Sarah Ferguson has seemingly been spending summer in her ex-boyfriend’s estate.

The former Duchess of York, who was exiled from the Royal lodge back in February, has been hiding out in Europe at Paddy McNally’s Switzerland property.

“Sarah has been spending time at Paddy’s place in Verbier over the summer,” expert Richard Kay tells Daily Mail. The Swiss ski resort is packed

“You get a few middle-aged people who like walking in the hills, but it’s much more laid-back and low-key,” he said. “A perfect place to hide up.”

”I am not sure that's actually going to happen,” he said, explaining that he's heard that Paddy “took the view that he had provided for her a great deal throughout her life” already.

A source told The Sun earlier: “Fergie has been keeping an incredibly low profile while high up in the Alps. The area is absolutely beautiful and it’s very quiet most of the time, so it’s the perfect place for a high-profile figure such as her to lie low when the heat is on.”
