Sarah Ferguson is reportedly finding it difficult to deal with the feeling of being on the outside of the royal family.

An insider told to a entertainment outlet that the aftermath of losing her titles and residence, Royal Lodge, has been emotionally draining for her.

Fergie and her ex-husband were stripped of their royal honours and mansion due to their past ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Eptein.

Now, the source said that the former Duchess of York feels that repeated headlines regarding Epstein controversy have reinforced the idea that she is no longer part of the inner royal circle.

"What she is finding especially hard to deal with is the relentless sense of being on the outside looking in,” they said.

“Every new headline, every wave of commentary online seems to reinforce the idea that she is no longer part of that inner royal world, and that constant reminder has been emotionally draining for her.

“There is a feeling among those close to her that she is still trying to process what this shift really means – not just in practical terms, but in terms of her identity and where she fits moving forward."

Another source noted, "There is a clear sense among those around Sarah that she believes she has been wronged by the way everything has played out, and that perception is making it much more difficult for her to draw a line under it and move on.

“Rather than fully processing the situation and focusing on rebuilding, she can become stuck in a pattern where feelings of resentment and disappointment keep resurfacing.

“That cycle tends to reinforce itself, and over time it only intensifies her sense of isolation rather than easing it."
