As Fergie prepares to leave Royal Lodge, the home she shares with ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, for good – it seems she is still looking for new accommodation
Sarah Ferguson will reportedly be overseas in the coming weeks as she still looks for a new home amid the growing Epstein scandal.
Her days living at her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Royal Lodge home are numbered after he was forced to give up the lease of the 30-room mansion after more revelations about his association with the paedophile financier. While Andrew will soon go and live on the King’s Sandringham estate, Fergie’s future home is seemingly still up in the air as she will not be joining him.
It was said she would prefer to remain in the Windsor area – but it is reported she is still without a permanent place to stay.

And according to PEOPLE, the former Duchess of York is spending the next few weeks overseas while she considers her options. There had been speculation that Fergie could go to live with older daughter Princess Beatrice at her Cotswolds home or younger child Princess Eugenie at her place in Portugal.
And with Fergie still searching for a permanent home, The Times reports she may need to “lower expectations” about her future lifestyle. It comes as it emerged that thanked thanked Epstein and said the twisted man was like a “brother” to her, in newly-released emails.
More than three million new pages of documents, emails, photos and videos from the so-called Epstein Files were released last night. Newly released emails showed Fergie gushing over the sex offender after he complimented her in front of Princess Beatrice and Eugene.
In a message sent on August 3, 2009, Fergie described Epstein as the “brother I have always wished for” and even called the criminal a “legend”, in a later email. Appearing in the Epstein files does not indicate guilt or wrongdoing.
In the email, Fergie wrote: “In just week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted. I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me in front of my girls. Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.”
Other documents released last night also showed the ex-Duchess of York invite the paedophile to her 50th birthday bash, at St James’s Palace, in February 2010. Epstein was released from jail in 2009, after serving time for soliciting prostitution of a minor.
Emails, previously released to the public, showed the ex-Duchess calling Epstein her “supreme friend” on April 26, 2011. This came just weeks after she told reporters she would “never have anything to do with” the sex offender again.
Her spokesperson, last year, claimed Fergie said this “in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats” because Epstein allegedly threatened to sue her.
