Sarah Ferguson Allegedly Worried 'Dark Forces' Are Targeting Andrew: 'She's Not in a Good Place'
Insiders say Fergie has grown increasingly anxious about Andrew’s future and now relies on a small circle of royal staff for comfort and advice.
It’s been a tense few months at Royal Lodge. For years, Sarah Ferguson has stood by her ex-husband through scandal, scrutiny, and exile from royal life. But now, those close to her say she has been taken over by fear. Ferguson is said to be growing increasingly anxious about what lies ahead for both herself and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The former Duchess of York grows paranoid that 'dark forces' may be 'targeting' the disgraced royal as life inside the vast Royal Lodge becomes more strained and uncertain by the day.
Those close to the couple say that their living arrangement has turned into a delicate coexistence, The Sun reported. Despite sharing the sprawling 30-room estate, they reportedly live at opposite ends of the house and only meet for meals to discuss their future. “They are both spending a lot of time alone,” an insider claimed, adding that Mountbatten Windsor “rarely goes out and has been padding around the lodge, ranting and muttering.” The once very social Duke now appears withdrawn and irritable, while Ferguson is said to be “panicking about what comes next.” The source added, "She's not in a good place."
Friends are suggesting that much of Ferguson’s worry centers around her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and the uncertain public position Mountbatten Windsor now occupies. “She fears being caught in the crosshairs,” a source said. “But she is particularly fearful for Andrew as she knows he was at the center of the Epstein scandal.”
Ferguson reportedly believes 'dark forces' could still be working against him. Whether these fears have any basis remains uncertain, but those close to her describe a woman struggling to stay composed. “It’s probably far-fetched,” the insider admitted, “but she is terrified and massively on edge.” The stress, they say, has pushed her to rely heavily on a small circle of loyal royal staff who have remained sympathetic through the couple’s long years of controversy.
“She’s really leaning on them,” a friend shared, describing how Ferguson has found refuge in an unlikely spot on the Estate: a private bar tucked behind the Royal Lodge, aptly named 'The Doghouse.' It’s here, sources say, that she often spends her evenings with a handful of trusted staff and friends, unwinding over drinks and talking through her next steps. “She drinks in there with friends and staff to escape from what is going on in her life generally,” a source said. “And while she’s there, she takes advice on what to do next.”
Meanwhile, it has been very different for Mountbatten Windsor. The man who was his mother's favorite, curtsied to, now keeps to himself, pacing through the halls of Royal Lodge and talking mostly to the staff. “He rants to himself,” a source spilled.
According to The Mirror, Andrew has been 'holed up' at Royal Lodge since the latest revelations dropped. According to reports, the former Duke has “shut himself off from the outside world,” spending most of his time inside, keeping busy with odd hobbies. A friend claimed, "He loves games like Call of Duty, war games with helicopters... He really enjoys war films and watching golf on TV."
