Sarah Ferguson's Daughters Visit Her New Home Amid Public Distance

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have visited their mother, Sarah Ferguson, at her new rented home in the Home Counties, according to royal commentator Phil Dampier. However, the sisters are reportedly hesitant to be seen with the former Duchess of York in public.

Dampier told Hello! magazine that both Beatrice, 38, and Eugenie, 36, have visited Ferguson at her new six-bedroom house, which is believed to cost £10,000 per month to rent. He suggested that the princesses do not wish to be "tainted by scandal," particularly following the release of the Epstein Files. Ferguson, 67, moved back to Britain after spending time in Europe in an attempt to manage the fallout from the controversy.

"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," Dampier stated.

Ferguson was evicted from Royal Lodge alongside her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, after the Mail on Sunday published emails detailing her relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Previously, she had publicly disavowed Epstein after his 2008 conviction but had privately referred to him as a "supreme friend" and apologized for criticizing him.

The King reportedly stripped Ferguson and Prince Andrew of their titles and removed them from Royal Lodge following the revelations. Ferguson also saw her patronage with several charities, including Julia's House, Prevent Breast Cancer, The British Heart Foundation, The Teenage Cancer Trust, and the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals, rescinded.

Recently, a plaque commemorating Ferguson's association with Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1990 reportedly vanished from the premises, with neither Ferguson nor the hospital charity commenting on its absence.

Despite the public scrutiny, Ferguson is reportedly on a mission to restore her reputation and hopes to be welcomed back by the public. However, a spokesperson denied claims that she is close to agreeing a multimillion-pound deal for a tell-all book about the Royal Family, a report that had suggested a completed chapter-by-chapter plan covering key royal figures. Ferguson had spent seven months living abroad, including in Switzerland and Austria, during this period.

Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie recently celebrated her eighth wedding anniversary with Jack Brooksbank, sharing a video of him with their newborn daughter, Adelaide. Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edo Mapelli Mozzi, were seen together last month at the Cornbury House Horse Trials, an event also attended by Zara Tindall and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
