I\u2019m trying to keep her spirits up but when we spoke, she seemed lonely and isolated.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The friend added Sarah\u2019s her daughters, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, remained supportive, as had Andrew. <\/p>\n<p>But Sarah \u2013 who has faced long-standing financial difficulties \u2013\u00a0is said to have few options left over her future accommodation and no permanent alternative home arranged.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 66-year-old, who has lived at the 30-room Windsor property with her former husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 65, since 2008, is expected to move out of the luxury property within months. <\/p>\n<p>\nKing Charles, 76, has reportedly made clear his responsibility extends only to finding accommodation for his brother. <\/p>\n<p>\nSarah lost her Duchess of York title and much of her earning power after becoming embroiled in the scandal surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn an email written to Epstein in 2011, which was made public earlier this year, Sarah apologised profusely for distancing herself from him after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for sex.<\/p>\n<p>\nA source close to her said the email had been written \u201cin panic\u201d and without legal advice, explaining: \u201cShe feared Epstein would sue her for libel. She hadn\u2019t committed any crimes \u2013 she was just hapless. If there was a Second World War bomb in Piccadilly, Sarah would step on it and set it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSocialite and party planner Liz Brewer told The i Sarah had always been \u201cvery personable\u201d but admitted she was currently unwelcome at high-society gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cPeople, unfortunately, are not brave enough to make their own minds up. She\u2019s in a very difficult position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSarah has also been dropped by several charities and media outlets. <\/p>\n<p>\nITV sources told The i Paper she will no longer appear on daytime programmes such as This Morning or Loose Women. <\/p>\n<p>\nA children\u2019s book she wrote, Flora ands Fern: Kindness Along The Way, was pulled from publication last month. <\/p>\n<p>\nHer charity, the SF Trust, has also deleted all references to her former title from its website.<\/p>\n<p>\nFriends say Ferguson is considering options to restore her finances, including a potential interview with Oprah Winfrey, who has previously hosted her twice \u2013 in 1996 following her separation from Andrew and in 2010 after a News of the World undercover sting. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe interview could reportedly fetch up to $1 million.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnother possible project is a memoir revealing her experience of royal life, which could also attract a six-figure payday. However, friends believe she would avoid saying anything that might harm her daughters\u2019 relationship with senior royals, including the future king Prince William.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/sarah-ferguson-cut-adrift-royal-family-ostracised-high-society-1432656.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 November 2025 Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been \u201ccut adrift\u201d by the royal family and ostracised by high society.
