The latest development in the story of the former Prince Andrew has a lot of people scrambling. Andrew, who was recently stripped of his titles by King Charles and ordered to vacate his home at Royal Lodge, has now been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His former home and several other places are being raided. And that means there’s the possibility this can get much worse, for Andrew and for anyone closely connected to him
Which leads us to his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. And if Fergie is in the spotlight right now, it’s not just because the two were married and remained close even after the divorce. She is in the Epstein files herself, with document after document proving her close ties to the convicted sex offender. And just as there had been reports that Andrew could end up in jail, there have been some suggesting Fergie could follow him there, too.

But where is she right now? The Daily Mail reports that the “whereabouts of Andrew’s ex-wife and daughters remain unknown” at this time. Fergie has not been seen in public since September 25, 2025, when she was seen leaving the Royal Lodge.
Last year, Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop reported that the former Duchess of York was mulling over a “major relocation” and wanted to escape “relentless scrutiny” in England. However, at the time, the report indicated she might move to the United States, which soon after became unlikely, considering the investigations going on in that country surrounding the Epstein Files.
Other reports from the Daily Mail pointed to Fergie moving into Princess Eugenie’s mansion in Portugal, or even Beatrice’s place in the UK. For now, there’s no confirmation of where she or her daughters are. But it’s unlikely she will resurface soon, all things considered.
This comes after newly released Epstein files documents claimed Ferguson’s former personal assistant “knows some dirty stuff” about her. The former duchess reportedly owed Johnny O’Sullivan a little under £100,000, which Epstein helped her settle after her bankruptcy in 2010.
The Sun reported that one particular email chain from the Epstein files included details about one of Ferguson’s employees, with Epstein asking associate David Stern, “Who talks?” about a negative piece published about Fergie. Stern wrote back, “No idea! Details in the article seem very accurate.” Epstein then replied, “I know she called me yesterday…[J]ohnny blah blah.” Stern answered back: “She is terrified about Johnny. He must know some dirty stuff.”
Andrew reportedly even flew to New York to ask Epstein to settle this debt for Fergie. Other emails have Epstein describing O’Sullivan as a “little s***.” And that’s not all, there’s also plenty of proof that the relationship between Fergie and Epstein was very close indeed. Perhaps as close as the one he had with Prince Andrew, which has already been reported, included alleged criminal activity.
In a January 2010 email, Fergie allegedly told Epstein: “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.”
