Sarah Ferguson Is ‘Utterly Desperate’ as She Turns to Daughters for Help Amid Money Woes

Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson is said to be struggling financially amid her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s legal woes, and a source tells Examiner that she’s turning to daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice for help.

“Sarah is utterly desperate. Her credit cards are maxed out and the so-called friends who always said they’d be there for her are scared to go near her as she’s so radioactive,” the source says. “Relying on Andrew is a non-option, too, as they’re on terrible terms right now. Suffice to say none of the royals are willing to step up and help.

The source claims the situation has placed Eugenie, 37, and Beatrice, 36, in a difficult position as they navigate how to support their mother.

“Her options are extremely limited and she’s relying on Eugenie and Beatrice as a last resort. It’s put them in a terrible, no-win situation,” the source continues. “Of course, they still love their mother deeply and worry about her, but the last thing they need right now is to be aligned with her.”

The source adds that there’s “no way” the situation with Fergie, 65, “wouldn’t blow up in their faces” if her two daughters offered up a place for her to stay.

“Sarah’s piling on the pressure saying she’ll repay them tenfold once her book advance and TV deal comes through,” the source shares. “But for the girls it’s not about money. Ideally, they’d loan her funds but no way would Edo or Jack sanction that, so it’s an epic mess that’s causing them no end of anxiety and stress.”

As Examiner previously reported, the former Duchess of York has been having trouble finding a place to stay since she and Andrew, 66, were evicted from the Royal Lodge, according to Page Six.

The two were given the boot after Andrew’s connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came to light.

“Everyone’s telling her that now’s not a good time,” a source told Page Six on March 4. “A lot of people actually really like her, but being associated with anyone associated with Epstein just isn’t wise right now.”

A little over two weeks after they were evicted, Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his communication with the late Epstein during his role as a trade envoy. He was released after less than 12 hours in jail.

Andrew and Fergie have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
