What do you think Sarah Ferguson will do?

I really hope she does not do that eazybee. Her own reputation would be best served by fading into a graceful, quiet retirement.

We won’t hear more about Andrew, or anybody else involved until the Justice Department releases the files, which they have 30 days after Trump’s approval to do.

She is supposed to be contemplating tell-all interviews, with Oprah at least.
She will be incredibly stupid if she does. I hope her daughters persuade her not to.
So far no more startling revelations have appeared about Andrew,whereas Guiffre is discovered to have amassed a fortune from her damages, yet apparently had not got round to forming her charity. As she did not leave a will her half-brothers and others are scrambling to claim the money from her children.

I have not heard what she is supposed to have done thats wrong so far other than being part of the fall out??? Theres too much gossip about her.

No one mentions her cancer survival. Just saying. It’s a big deal for other royals.

Do you mean a big deal for the King and the Princess of Wales ? just asking

Other royals aren't known to be conniving, duplicitous, self seeking grifters. Just saying.

Ooh, let’s get rid of inherited wealth.
The government are doing their best. Maybe if GN posters set an example as well.

Next let’s not allow dysfunctional families. They should all have their peccadillos publicised, lose their homes and be the subject of endless postings even if they’re family members whose worst crime is to be associated with their parents.

No dysfunctional families in politics!

They are ALL overindulged and unnecessary to society
Have one king or queen and let all the rest live as normal people with normal lives working in normal jobs and living in normal housing that they have earned like we have to
What use are they ? Apart from waving to the minions
They don’t rule the country they have no clout in politics they are just there for bringing people in to the country as is Disney in US
We love to stab them and jump on everything they do as being bad so why do we need or want them
They are over indulged have more money than anyone needs and do little but turn up to regal occasions and wave (they are good at that)

I wouldn’t want to be royal for all the tea in China I feel sorry for them they live a totally unnatural life like the animals kept in the zoo

I do agree :-) And would go a step further - personally I'd rather the monarchy was scrapped and we had a republic (like France not a republic like the US). It's archaic, not the real world, causes dysfunctional families - but that is another whole topic. All our stately treasures could belong to the state and the Royal Family just retire. But that's not going to happen - the next generation are already lined up. The Royal Family are part of the aristocracy of this country that own most of the land (and we don't realise that sometimes). Inherited wealth.

Well I am sorry for Beatrice and Eugenie if their mother does move in with them; they only really escaped her influence when they married, and immediately seemed far more sensible. I thought she might latch on to them as she seems incapable of supporting herself despite earning good money (sometimes.)
Their incomes comes from their own earnings, money left to them in trust by the late Queen, and their husbands; they do not receive any income fro the Crown Estate as they are not working members of the royal family.

The official announcement was that she was trying to cajole him after he'd threatened her family

The "official announcement" you allude to came from James Henderson, Sarah Ferguson's spokesperson, so Sarah Ferguson herself. Given Sarah's duplicitous nature noone can believe a word she, or her "spokesperson" ever says, official or not.

I think she is distancing herself from Andrew because she suspects there are more horrors to come about him, which don’t involve her. I would do the same in those circumstances, I could not live in the same house. I don’t think she should be condemned on that account. I doubt she sees going to Portugal as a long term solution, but it will give her some breathing space until the furore dies down in the UK.

The weather in Portugal? Much better for the aging body?

Sarah was living in Royal Lodge when Epstein and Maxwell stayed there,
She didn’t want to continue living in the same accommodation with Andrew because she wants to reinvent herself again?

Gentleshores , thankyou for your last post giving some explanation. I've also been wondering why they are separating . They obviously still care about each other and after all these years am sure they know the good and the bad . Both used Epstein and also I'm guessing to the extent of emails and fake friendship because he could bail them out financially . Has Charles stipulated that A and S must live apart ? And if so why ? Sarah is no worse than A in being a friend to Epstein they are both users . I'm sure S knows all about Andrews past when he was single and divorced . Possibly not to the extent and we now know young girls and the whole awful truth . So , I'm not sure why they must separate, why can't they just go somewhere together. Or is it S is so appalled at the Truth .?

