With Sarah Ferguson’s net worth reportedly coming in at just £745,000, it seems the former Duchess would not be able to afford a home in the town she’s called home for over a decade – Windsor. Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been told to find her own living arrangements as her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, is set to move to a property on the Sandringham Estate via private funding from King Charles.
However, a search on Rightmove shows terrace houses going for anywhere between £795,000 to £1.87 million. Sarah Ferguson has a long history of financial difficulties, and had debts of hundreds of thousands of pounds which were paid off by the late Queen after living a life of “opulent excess”.
Fergie, who was married to the former Duke of York for a decade between 1986 and 1996, was bailed out on “several occasions” according to renowned historian Andrew Lownie, including one payment of £500,000 in April 1994 when the bank Coutts “demanded £500,000 within 14 days”.
Sarah tried to claw herself back from financial struggles by starring in Weight Watchers advertising campaigns, selling products on QVC to appearing on TV show, Loose Women.
Lownie, who spent four years researching Sarah and Andrew for his book, claims the ex-duchess spent a lot during her marriage, splurging on staff, holidays and parties.
A former staff member told Lownie that “greed and wastefulness that contributed to the duchess’s financial downfall”, claiming: “Every night she demands a whole side of beef, a leg of lamb and a chicken, which are laid out on the dining room table like a medieval banquet. It’s a feast that would make Henry VIII proud.”
They added: “But often there is just her and her girls, Bea and Eugenie, and most of it is wasted. There is no attempt to keep it to have cold the next day. It just sits there all night, and the next day it’s thrown away.”
It is reported Sarah even borrowed money from late sex offender, Jeffey Epstein, with fresh claims about her relationship with the disgraced financer attracting huge scrutiny in recent weeks.
When an email recently emerged that she wrote to Epstein in 2011, shortly after publicly disowning him in a newspaper interview, many of the charities she had long worked with dropped her.
Several of these charities announced they found it would be “inappropriate” to continue their professional ties with Sarah, who called Epstein a “supreme friend” in the email and apologised for her comments about him.
Her spokesperson has claimed that Sarah wrote the email in question under extreme duress, with the convicted sex offender allegedly threatening to “destroy” her and her family.
