Sarah Ferguson’s silence since 9/11 anniversary continues despite Eugenie’s birth announcement

Sarah Ferguson disappeared from public life after she and her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, made headlines over their links to Jeffrey Epstein following the release of the latest batch of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice earlier this year.

She had to leave the Royal Lodge, which she shared with Mountbatten-Windsor for years, after King Charles III expelled his younger brother from the royal residence.

The King also stripped Andrew of the prince title before the former Duke of York was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Sarah Ferguson, who kept the title of Duchess of York despite her divorce from Andrew years ago, also lost the title after her former husband fell from grace.

When the former couple’s youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, gave birth to her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank and announced the news on social media, royal fans were expecting her mother to at least react to the good news of her granddaughter’s birth.

However, the former Duchess of York has remained completely inactive on Instagram since marking the 9/11 anniversary on September 11, 2025.

Sarah Ferguson, who had thousands of followers on Instagram, did not react to Eugenie’s Instagram post, signaling that she is no longer active on the platform.

Prominent among those who liked her post were her brother-in-law Edo Mapelli Mozzi and Kate Middleton’s brother, James Middleton.
