Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been \u2018cut adrift\u2019 by the royal family and ostracised by high society<\/p>\n
Friends of the former duchess made the claim as she prepares to lose her long-time home at Royal Lodge after she and her husband Andrew Windsor were stripped of their royal titles due to their links to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
A close pal of Sarah\u2019s told The i Paper: \u201cShe\u2019s been cut adrift. I\u2019m trying to keep her spirits up but when we spoke, she seemed lonely and isolated.\u201d <\/p>\n
The friend added Sarah\u2019s her daughters, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, remained supportive, as had Andrew. <\/p>\n
But Sarah \u2013 who has faced long-standing financial difficulties \u2013\u00a0is said to have few options left over her future accommodation and no permanent alternative home arranged.<\/p>\n
\nThe 66-year-old, who has lived at the 30-room Windsor property with her former husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 65, since 2008, is expected to move out of the luxury property within months. <\/p>\n
\nKing Charles, 76, has reportedly made clear his responsibility extends only to finding accommodation for his brother. <\/p>\n
\nSarah lost her Duchess of York title and much of her earning power after becoming embroiled in the scandal surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. <\/p>\n
\nIn an email written to Epstein in 2011, which was made public earlier this year, Sarah apologised profusely for distancing herself from him after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for sex.<\/p>\n
\nA source close to her said the email had been written \u201cin panic\u201d and without legal advice, explaining: \u201cShe feared Epstein would sue her for libel. She hadn\u2019t committed any crimes \u2013 she was just hapless. If there was a Second World War bomb in Piccadilly, Sarah would step on it and set it off.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSocialite and party planner Liz Brewer told The i Sarah had always been \u201cvery personable\u201d but admitted she was currently unwelcome at high-society gatherings.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cPeople, unfortunately, are not brave enough to make their own minds up. She\u2019s in a very difficult position.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSarah has also been dropped by several charities and media outlets. <\/p>\n
\nITV sources told The i Paper she will no longer appear on daytime programmes such as This Morning or Loose Women. <\/p>\n
\nA children\u2019s book she wrote, Flora ands Fern: Kindness Along The Way, was pulled from publication last month. <\/p>\n
\nHer charity, the SF Trust, has also deleted all references to her former title from its website.<\/p>\n
\nFriends say Ferguson is considering options to restore her finances, including a potential interview with Oprah Winfrey, who has previously hosted her twice \u2013 in 1996 following her separation from Andrew and in 2010 after a News of the World undercover sting. <\/p>\n
\nThe interview could reportedly fetch up to $1 million.<\/p>\n
\nAnother possible project is a memoir revealing her experience of royal life, which could also attract a six-figure payday. However, friends believe she would avoid saying anything that might harm her daughters\u2019 relationship with senior royals, including the future king Prince William.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8 November 2025 Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been \u201ccut adrift\u201d by the royal family and ostracised by high…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":556302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[173775,2204,1760,177676,7723,13082,13084,5105,7710,519,448,7717],"class_list":{"0":"post-556301","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-andrew-mountbatten-windsor","9":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","10":"tag-king-charles","11":"tag-liz-brewer","12":"tag-oprah-winfrey","13":"tag-princess-beatrice","14":"tag-princess-eugenie","15":"tag-royal","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-royals","19":"tag-sarah-ferguson"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/556302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=556301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=556301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
