Sources revealed to Page Six that Ferguson remains by Prince Andrew’s side even with the recent developement wiithin the royal family. Although the duo has been divorced since 1996, they have still lived together. Ferguson was even able to retain her title as Duchess of York.
Things changed on Friday when Prince Andrew announced he would give up his royal titles and honors amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the royal family,” he shared in a statement. “I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.”
However, Ferguson doesn’t seem bothered by the situation.
“Sarah will always stand by Andrew, she will always have love for him,” one royal insider shared. “Sarah is relaxed… it’s always been a courtesy title.”
The source then shared that the exes love each other and are still a family.
The announcement also occurred just days before the release of the posthumous memoir of Virginia Giuffre, who has accused Prince Andrew of abusing her on Epstein’s island when she was a teenager.
Although he has denied the allegations, Prince Andrew setlted with Giuffre in 2022. She died earlier this year. That same year, he stepped down from being a working royal family member after his mother, Queen Elizabeth stripped him of his military titles and “His Royal Highness.”
