Andrew’s interim arrest in February 2026 inevitably brought his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson into the spotlight. Their lives have changed massively since then and now take place in secret.
Now new details are coming to light that paint a frightening picture: Sarah Ferguson can only trust a few people and wants to avoid further attention at all costs.
Fear since Andrew’s arrest
As the Daily Mail reports, Sarah Ferguson is currently moving between different locations and is said to be staying with wealthy acquaintances. There is even talk of a kind of “secret sofa tour” in her environment. She was last seen in public in December.
Insider sources describe her condition as tense. A person close to her says she seems “very depressed” and “nervous”. At the same time, she should attach great importance to not being discovered.
Particularly striking: According to the report, Sarah Ferguson uses several cell phones at the same time. An acquaintance describes that she has three devices and constantly switches between them because she is afraid of being followed. She is convinced that people want to harm her.
Her external appearance has also reportedly changed. It is said that she neglected her usual care and appears disordered in video calls.
The situation is apparently still in the context of renewed headlines surrounding her connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, these have caused considerable pressure – also in the private environment.
Her relationship with ex-Prince Andrew in particular is said to suffer as a result. An insider explains that the two are still in touch, but hardly speak to each other. It seems as if they were avoiding each other.
The financial situation also seems tense. According to those close to her, Sarah Ferguson repeatedly says she is “broke”. At the same time, it remains unclear how seriously this statement is meant or to what extent it is a protective claim.
Who still supports Sarah Ferguson now?
Despite everything, she can apparently still count on a network of prominent contacts. According to the report, her confidants include Elton John, Naomi Campbell and Demi Moore.
However, this is probably not a reason for optimism. For Sarah Ferguson, everything currently revolves around one question: “How am I supposed to get through all of this?”
