Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Face Scrutiny Over Finances and Associations
Complicating matters further is Ferguson, the mother of Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
After Andrew lost his royal titles, Ferguson was also stripped of her Duchess of York title, which she had previously used in publishing and commercial ventures.
She has also faced scrutiny over her past association with Epstein, who once loaned her money and whom she visited in New York.
Lownie also questioned how the couple may be financing their next chapter after Ferguson sold a multimillion-dollar London townhouse last year.
“What’s happened to this $4 million from the sale of the house in Belgravia?” he asked. “Has that gone to the girls, or is that basically passed back to Fergie?”
The author further criticized Andrew and Ferguson’s recent appearance alongside senior royals during the family’s Christmas walk, arguing it only reignited public association with the scandal-plagued pair.
“Of course, all that did was remind people of the Yorks and link them to the royal family,” he said, adding, “The one thing I’ve learned with the royals is, they don’t always do the rational thing.”
