Sarah Ferguson is reportedly feeling very upset as she and Prince Andrew are set to move out of Royal Lodge soon. The couple has been given a deadline of January 25 to vacate the 30-room Windsor mansion after Andrew lost his titles due to his connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Despite divorcing Andrew nearly 30 years ago, Fergie has been residing at Royal Lodge for a long time. She faced scrutiny during the scandal as it was revealed that she referred to Epstein as a “supreme friend” in a letter, contradicting her public disavowal of him.
Sources indicate that Fergie is distressed about the situation but is prepared to explore new opportunities by not relocating with her ex-husband to his new residence in Sandringham. While she has ruled out moving in with her eldest daughter Princess Beatrice in the Cotswolds, she may temporarily stay at her other daughter Princess Eugenie’s home in Portugal.
In other news, Prince Harry commenced his official engagements for 2026 by visiting fire stations in California amidst the wildfire season. This precedes his upcoming return to the UK to provide testimony in a legal case against the Daily Mail publisher.
Meanwhile, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, a well-loved royal figure with connections to multiple royal families, has passed away at the age of 83. The Zarzuela Palace in Madrid confirmed her death following a period of ill health. Princess Irene was the sister of former Queen of Spain, Sofia.
Lastly, it has been revealed that Princess Diana wore a cowboy hat and engaged in a lasso dance while celebrating with the Red Roses rugby team after a World Cup victory. This anecdote surfaced during a reception hosted by Kate at Windsor Castle honoring England’s women rugby team for their World Cup triumph. Kate shared that her children enjoy playing rugby and cricket at home, with a humorous remark about Prince George not tackling her.
Ellie Kildunne, a Sports Personality of the Year nominee, jokingly mentioned the cowboy hat incident involving Princess Diana during a conversation with Kate. She described how the princess and some players participated in a cowboy lasso dance, creating a memorable moment during the celebration.
