Andrew’s properties in Berkshire and Norfolk were also searched.

Princess Eugenie and Beatrice father has been holed up in Norfolk, barely going outside - reportedly on the orders of his big brother King Charles.

However, Sarah has left the Britain and spotted in Austria, the Sun recently reported about her whereabouts.

Now, the insiders have shared Sarah’s reaction on Andrew saga.

Speaking to the Mirror, the close confidant says, “She's been laying false breadcrumbs to stop people following her trail, and very few people were allowed in on the secret.”

The source went on saying but Sarah has seen Andrew arrested and read all the headlines about the Epstein investigations and knows it's a “very grave situation”.

Moreover, royal expert Duncan Larcombe says, "My personal hunch is that it's a public relations move. I don't think she's any nearer ditching Andrew than she ever was and her links to Epstein might have been different from Andrew's but they were still strong.”

“So in other words, it would be pretty... hypocritical if she just said, 'oh how dare you be friends with a man like that' when clearly she's been a friend of the man like that."
