The princesses reportedly have a complex relationship with their scandal-hit father, with Beatrice opting to not see her dad last Christmas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nfOBuVOCysHhj\" style=\"display:none\">According to Page Six, should Ferguson return to the UK, she could face questions from the Thames Valley Police. While there is no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing by Ferguson, she found herself in the firing line over her emails with the late financier when the latest batch of Epstein files were released on January 30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nfOBuVOCysHhj\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cThe police may have a basis for questioning Sarah Ferguson [as] she may be a relevant witness in this case,\u201d a top lawyer told Page Six.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nfOBuVOCysHhj\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cThey may want to ask her some questions. While Sarah Ferguson would not have been in a public office at that time, I don\u2019t know what she knows, and if she has disclosed anything [in emails consistent with her role as an ex-royal and Andrew\u2019s ex-wife].\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"Andrew and ex-wife Ferguson lived together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor up until his eviction last month.
