Sarah Ferguson is said to be struggling with anxiety and uncertainty following the recent loss of her royal title and official security. According to insiders, the Duchess of York, who continues to live at Windsor’s Royal Lodge alongside her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, has become increasingly fearful about her future and personal safety, particularly in the wake of Andrew’s deepening controversies.
Sarah Ferguson fears she and Prince Andrew could be targets after title and security loss, says source
Behind the gates of the Royal Lodge, life for Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew appears to have taken a troubling turn. A palace insider told The Sun that the former couple are leading “separate lives” under the same roof. The source claims the pair have been sleeping in different wings of their 30-room residence and meeting only for meals, often to discuss their uncertain futures.
Sources claim Ferguson, 66, has been “panicking” about what follows now that King Charles has stripped Andrew of his royal titles and privileges. The same decision has also resulted in the couple losing their taxpayer-funded security. The loss, according to the insider, has left Ferguson “massively on edge,” fearing she and Andrew could become potential targets due to his past association with the late Jeffrey Epstein.
“But she [Sarah] is particularly fearful for Andrew as she knows he was at the centre of the Epstein scandal,” the source claimed. “She has talked about ‘dark forces’ potentially targeting him.”
Ferguson has reportedly been leaning heavily on her household staff and a small circle of loyal friends for emotional support. Staff members say she often retreats to a private bar on the estate, known as The Doghouse, where she opens up about her fears and seeks advice.
As for Prince Andrew, insiders describe him as withdrawn, often “ranting and muttering” to himself around Royal Lodge. The former prince continues to face mounting public and political pressure, including a recent call from U.S. Congress members to address his past friendship with Epstein.
While the future remains uncertain for both, sources say Ferguson is determined to find stability, both emotionally and physically, as she contemplates a life further removed from royal privilege, yet still shadowed by its consequences.
