This was because the former duchess fled the UK after the Epstein files showed that she had been in contact numerous times with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, even after his release from prison for child sex offences. It is important to note that while appearing in the files does not indicate any wrongdoing, Sarah\u2019s past friendship with Epstein is what has led to her downfall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s ex wife was spotted outside the chalet after emerging from a vehicle, with sunglasses, an all-black outfit and a cap on in a bid to keep a low profile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
While Sarah is not expected to stay at the chalet indefinitely, a friend of the former duchess has said that she has been at the chalet for some time, and is \u201cdeeply troubled\u201d about her situation following recent scandals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cShe is in touch, not regularly but still contactable on her mobile phone. I send her messages from time to time asking how she is getting on and she always responds, if not immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The friend continued: \u201cI am not saying she is happy about the situation she is in; in fact, she is deeply troubled. Anyone who has been stripped of all her dignity would recognise that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It is not clear how long the former duchess plans to stay at the chalet for, or what her next move will be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
