The mother of two was recently spotted in the luxury facility in photos obtained by The Sun.

A source said: “She has no immediate plans to leave.

“Even though her location has finally been revealed.

“The resort has got everything you’d want for a lengthy stay,” they note.

One friend of Sarah’s tells Express: "Sarah is living in fear right now. She's not immune to everything that is happening. She realises how serious everything is, and she is not coping with it.

“She is definitely worried about returning home to the UK and is relying on the kindness of friends to help her through the situation. But she knows she can't keep moving around forever. Sarah feels she has been abandoned by the royal family and has been treated very unfairly. She is at a complete loss over what to do,” they add.
