This announcement comes amid an escalating scandal surrounding Andrew, 65, who has been stripped of his Duke of York title and all associated honors due to his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein controversy.

“Sarah will always stand by Andrew, she will always have love for him,” a source told Page Six. “Sarah is relaxed … it’s always been a courtesy title.”

Despite the impending loss of her Duchess of York title, which has adorned the covers of her varied books — from children’s tales to romance novels — Ferguson’s unwavering support speaks volumes about their relationship.

However, the scandal’s timing couldn’t be worse. Just days before Ferguson’s title was rendered obsolete, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, released harrowing allegations against Andrew.

Giuffre, a victim of Epstein, claims she endured unspeakable acts at Andrew’s hands, alleging that he kissed her feet before sexual encounters. “He was friendly enough, but still entitled — as if he believed having s-- with me was his birthright,” she stated.

In yet another heartbreaking chapter, Andrew settled a lawsuit with Giuffre for a staggering $12 million in 2022, though he has always denied her claims.

With Giuffre’s tragic passing in April, the echoes of their accusations haunt Andrew’s already battered reputation. “I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first,” he professed in a statement from Buckingham Palace, standing firm in his earlier decision to retreat from public life.

The ramifications for Ferguson are equally grave. As a result of the latest fallout, she has faced backlash from numerous charities. Organizations such as Julia’s House, a children’s hospice, and the Teenage Cancer Trust have severed ties with her, citing it was “inappropriate” for her to remain associated. Ferguson’s past controversies are also resurfacing, including her admission of borrowing nearly $20,000 from Epstein, which only adds fuel to the fire.

Yet Ferguson’s resilience shines through the chaos. While Buckingham Palace insiders reveal King Charles is eager to separate Andrew and Ferguson from their shared residence on the Windsor Estate, Andrew continues to hold a tenancy agreement with the Crown Estate, unaffected by the scandal.

Sources maintain that “they are a family,” despite the upheaval and the turbulence of their external reputations. Their two daughters, Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, remain untouched by their parents’ controversies; they retain their princess titles by birthright.
