Sarah Ferguson left on her own as Palace completely cuts ties | Royal | News

Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been left out in the cold after Buckingham Palace announced last night Andrew will be stripped of his royal style, titles, honours and move out of Royal Lodge. This means Fergie will be forced to fend for herself and make new living arrangements.

In an unprecedented move announced on Thursday, the Palace stated that the former Duke of York would now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and would be required to vacate Royal Lodge, his long-time Windsor residence worth a whopping £30 million. The decision marks the final step in King Charles’s efforts to distance the monarchy from ongoing controversies surrounding his younger brother, 65.

Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have shared Royal Lodge since 2008, despite divorcing in 1996.

The pair have long maintained what many viewed as a modern royal arrangement, continuing to share Royal Lodge while co-parenting their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

However, with Andrew’s lease revoked and his royal privileges removed, it is understood that Sarah, 66, will also have to move out.

The former Duchess of York, who officially lost her title earlier this month, is reportedly seeking private accommodation after almost 20 years at the Windsor residence.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that formal notice had been issued for Andrew to surrender his lease and “move to alternative private accommodation.”

The statement also reiterated the King’s support for “the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse,” signalling a decisive shift within the monarchy.

Following the move, Sarah Ferguson is reportedly searching for a new home after the King’s decision to have the pair vacate the 30-bedroom Royal Lodge.

Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will retain their titles despite their father being stripped of his own following the bombshell Palace announcement.

Under King George V’s 1917 Letters Patent, the right to princely titles extends to the monarch’s children and male-line grandchildren.

As the daughters of Andrew, a son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Beatrice and Eugenie remain entitled to their royal status regardless of any future decisions.
