Sarah Ferguson plans an astonishing comeback in ‘Windsor area’ | UK | News
Sources suggest Sarah Ferguson is planning a remarkable return to public life.
“I need to get back to work. I need money,” the 66-year-old former duchess told friends as she tried to rebuild her profile following the release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Sources say Ms Ferguson, who recently spent a few days with friends in the French Alps before heading to the United Arab Emirates, is keeping a low profile as she “gets her head together”.
She also spends time with her younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, who is in the area due to professional commitments, attending an art fair in Doha, Qatar. However, it is understood Ms Ferguson is now preparing to return and is even looking for a new PR team to represent her.
The mother of two children until recently lived with her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, from whom she divorced in 1996. But he left the Royal Lodge last week, finally confirming his long-awaited split from Ms Ferguson.
Ms Ferguson, who until late last year was a frequent television presenter on This Morning and Loose Women, is now expected to begin reinventing herself independently of her ex-husband.
She allegedly told a friend: “I’m going to have to put some distance between me and Andrew when I get back.”
Ms Ferguson plans to stay in the “Windsor area”, where she will buy or rent her own home, the Daily Mail reported.
However, he faces obstacles in finding new employment because he is also involved in the Epstein scandal.
Regarding her return to the UK, another source told the publication: “I don’t know if Sarah is simply deluded or desperate. She is 66, has no home and no visible income. The public is disgusted by what they read. So how is she going to pay for a new PR team to save her reputation?”
Email correspondence between the former duchess and Epstein reveals that he persistently pursued her to obtain funds to settle her debts and provide practical assistance over a long period of time.
These emails are evidence that he maintained close ties with her after he was released from prison for sexual offenses against minors, even arranging for her two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to dine with him five days after his release.
He also made a humble apology privately for his public condemnation of Epstein, suggesting he did so only to protect his career as a children’s book author. The former duchess told him she was a “loyal, generous and outstanding friend.”
