Ex-Prince Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein soured his image.
Ferguson's past correspondence with the dead star, as well as the former Prince Andrew's friendship with Epstein, has tainted her reputation.
“Sarah has made it clear to those around her she will never set foot in America again,” an insider told The Mirror.
“She is deeply worried about the reaction she would face, whether from Epstein’s victims or scrutiny from Congress," they added.
Sarah Ferguson is worried about revenge from Epstein victims.
“She feels it would be unbearable and does not want to be put in a position under oath where she would be asked not only about Epstein but also about Andrew. It has not been a difficult decision despite how deeply entrenched in America she once was," the source noted.
Ferguson is not obligated to testify in front of the U.S. government because she's not an American citizen. However, Virginia rep Suhas Subramanyam previously encouraged the author to bring forward any info she has about Epstein.
Because of her and Andrew's ties to the s-- trafficker, the former couple was kicked out of their Royal Lodge home last year.

Princess Eugenie is keeping her distance from her mother.
In January, the DOJ released over 3 million Epstein files, where many emails between Ferguson and the financier surfaced.
That same month, she reportedly went to a wellness retreat in Switzerland and has been quietly staying under the radar since then.
While her current location is unknown, it was reported in March that her daughter Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank will not allow her to live with them in the near future.
Princess Eugenie Refuses to Let Sarah Ferguson Live With Her
Princess Eugenie believes her mother is 'difficult to live with.'
"Sarah is difficult to live with and they don’t want the responsibility of looking after her at the moment," a source told Daily Mail recently.
"That’s not to say they are not concerned about her welfare – they just don’t actually want her to be living with them, even temporarily," a different insider noted. "There is clearly concern now that Eugenie and Jack will be tainted by association because of her parents and understandably in public the royals are keeping their distance from them."
Eugenie, 36, and Brooksbank, 39, currently split their time between their homes in Portugal and the U.K. with their two sons, August, 5, and Ernest, 2.
