Health Challenges Put Ferguson at Risk
Sarah Ferguson successfully battled breast cancer in 2023 followed by melanoma in 2024.
The 65-year-old Duchess of York, frequently labeled the “Duchess of Disaster” for her tumultuous royal history, is facing renewed public scrutiny due to revelations in a recent biography. Beyond the trauma of her healthcare struggles—having undergone two cancer treatments in as many years—her daughters, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, have expressed being “terrified” for their mother.
According to insiders, “Beatrice and Eugenie are extremely anxious. They’ve been cautioned by physicians that additional stress could endanger Sarah’s recovery. Each new headline regarding Andrew and Epstein amplifies their fears.” Another source noted, “They’re trying their utmost to shield her from this media frenzy, as her previous health battles mean that this academic pressure is detrimental to her well-being.”

Reviving Claims Unsettle the Duchesses
Insiders claim Ferguson feels infuriated at Andrew for pulling her into the Epstein scandal.
Recent allegations, particularly from Andrew Lownie’s new biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, have intensified the focus on Sarah’s marriage to Prince Andrew, 65. Ghislaine Maxwell’s remarks from prison indicate Sarah allegedly introduced Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein, a claim Andrew refutes. Sarah, who continues to reside with Andrew at Royal Lodge post-divorce, feels resentful towards him for the renewed scrutiny she faces.
A close source explained, “Sarah is understandably furious with Andrew—his actions continuously embroil her in this scandal. Despite defending him for years, she realizes her current humiliation stems directly from his past associations.” Meanwhile, Beatrice and Eugenie are acutely aware of how this strain affects their mother’s health.

Public Image Versus Private Turbulence
At recent public events, such as Royal Ascot, Sarah was seen affectionately holding hands with Eugenie, projecting a sense of unity.
Although Sarah continues to maintain her public persona, attending numerous events, the mounting pressure is evidently taking its toll. An insider conveyed, “She has worked diligently to enhance her relationships within the royal family. However, any new allegations could result in the King and the Waleses deciding to sever ties with her, which would devastate her after all the effort she has exerted to reconnect.”

Virginia Giuffre’s memoir threatens to reignite Andrew’s alleged scandal.
Heightened tensions loom with the imminent release of Nobody’s Girl, Virginia Giuffre’s memoir. Giuffre has previously accused Andrew of sexual misconduct, claims he has consistently denied. This upcoming publication is poised to revisit her accusations alongside Andrew’s dramatic fall from grace, causing immense distress for Sarah and her family. A source lamented, “Witnessing Sarah endure another wave of humiliation is agonizing.” That said, they recognize her resilience, as she has overcome health challenges, a prominent divorce, and persistent scandal. “The real concern for them is how much more her health can withstand reliable trials like this one.”
