- Sarah Ferguson is expected to return to the UK soon and rent a six-bedroom home in the Home Counties.
- She has been living in seclusion at an Alpine chalet in Switzerland since leaving Royal Lodge.
- Her return follows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's recent move back to Britain.
Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is reportedly preparing for her return to the United Kingdom shortly. Sources indicate she is expected to move into a six-bedroom house in the Home Counties "imminently," with the possibility of her return occurring as early as next week.
Since departing Royal Lodge, Ferguson has maintained a low profile, reportedly spending her time at an Alpine chalet in Verbier, Switzerland. Her belongings were recently collected from the Mountbatten-Windsor family home in Sandringham, signaling her impending departure from Switzerland.
Ferguson has largely stayed out of the public eye since she and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, faced scrutiny over their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Following the release of documents shedding new light on their relationship, Ferguson faced calls to cooperate with U.S. authorities. She had previously held a courtesy royal title but reverted to her maiden name after the scandal, and also lost the freedom of the city of York.
Her expected return to Britain comes just days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, returned to the UK with their children to begin a new life after six years in the United States. The timing of Ferguson's return, following the Sussexes' relocation, marks a notable period of activity for members of the extended royal family.
