Royal family in the dark over Sarah Ferguson's whereabouts as mystery deepens after Royal Lodge exit

Senior members of the Royal Family - including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - are reportedly unaware of Sarah Ferguson’s whereabouts.

Sources indicate that Beatrice and Eugenie "do not know the full picture" regarding their mother's location, which has become a mystery in the public eye since she and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were removed from the Royal Lodge in February. Andrew eventually moved to Marsh Farm, a residence on the Sandringham Estate, despite allegedly implying the property was "beneath him".

However, little is known about Sarah's latest move, even reportedly among her family members. Rob Shuter, a royal journalist, quoted a source in his latest Substack, who said: "No one knows exactly where she is…And that includes the very top... There’s real uncertainty about how much Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie know….They may not have the full picture either."

The piece on the Naughty But Nice Substack adds to the discussion around Sarah’s location, as her last public appearance was at the funeral of Katharine, Duchess of Kent, in September last year.

We reported this month how Fergie, 66, reportedly feels "incredibly betrayed" by members of the Royal Family amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The former Duchess of York, 66, has faced intense criticism for her past association with the convicted sex offender.

She and her former husband Andrew, also 66, were mentioned several times in the latest releases of the files, and in emails to the convicted individual, Ms. Ferguson referred to him as her "dear spectacular and special friend". Andrew himself denies any wrongdoing.

Mr. Shuter, however, believes the public will soon become aware of Sarah’s whereabouts as she is likely planning a comeback with new projects. The source continued: "She’s not someone who disappears for good…She always comes back.... She’s thinking about a comeback. She’ll resurface, and when she does, it will be on her terms."

But speaking earlier this month, another source shared Fergie’s feelings of "isolation". They said: "Sarah feels incredibly betrayed... Fergie’s very bitter, she’s angry and feels wronged by everyone in the family." They added, however, that they believe the author is too polite to confront anyone.

Fergie, who divorced Andrew in 1996, was not offered a royal residence when she and the former Navy pilot left Royal Lodge. Since Andrew’s move to Sandringham, public sightings of him have been scarce. He has been seen as a solitary figure since being removed from Royal Lodge, spending time at Wood Farm and only being observed on the occasional drive or dog walk.
