URGENT UPDATE: The whereabouts of Sarah Ferguson, ex-wife of Prince Andrew, remain unclear following his shocking arrest on February 20, 2026. Reports indicate Ferguson is “lying low” somewhere in the United Arab Emirates as her family grapples with the fallout from this high-profile incident.
Officials confirm that Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, leaving his daughters—Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie—in a state of distress. Sources suggest one of the princesses is currently with their mother, as they all confront this devastating situation.
Ferguson has been largely absent from the public eye since she and Andrew were ordered to vacate their royal lodgings near Windsor Castle last September. The couple’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have come under renewed scrutiny, raising significant concerns about their reputations. Ferguson was even spotted recently in the French Alps before reuniting with Eugenie at an art fair in Qatar.
A source close to Ferguson described the situation as “catastrophic,” highlighting her emotional turmoil. “She seems to be doing her best to put a brave face on it. Her desperation for money was clear stupidity, but does that equate to what she’s going through now?” the source revealed.
Adding to her challenges, Ferguson’s past relationship with Epstein has led to her removal from several charities, including Julia’s House and the Teenage Cancer Trust. Six of her business ventures are reportedly set to close following the latest revelations from the Epstein files, further compounding her financial woes.
Ferguson has a history of financial difficulties, having sought advice from Epstein in the past. Her public image took another hit when she apologized in 2010 for a “serious lapse in judgment” after being caught in a sting operation offering access to Andrew for money.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams stated, “Sarah Ferguson has no future at all. She’s shamed, and her businesses are closed down. No charity would touch her.” However, there are suggestions that her former royal title may still afford her some social status outside the UK.
Despite the challenges, there is speculation that Ferguson is looking for a new public relations team to help her navigate this turbulent period. “In Britain, neither Sarah nor Andrew will be socially accepted again whatever they try to do,” said author Andrew Lownie. “But in the Middle East, no one will care about what they have got up to.”
As the situation develops, the impact on Ferguson and her daughters remains to be seen. With Andrew’s arrest shaking the foundations of their family, many are left wondering what the future holds for this once-prominent royal family.
