are sounding the alarm, “There’s no room for her pantomime redemption arc,” one warned.
“She needs to go quiet, focus on her daughters, and re-emerge as a survivor not a casualty.”
