Sarah Ferguson<\/a> is set to return to the UK within days after spending months abroad, according to PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

The former Duchess of York<\/a>, 66, has largely remained outside Britain lately. She was last publicly spotted in April, when she was staying in the Austrian Alps.<\/p>\n

The Sun, which first reported the news, revealed she plans to rent a six-bedroom home in the Home Counties outside London for roughly AUD $11,000 a month.<\/p>\n

Her return coincides with several major developments for the royal family.<\/p>\n

Ferguson\u2019s return comes weeks after her younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, announced the arrival of their third child, daughter Adelaide.<\/p>\n

A source told PEOPLE that Ferguson remained in close contact with Eugenie and Princess Beatrice throughout her time abroad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Princess Eugenie said her sons August and Ernest \u201care already the best big brothers\u201d to baby Adelaide.\u00a0@princesseugenie<\/p>\n

Both daughters have reportedly sought distance from their parents\u2019 ongoing controversies.<\/p>\n

Ferguson had been expected to stay abroad as authorities investigate her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, who was arrested in February.<\/p>\n

The arrest followed the release of US Department of Justice documents that brought renewed attention to the former couple\u2019s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Andrew is accused of sharing confidential information with Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy. He has not been charged and denies all wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Ferguson has not been accused of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

King Charles stripped Andrew of his titles and honours in October 2025.<\/p>\n

The former couple was subsequently ordered to leave Royal Lodge, the Windsor estate where they had lived together for nearly two decades post-divorce.<\/p>\n

Andrew has since relocated to the King\u2019s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, prompting Ferguson to make her own living arrangements.<\/p>\n

Her impending move comes just days after Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, returned to Britain with their children.<\/p>\n

The family, who touched down in the UK via private jet earlier this week, have returned as private citizens and are not expected to resume royal duties.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry is scheduled to attend a number of engagements, including the WellChild Awards in London on September 8, in addition to events leading up to the Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham in 2027.<\/p>\n

There has also been speculation Meghan will resume her acting career<\/a>. Their children have been enrolled in local schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Ferguson is set to return to the UK within days after spending months abroad, according to PEOPLE.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":872319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-872318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
