The Royal Story The Royal Story
Sarah Ferguson has been “banished from the Royal Family in disgrace” and is preparing for a possible move abroad as the Epstein scandal continues, according to a royal expert. Fergie, as she is widely known, was left without both a title and a home after the King removed all titles and honours from his brother — and her former husband — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor because of his association with the convicted paedophile.
The disgraced former prince agreed to vacate Royal Lodge and relocate to a property on the King’s Sandringham estate following the uproar. However, this move has effectively left Sarah Ferguson without a residence, as she had been living with Andrew at the luxurious Windsor home since 2008.
Now, a new report from the Daily Express claims that Sarah’s younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, is getting a room ready for her at a £3.6 million luxury oceanfront villa in Portugal, which Eugenie owns with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, as the former duchess prepares to “flee the UK.”

Local sources say Fergie is expected to move into the villa sometime in the new year.
A royal expert has now commented that Ms. Ferguson was “a disaster” in her role as a working royal, and that in light of her recent involvement in the Epstein fallout, it would be a “wise” and “sensible” choice for her to go “into exile” in Portugal.
He told the Daily Express: “When in disgrace, it can be wise to go into exile. Sarah Ferguson, who has been banished from the Royal Family in disgrace, has reportedly decided to stay with her daughter, Princess Eugenie, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, in their home in Portugal.”
“She was a disaster as a working royal; her debts and the scandals surrounding her became a cause célèbre, but she had an ability to bounce back, which many admired.”
He continued: *“She may well be drawn into further scandal once the Epstein files are finally released.
“The Palace has rightly made it clear that someone so notorious for her shamelessly venal behaviour is now banished. The charities she supported have distanced themselves from her. She would almost certainly be a valuable witness for the FBI regarding what she knew about Epstein’s associates.
“With Andrew now facing fresh controversy as more compromising emails come to light, relocating abroad is simply the sensible option for her. There are plenty who hope she won’t return!”*
