Andrew is currently facing police investigations over allegations that he leaked business information to Epstein while serving as the UK’s Trade Envoy. He is also confronting renewed claims that he had sex with a woman trafficked to him by Epstein.
A friend told the Daily Mail she has admitted: “When I come back, I am going to have to put some distance between myself and Andrew.”
The reports appear to quash speculation that Sarah might join Andrew in his royal exile at Sandringham. Instead, she is believed to be seeking a new home near her former Royal Lodge residence in Windsor.
Fresh Allegations and Charity Closure
The publication of the Epstein Files has brought further claims involving Ferguson. Among the allegations are that she referred to Epstein as the “brother she always wished for”, told the trafficker “marry me”, and introduced her teenage daughters to him shortly after his release from prison.
Amid the renewed controversy, her charity has announced it will close indefinitely.
Last week, a spokesperson for Sarah’s Trust said: “Our chair, Sarah Ferguson, and the board of trustees have agreed that, with regret, the charity will shortly close for the foreseeable future.
