Sarah Ferguson is trying to put as much space between her and ex-Prince Andrew as she can.
After she and her ex-husband were pushed out of their Royal Lodge home, the former Duchess of York, 66, is reportedly spending time in the French Alps and the United Arab Emirates as she figures out her next move.

Ferguson has been “getting her head together" during this difficult time, a source told Daily Mail.

“I need to get back to work. I need money," Ferguson also allegedly said to her pals.

Former Prince Andrew was booted out of Royal Lodge home last year.
This new development comes amid the children's book author also wanting to “cut off all contact" with Andrew.
A source told Rob Shuter's Substack page on February 9 how "the former duchess benefited from Andrew for years."
“She lived for free in the Royal Lodge and now that the perks are gone, so is her home and so is her loyalty," the insider said.
Ferguson now "believes distancing herself [from Andrew] now might save what’s left of her reputation," they continued.
Sarah Ferguson's Book Was Canceled as a Result of Her Scandals
Sarah Ferguson's book was allegedly trashed last November and pulled from publication.
“She’s realized she doesn’t need him or his drama," the source revealed. “He can no longer provide her a free home, zero rent… she’s out!"
As Ferguson scrambles for money, her kid's book Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way was pulled from publication in November 2025 amid her scandalous association with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Her book signing appearances and events were also canceled at the time. "It's a mess. The book is unsalvageable," one bookstore told Daily Mail. “It’s an acknowledgment of the inevitable. No one is going to want to buy it."
Any printed copies that have since been produced have even been trashed.
