Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson is reportedly not in a good headspace.
In a Fox News Digital article published Tuesday, November 18, royal broadcaster Helena Chard told the outlet that the former Duchess of York, 66, “is leaning on trusted staff members,” since her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was officially stripped of his royal titles on October 30 and asked to vacate the royal lodge, where she also resides.
“Her nerves are frayed. She is shaken to the core by the loss of her royal safety net. She fears further humiliation and worries that the serious allegations will affect her girls’ standing,” Chard told the outlet. “The couple’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have distanced themselves from their parents’ scandals.”
British royals expert Hilary Fordwich offered further insight into Fergie’s state of mind to Fox News Digital.

“Sarah has made it well known among her staff and others that she no longer believes in Andrew and is preparing to go her own way after years of loyalty and public defense of her ex-husband,” Fordwich revealed. “She’s described as ‘massively on edge’ and ‘panicking’ about her own future.”
Additionally, Fordwich claimed that Fergie and the 65-year-old former Duke of York’s relationship has become strained.
“While Sarah and Andrew are currently both still residing in Windsor, they are reportedly sleeping at different ends of the sprawling Royal Lodge,” Fordwich explained. “They do get together to discuss their respective uncertain futures.”
“While their relationship had long been described as unusually close for divorced exes — cohabiting and supporting one another through public crises — there is now a real rupture,” she added.
As Examiner previously reported, Andrew lost his titles as his connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to be scrutinized. (Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.)
