Sarah Ferguson stepped back from all kinds of spotlight, whether it was her public appearances or social media presence, after her lie was exposed.
The second half of 2025 proved to be a nightmare for Fergie after her controversial email to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was published all over the media.
She called Epstein her "generous and supreme" friend, emphasising that she did not use the P (pedophile) word for him in an interview.
Sarah's team tried to clear the mess by revealing that she deeply "regrets" her move, and it was done out of fear after receiving threats from the late financier. But it was too late.
One after another, charities came forward and publicly cut ties with Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's mother.
Since then, Sarah has also not been active on her official social media handles. After Prince Andrew's title drop, she removed Duchess of York from her usernames.
However, a clever move made by Fergie was turning off her comments section in order to avoid receiving backlash from fans.
The monarch, who has always given respect to Fergie by including her in royal gatherings despite her being a non-working royal, showcased his trust in the mother of two.
But it has been said that the King regrets putting his utmost trust in Sarah after she, alongside her former partner Prince Andrew, portrayed the royals in an extremely bad light.
