So where is Ferguson, who became a royal after her marriage to the then Prince Andrew in 1986?

After four decades as a member of the royal family, she has enjoyed her position, which she used to cover her own nest financially.

But as the fallout from her and her former husband’s relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein continues to haunt them both, Ferguson has retreated from public life.

Despite being divorced for thirty years, Ferguson’s life continued as before. She retained her title of Duchess of York after her divorce in 1996, even though she lost her HRH status.

She and Andrew lived together for many years, most recently at Royal Lodge, located on Crown Estate land in Windsor, where Andrew had lived since 2003 and where they had both remained until renewed investigation into his relationship with Epstein following the release of the Epstein files.

Ferguson was also mentioned, which led to both of them being eliminated. While Andrew moved to the king’s private Sandringham estate – first Wood Farm and now Marsh Farm – Sarah’s whereabouts have remained a mystery.

So much so that “Where’s Sarah?” is a common question among royal guards.

Now The mirror reports that Ferguson relies on the generosity of her network of wealthy friends to keep a roof over her head. This year alone she has reportedly been everywhere from Switzerland to Italy, including a stay in a Tuscan castle, as well as France, the United Arab Emirates and the US.

Shortly after Christmas, she reportedly went to one of the most expensive wellness clinics in the world in Zurich, Switzerland.

Ferguson reportedly spent a month at the Paracelsus Recovery Clinic, which cost AU$26,000 per night.

She then reportedly hit the ski slopes of France before traveling to Florida with her son-in-law Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi, who attended a design conference in Palm Beach from January 27 to 30.

She then reportedly traveled to the UAE to meet her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, who was in Doha between February 5 and 7 to attend the inaugural Art Basel Qatar as part of her job at art dealer Hauser & Wirth.

Soon after, she reportedly flew to Switzerland in mid-February to join Eugenie on her six-month skiing holiday in Gstaad, shortly before Andrew’s dramatic arrest.

Since then, she has reportedly been staying with friends in Britain and is so paranoid about her whereabouts that she is constantly moving and switching phones.

“She won’t inform friends of her last location until she has safely moved to the next one. She wants to avoid being photographed,” a source said.

One place she reportedly hasn’t been is Sandringham, instead determined to keep her distance from her former husband.

She is also unlikely to return to the US now that she has reportedly been asked to testify before Congress as part of an investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking operations.

“She feels it would be unbearable and doesn’t want to be put in a position under oath where she would be asked not only about Epstein but also about Andrew,” a source said. The mirror.

“It wasn’t a difficult decision, despite how entrenched she once was in America.”

One thing all this jet-setting has shown is that Ferguson apparently feels little or no remorse for her own part in her downfall.

The mirror quoted a ‘friend’ of Ferguson as saying: “What she doesn’t seem to feel is remorse for what happened.

“She just wants this all to go away and she can get on with her life. She’s burying her head in the sand.”

The same friend said Ferguson felt “deeply depressed and the world is out to get her.”

“She is very depressed. Some people, including Sarah herself, are concerned about her mental health.”

And it’s no surprise. In recent months, several charities have cut ties with Ferguson, her own charity and six of her companies have been dissolved, and she has even been stripped of her honorary title of Freedom of the City of York.

Ferguson was once a regular visitor to the city and was a speaker at the Global Citizen Prize event held there in May 2024.
