Sarah, Duchess of York, is establishing a separate residence from her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, following recent changes in her royal affiliations and departure from Royal Lodge, Windsor Great Park. The move comes after Ferguson relinquished her Duchess title and vacated the estate, a consequence of ongoing repercussions related to Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein.

Royal Lodge has served as the couple's home since their divorce in 1996. While they remained close, the recent developments have prompted Ferguson to forge her own path. Details regarding the new residence have not been officially released, but sources confirm she is actively building a new life independent of Prince Andrew.

The circumstances surrounding Ferguson's departure from Royal Lodge are directly linked to the fallout from Prince Andrew’s controversial relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew stepped down from his royal duties in 2019 following public outcry and an investigation into his involvement. The subsequent financial and reputational strain impacted those connected to him, including his ex-wife.

Ferguson has maintained a public profile through her work as an author and charity advocate. While the separation marks a significant shift in her personal life, she remains committed to her philanthropic endeavors and continues to be a prominent figure in British society. The exact nature of her future relationship with Prince Andrew remains private, but the separation signifies a definitive move toward independence.
