After three decades of being behind-the-scenes while the rest of the Royal Family celebrated their big moments, Sarah Ferguson is back.
Even though she wasn’t invited to King Charles’ coronation and she sat out the first Christmas Charles hosted at Sandringham, she was spotted having a great time with the rest of the Royal Family on Christmas morning.
Her return is said to signify Charles’ appreciation for the way she supported his younger brother during the grilling few months he lived under the shadow of Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit.
However, this whole play may not be over yet with reports claiming that names associated with the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring is set to be released early next year.
King Charles Wants Prince Andrew and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson To Vacate From Royal Lodge Despite Feeling “Appreciation” Towards Sarah
According to royal biographer Ingrid Seward, King Charles is said to admire Sarah for the way she looked after Andrew.
“He always liked Fergie,” she said. “I think being ‘included’ this year is a public show of support and appreciation from the King for dealing with Andrew.”
Despite being divorced since 1996, Andrew and Sarah have remained quite close, with Sarah retaining her Duchess of York title. The two continue to live at Royal Lodge together, albeit in different quarters, and they both remain committed to their duties as parents and grandparents.
However, it seems King Charles is still hellbent on making them leave the Royal Lodge, as he believes that it’s too big for two people to share. And since Andrew is no longer receiving royal funds, he can no longer reasonably maintain the property.
Explaining the reason Charles wants them to vacate from the property, Seward said, “Charles thinks it is far too expensive and a ridiculously large property for one man. The grounds are 98 acres and there are 30 rooms. It costs a fortune to run so, to the green King, it doesn’t make sense. But I don’t think he would throw Andrew out.”
She added: “I am certain Charles feels very sorry indeed for his brother, but he must also know Andrew has brought most of his problems on himself.”
Another royal expert opined that Sarah’s return might be as a test trial, to know whether the public can learn to soften up to Prince Andrew.
