Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson is reportedly in a difficult state following the arrest of her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, on Thursday, February 19th. A source told the Daily Mail the 66-year-old former Duchess of York "sounds in a bad way," suffering with her mental health.
The source claimed Ferguson feels "everyone is out to get her" but is determined to start earning money again. However, her brand is considered "toxic," limiting options. Her potential tell-all book about the Epstein scandal's impact on the monarchy has been ruled out, as she may instead have to tell that story to police and a court.
A second source said Ferguson is weighing her living situation, wanting to be near daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie but also considering a move to the United Arab Emirates. The Daily Mail also reported that released Epstein files included Ferguson, with Jeffrey Epstein claiming he had been financially supporting her post-divorce.
Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, related to allegedly sharing confidential information with Epstein. He was released under investigation and denies wrongdoing. Ferguson also maintains her innocence regarding the scandal. King Charles III stated the royal family offers full cooperation with the investigation.
