Eden points to the recent public welcome of Sarah Ferguson by King Charles at Sandringham on Christmas Day as an indication of the potential for such a reunion. Despite the collapse of their marriage in 1992, the Duke and Duchess of York have maintained a close bond, residing together in the Royal Lodge and raising their two daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.
Ferguson has stood by Prince Andrew through various scandals, providing support despite the challenges faced in recent years, including sexual assault allegations. While both parties have claimed contentment with their current living arrangement as friends, Eden suggests that a remarriage could serve as a solution to their difficulties.
"For Fergie, it would reward all the loyalty she has shown Andrew," Eden proposes, emphasizing the potential benefits for both individuals. He suggests that for Prince Andrew, a remarriage could soften public scrutiny and possibly offer a route back to some form of semi-official status within the royal family.
"In their crises, the Duke and Duchess have become co-dependent. As she faces the uncertainty over her health, it is Andrew who will be her greatest support," Eden added, highlighting the enduring connection between the ex-couple during challenging times.
