Sarah Ferguson is finding solace in her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s presence as she quietly marks her 67th birthday after a heartbreaking snub from ex, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The former Duchess of York – who recently returned to the UK after months of hiding in Austria amid self-exile, following her fall from grace last year, is believed to be receiving constant support from her daughters as they continue to “secretly” visit Sarah at her new home in London.
Since losing her Royal titles alongside ex-husband Andrew, in October, 2025 – when her controversial ties with the late pedophile and sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein were exposed, Beatrice and Eugenie have maintained a distance with their parents to avoid any public scrutiny.
However, Royal commentator Phil Dampier has exclusively told Hello! that the Princesses of York have been secretly checking in with their disgraced mother to ease her pain in these difficult times.
"Friends tell me they have both been to see her at her new house in the past couple of weeks. I don't think they want to be seen with her in public at the moment, and she probably realises it's not a good idea either, but behind the scenes they are talking and trying to be supportive."
Phil went on to share, "They're very embarrassed and are obviously sort of reevaluating their own lives and their own contacts and the things they get involved with because they don't want to be tainted by scandal. But I don't think the relationship is quite as close as it used to be, certainly.”
"I think the days of them being the tripod and inseparable have been fragmented. They have grown up and gone their own ways a bit, and they've got their separate lives and separate families,” he added.
This update came just a day after a bombshell report from The Times revealed that Andrew - who was stripped of all his Royal titles amid the investigation into his ties with Epstein, has completely "shut doors" on his ex-wife, Fergie.
An insider told The Times, "The red setter, as she's known, is not welcome at Marsh Farm. She's persona non grata as far as Andrew is concerned."
