The 66-year-old, who has lived at the 30-room Windsor property with her Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 65, since 2008, is expected to move out of the luxury property within months.<\/p>\n
King Charles, 76, has reportedly made clear his responsibility extends only to finding accommodation for his brother.<\/p>\n
Ferguson 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
In an email written to Epstein in 2011, which was made public earlier this year, Ferguson apologised profusely for distancing herself from him after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for sex.<\/p>\n
A 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
Socialite and party planner Liz Brewer told The i Paper that Ferguson had always been \u201cvery personable\u201d but admitted she was currently unwelcome at high-society gatherings.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cPeople, unfortunately, are not brave enough to make their own minds up. She\u2019s in a very difficult position.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ferguson has also been dropped by several charities and media outlets.<\/p>\n
ITV sources told The i Paper she will no longer appear on daytime programmes such as This Morning or Loose Women.<\/p>\n
A children\u2019s book she wrote, Flora and Fern: Kindness Along The Way, was pulled from publication last month.<\/p>\n
Her charity, the SF Trust, has also deleted all references to her former title from its website.<\/p>\n
Friends 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 after her separation from Andrew and in 2010 after a News of the World undercover sting.<\/p>\n
The interview could reportedly fetch up to US$1 million ($1.8m).<\/p>\n
Another 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 66-year-old, who has lived at the 30-room Windsor property with her Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 65, since 2008, is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[25533,74,1558,3588,26526,156,17048,6119,2109,5820,2740,71,2959,173,111,139,69,86753,17182,38630,9855,6967,2935],"class_list":["post-124314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-adrift","tag-after","tag-been","tag-cut","tag-duchess","tag-entertainment","tag-eviction","tag-faces","tag-family","tag-ferguson","tag-former","tag-from","tag-high","tag-lodge","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-ostracised","tag-reportedly","tag-rift","tag-royal","tag-sarah","tag-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
