Sarah Ferguson may never return to the United Kingdom lest she wants to be put in handcuffs like her ex-husband, ex-Prince Andrew.
A source told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack in a post published on February 24 that Fergie is hiding in the United Arab Emirates, where she’s sheltered by a wealthy friend who’s offered her security, privacy, and refuge following Andrew’s arrest. “She has gone into the fire,” the insider said. “This isn’t a holiday. It’s survival. She will be arrested next if she returns to the UK.” The source continued, “It’s only a matter of time — it’s inevitable.”
Andrew, for his part, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 19. His arrest came after allegations he shared confidential information with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a trade envoy for the U.K.
Fergie, who was married to Andrew from 1986 to 1996, also has a history with Epstein and appeared in the latest Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which included an alleged email to Epstein about her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
Shuter’s report that Fergie is in the UAE also comes after the Daily Mail reported that the former Duchess of York had left the U.K. and checked into the Swiss rehabilitation clinic, Parcelsus Recovery, which is located in Zurich. (People could not independently confirm the Daily Mail’s report.) According to the Daily Mail, Fergie left for the facility just after Christmas in December and has stayed through the end of January.
“She always feels at home at Paracelsus, and knows she’ll get love and attention there, as well as expert health treatment when she’s feeling at her most vulnerable,” a source told the Daily Mail. Another source added that Fergie, who has appeared in promotional videos for the clinic and wrote an op-ed about it for The Telegraph, has a “strong relationship with Paracelsus, so it was the obvious place for her to get away from everything.”
A source also told Us Weekly in a report published on February 23 that Andrew and Fergie are “miserable” and in “survival mode” amid their Epstein scandal. “They are miserable,” the insider said. “And misery loves company.” The source continued, “There’s no real return to royal life. [They’re] very much in survival mode.”
