Sarah Ferguson Believes ‘Distancing Herself’ From Ex-Prince Andrew May Help Save ‘Her Reputation’

Disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has lost one of his last remaining allies, according to palace insiders.

Months after being stripped of his royal titles and home, the accused ex-prince — who’s continually denied any wrongdoing — was recently dealt another catastrophic blow when devoted ex-wife Sarah Ferguson abruptly “cut off all contact,” Rob Shuter reports in his Naughty But Nice Substack.

“The former duchess benefited from Andrew for years,” a confidante told Shuter. “She lived for free in the Royal Lodge and now that the perks are gone and so is her home, so is her loyalty.”

But Randy Andy’s image isn’t the only one that suffered as more evidence of the former couple’s close ties to convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein, who died in a New York City jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, emerged in 2025.

A leaked email from 2011 revealed Fergie publicly lied about no longer being on speaking terms with the shady financier.

In the message, she apologized to Epstein for saying she’d never associate with him “ever again,” calling the billionaire “a steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”

Though a spokesperson claimed Sarah, 66, pressed send on the eyebrow-raising email after Epstein threatened to “destroy” her and her family, she was quickly dropped as patron or ambassador from seven charities.

The release of the children’s book author’s latest project, Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way, was also delayed and ultimately axed for good, per The Guardian.

Thousands of copies that had been printed for its original October debut were reportedly thrown in the recycling bin.

The erstwhile Duchess of York “believes distancing herself [from Andrew] now might save what’s left of her reputation,” a source spilled to Shuter.

In January, moving trucks were spotted at Royal Lodge, the 30-room, crown-owned home she and the ex-prince, 65, have shared since 2008 — despite separating in 1992 and officially divorcing in 1996.

Following their imminent eviction, sources confirm Fergie is moving into her own home.

As the friend told Shuter, “She’s realized she doesn’t need him or his drama.”

Even though Andrew’s repeatedly insisted he didn’t rape Epstein sex slave Virginia Giuffre when she was just 17, he reportedly paid his late accuser a $16 million settlement prior to her death by suicide last year at age 41.

Unable to escape the dark cloud in England, insiders say the former duke is eyeing a “fresh start” in the Middle East — but it won’t be with his ex-wife.

“She’s out!” the source confirmed to Shuter. “She’s fed up with living in his mess.”
