Sarah Ferguson news: Senior royals and possibly even her two daughters Beatrice and Eugenie don’t know where Fergie is

The whereabouts of Sarah Fergusonthe former Duchess of York, is being kept hidden from leading members of the royal family, including the king and his heir Prince William.

And her disappearance from the public eye this year is so complete that even her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugeniemay not know exactly where she is from week to week, claims a New York-based gossip columnist who often covers the royal family.

Ferguson has effectively ‘missed’ from the public eye this year after her close ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were further exposed during the publication of the so-called Epstein Files.

Now Rob Shuter is quoting a source who claims no one in the royal family has “the full picture” of her whereabouts.

Shuter spoke to a source about this Naughty but fun substack this week when he asked the question, “Where in the world is Sarah Ferguson?”

“Nobody knows exactly where she is,” the source saidNaughty but nice. ‘And that also includes the top.

‘There is real uncertainty about how much Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie know. Maybe they don’t have the full picture either.

“It’s unusual that even people close to her don’t know where she is. That fuels the speculation.”

However, the same source said that those close to her did not panic.

“She’s not one to disappear for good,” they said. ‘She always comes back.

The source added that Ferguson was “thinking about a comeback” but knows that “timing is everything.”

But what she would do next is anyone’s guess.

Since news broke late last year that her ties to her “supreme friend” Epstein were much deeper and lasted much longer than previously stated, she has become radioactive.

Since then, 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.

Earlier this year, gushing emails came to light showing that Ferguson, then known as the Duchess of York, continued to maintain a close relationship with the sex offender, years after she said she had cut ties with him.

Emails released by the US Department of Justice also mentioned Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie in correspondence between Ferguson and Epstein.

One email from their mother to Epstein was sent in July 2009, just five days after he was released from prison, to arrange lunch with him for herself and her daughters.

Ferguson, who lost her title of Duchess of York in October 2025 at the same time her former husband was stripped of his titles and HRH status, has not been seen in public since December 12, 2025, when she was seen at the christening of her youngest grandchild, Athena, the daughter of Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi.

Her last royal appearance was at the funeral of Katharine, Duchess of Kent, in September.

She has since moved out of the home she shared with her former husband and has traveled extensively.

She reportedly checked into one of the world’s most expensive wellness clinics in Zurich, Switzerland, for a month-long stay before Christmas.

She was then believed to 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.

Shortly afterwards, rumors spread that she had flown to Switzerland in mid-February to join Eugenie for her six-month ski 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 whenever she goes out that she constantly moves and switches phones to avoid being photographed.

There are now claims that she will move out of her former husband’s new home in Sandringham and is unlikely to return to the US for fear she could be ordered to testify before Congress as part of an investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking operations.

She has not posted to her Instagram account since September 2025, when she paid tribute to the victims of the September 11 attack.
