    Sarah Ferguson ducked out of Britain in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandals last fall, but now she’s back in the U.K., and according to one insider, is ready “to tell her side of the story.”

    The former Duchess of York—who lost her title alongside ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in October 2025—lived with Andrew at Royal Lodge for nearly 20 years. But after King Charles evicted the duo, she’s reportedly been staying at the homes of various friends overseas, including her late ex-boyfriend, Paddy McNally.

    Ferguson is now said to be renting a property in England’s Home Counties, and a source told the Sun that the ex-duchess “has been bombarded with requests from all over the world to do sit-down interviews, especially with the big streamers, to tell her side of the story.”

    “She is looking at her options,” the insider continued. “For her, it’s more about retaining editorial control rather than making money.”

    Ferguson was last seen at a public event in September 2025, when she attended the Duchess of Kent’s funeral with Andrew. Although she attended her granddaughter Athena’s christening in December, the former duchess wasn’t photographed arriving at the after-party. Since then, Sarah flew under the radar until April 2026, when she was spotted at a spa in Austria.

    As for a potential TV interview, the Sun reported that it would have to be the perfect fit for Ferguson.

    “Sarah has a tight-knit group of friends and is extremely well connected,” a source close to Sarah told the paper. “She would only allow someone she knew well to tell her story.”