Oh great and I hope Sarah is very happy there. The End.

No idea - varying accounts. Some say a "suite" within their luxury villa. Also sounds like she'll be living with them as apparently Eugenie and husband live there quite a long and flit between there and their Royal cottage.

You know how many rooms in the villa ?

In other words she'll have a room and bathroom in her daugher's holiday home by the sound of it.

If this is correct it looks like she's going to be staying in a Villa in Portugal owned by one of her daughters' husbands.

8 hours ago:

"They claim a guest suite is being prepared for her at a £3.6 million luxury oceanfront villa in Portugal owned by her daughter Princess Eugenie and her businessman husband, Jack Brooksbank.

One wealthy neighbour of the gated Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club in Melides, 82 miles south of Lisbon, said: “The word here is that Fergie will be arriving sometime in January."

But it's the Daily Express so ...............

Either way I wonder what the Queen would have done - she was fond of both of them.

When I started this post I didn't realise how much hatred Sarah Ferguson would get! And I agree you can't believe media descriptions of her. The recently published email from 14 years ago has been a major catastrophe for her - losing patronages and book deals. And I'm not condoning anything at all - but like so many media things they can often be taken out of context. The official announcement was that she was trying to cajole him after he'd threatened her family.

They both got themselves into a mess with the historic association with Epstein. My own theory is that Andrew was a divorced unhappy, footless and fancy free man with no money and enjoyed the company and parties and freebies of rich and famous people. Many of them are probably dodgy. Epstein wasn't known to be dodgy at that time.

That when Sarah and he started living together again I believe it was partly to co parent, and partly because she was in such a huge financial mess owing millions, after their divorce, despite her own earnings (and yes maybe leading to extravagant a lifestyle) and he got more involved with various people to help her pay these debts off. I only have a vague memory of that being the case at the time that he was helping her out. And then it became a thing - living together separately. It was clearly more than just separated parents sharing a house by the things she said about him publicly and clearly still loved him and was loyal to him.

And suddenly all that has changed. Initially they were asking for two houses nearby on the Royal Estate, now it seems they are separating for a second time and going their separate ways.

No idea what has caused that - is it the King wanting Andrew to distance himself from her because of the email published - ie distance the royal family from her. Is it Sarah herself perhaps having doubts about Andrew as more stuff comes out. Is it that their children are no grown up and married, the lease had to come to an end and the whole combination of everything meant their worlds had changed?

Either way Andrew has been given a home on the Sandringham estate and Sarah is on her own. No legal connection to the Royal Family (other than being Mother to Charles's neices).

I do think she has been foolish at times and lived a life beyond her means. However I don't envy her situation - at 66 or whatever it is, to have to try and start all over again on her own.

I believe neither Andrew nor Sarah have any real money - his income is about £20,000 a year naval pension - maybe the King gives him some funds as well. Maybe he inherited money from his Mother the late Queen but we don't know. All we know about Sarah is her dodgy dealings due to her extreme financial problems.

And now she will have bigger ones if everyone has dropped her due to the recent publication of that email.

Maybe she does have friends and a good PR team. The media is full of it but only that she is basically being evicted and doesn't know where she is going. Can't be nice.

I do agree with some posters that their association with Epstein AFTER he had been charged, was atrocious. But there has also been mention that maybe they were being blackmailed. Some US spokesman mentioned it. That may or may not be anything - but they became mangled financially and got into a mess. As if their bank manager was a convicted paedophile and they still had to deal with paying a loan.

Dispute this ignominious fall from grace, which she I’d imagine, didn’t see coming, is the type of personality to find a gap, gilded and/or beneficial to wedge herself into quite successfully. And if someone else is footing the bill, so much the better.

If it were me I’d go to ground for a good couple of years, but then our expectations & temperaments are rather different!

She has always needed the cameras
