Insiders suggest that the Duke of York played a pivotal role in encouraging the Duchess to take on her new role, a claim made by a mutual friend of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
Meanwhile, an alternative source implies that Prince Andrew is currently in negotiations with the Crown Estate, navigating a deal to substantiate his financial capacity to cover a £2 million repair bill for the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
An insider, cited by The Mirror, indicates that executives were elated with the positive reception following Fergie's co-presentation on This Morning. "Andrew finds it thoroughly enjoyable and fully supports Sarah. He perceives her as a natural, and her affable nature resonates well with people," asserted a source with insight into the couple.
However, contrasting opinions surfaced on social media, labeling some segments featuring the Duchess as "chaotic."
Sarah Ferguson's recent television appearances coincide with reports suggesting that King Charles has granted his brother permission to stay "indefinitely" at the 30-bedroom mansion, securing a reprieve for Prince Andrew.
During the summer, a dispute between King Charles and his brother arose when the monarch proposed relocating Andrew to the more modest Frogmore Cottage. Andrew rejected the offer, opting to remain at Royal Lodge, which he still shares with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson despite their divorce 27 years ago.
Allegedly, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's mother is poised to step in and help in funding the necessary repairs at the 30-room mansion, aiming to cover the £2 million in restoration costs.
A friend of Sarah revealed, "Sarah has a vested interest in Andrew's continued residence at Royal Lodge, as it serves as her accommodation when in the UK. Beyond that, it's a matter of Andrew's pride. He has consistently stood by Sarah in the face of her past challenges, and she perceives this as an opportunity to reciprocate."
