Sarah Ferguson ‘blown’ as Royal ‘exile’ remains intact

Sarah Ferguson has seemingly received a huge blow as her loyalty towards the Crown gets snubbed.

The Duchess of York, who has pulled out of Christmas alongside her ex-husband, Prince Andrew’s new scandal, had wished to spend it with the senior Royal Family members.

“This will be a blow for Fergie,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively tells OK! “She was so effusive last Christmas and was clearly delighted to be included in the family festivities after so many years in exile. But her loyalty has always been to Andrew and she will stick by his side… wherever they spend the days.”

Speaking about Fergie’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Prince Andrew, the expert adds: “It seems that their daughters were both planning to celebrate Christmas away from Sandringham so that might make it easier for Fergie. This time of year is always complicated for families, especially when grandchildren come along.”

“It could be that Andrew and Sarah will now go to Beatrice’s for the festivities as they are long standing friends with Edo’s parents (who are divorced but at least one of them could be included). Or perhaps the Duke will just stay holed up with Fergie at Royal Lodge, away from prying eyes, and lick his wounds,” she noted.
