Duchess of York Celebrates Family Moment Without Mentioning the Duke
Sarah Ferguson has seemingly distanced herself from her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, in her latest public statement, choosing to focus on a family celebration without acknowledging the Duke of York. The Duchess of York, known as Fergie, recently shared her joy over Princess Beatrice's second pregnancy, omitting any reference to Andrew, despite continued speculation about their relationship.
Ferguson took to social media to celebrate the news of her daughter Beatrice expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. In her message, she expressed heartfelt emotions, saying, "Darling Beatrice, words can't quite express the joy and excitement I feel as you and Edo prepare to welcome another precious addition to your beautiful family."
Despite sharing this personal milestone, Ferguson's statement did not include any mention of Prince Andrew, a notable absence as the Duke continues to face public scrutiny following the release of A Very Royal Scandal—an Amazon Prime drama focused on Andrew's controversial 2019 Newsnight interview.
While Ferguson remains living at Prince Andrew’s Windsor residence, Royal Lodge, insiders suggest King Charles has allowed the couple to stay at the property, particularly in light of Ferguson's recent health challenges. According to sources, the King has shown compassion by not forcing the couple to vacate the royal residence during the Duchess’s cancer battle, a gesture that reflects her continued respect for the monarch.
