The former duchess, known for her financial problems and nicknamed the ‘Duchess of Debt’, reportedly left the United Kingdom in an apparent attempt to move away from the epicenter of media pressure.
Despite the the Windsor family kept the official agenda practically unchanged, conveying an image of normality around the British monarchy. However, one absence caught our attention: that of Sarah Fergusonex-wife of Queen Elizabeth II’s son.
Over the years, Sarah Ferguson has stood out for her unwavering support for the former Duke of York, even when he became involved in a controversial relationship with American sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Now, faced with the new judicial episode, the former duchess has chosen to leave the United Kingdom.
Sources indicate that Sarah Ferguson, 66, may be in the United Arab Emirates at this time, in an apparent move away from the center of the media storm. The messages made public years after Epstein’s conviction once again exposed the closeness between them.
Another hypothesis could be Portugal, but specifically Comporta. In 2022, Princess Eugenie, André and Sarah’s youngest daughter, and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, purchased a house in the luxury Costa Terra Golf & Ocean Club development.
The “Duchess of Debt”
Recently, Sarah Ferguson was dubbed “The Duchess of Debt” by a British media outlet, in reference to her well-known financial problems. Since the divorce with Andréin 1996, Sarah’s economic difficulties became recurrent in the press.
Over the years, ties with Jeffrey Epstein have had a mainly financial dimension. The tycoon, who died in 2019, even helped pay off the former duchess’s debts.
In 2011, in an interview with Evening StandardSarah Ferguson admitted to having received around 17 thousand euros from the millionaire to “alleviate” her financial situation, saying that she made a “gigantic error in judgment” and guaranteed that she cut ties with Epstein.
However, documents released later revealed an email in which the former duchess apologized to Jeffrey Epstein. In the message, she thanks him for his support and refers to him as an “unwavering, generous and extraordinary friend” to herself and her family.
