Princess Eugenie 'deals mum Sarah Ferguson brutal blow' over living arrangements amid Epstein scandal
It's unknown where Sarah will live after leaving Royal Lodge last monthPrincess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have reportedly resisted any suggestion that her mother, Sarah Ferguson, should live with them.
Sarah, 66, has been under intense scrutiny lately over her past association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is also facing scrutiny over his past links to Epstein.
Last month, Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The specific details of the allegations of misconduct being investigated are unknown. Following a release of Epstein files in January, Andrew faced allegations that he shared confidential and sensitive information with Epstein in 2010 during his role as UK’s trade envoy.
In January, the US Department of Justice released millions of files relating to Epstein and his crimes. Both Andrew and Sarah were reportedly named in the files. They’ve both denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and being named in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
Is Sarah Ferguson living with Princess Eugenie?
Last month, Sarah and Andrew moved out of Royal Lodge in Windsor amid mounting scrutiny. Andrew has moved to the Sandringham Estate. Meanwhile, it’s unknown where Sarah is living.
But, according to reports, it won’t be with her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, who turns 36 on March 23.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Eugenie and Jack are resisting any suggestion from her mother that she should come and live with them. Because to be frank Sarah is difficult to live with and they don’t want the responsibility of looking after her at the moment.
“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.”

Where is Sarah Ferguson living?
Amid the Epstein scandal, Sarah has been keeping a low profile. Her past association with the disgraced financier has sparked intense scrutiny.
In the Epstein files released in January, emails emerged allegedly showing Sarah gushing over Epstein.
According to the BBC, one message allegedly from Sarah to Epstein in 2010 read: “You are a legend. I am at your service. Just marry me.”
Eugenie and Jack are resisting any suggestion from her mother that she should come and live with them.
The correspondence is said to have taken place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
Being named or pictured among the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
Last month, reports suggested that Sarah had recently spent time in the French Alps before travelling to the United Arab Emirates.
A source told the Daily Mail at the time: “She sounds in a bad way. She’s been telling people she is really suffering with her mental health and thinks everyone is out to get her.”
