“She is paranoid her location will be discovered so is moving frequently,” an insider claimed. “She notifies friends of her last location only once she has safely moved on to the next.”
The same source added that she is taking steps to avoid being photographed, saying, “The girls would hate for their mother to be seen looking startled and fraught like former prince Andrew.”
Online Backlash
As details of her clinic stay and international travel surfaced, criticism quickly followed on social media.
“She has no shame,” one commenter wrote. Another reacted to the reported costs: “£13,000 a day, nearly £400,000 for a month’s stay, Wow!”
“A daughter sking in Gstaad, another in Florida, the rest of the Royal Family carrying on as normal. This is not a good look. Spending £13,000 a day is obscene under the circumstances [sic],” another post read.
Others questioned the funding behind her lifestyle. “Cause when you are broke and homeless, that’s the most sensible thing to do,” one person wrote sarcastically. “So who’s paying for this unbelievable [sic],” asked another.
“The sheer audacity of this woman goes beyond measures,” read one comment, while another said, “This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve read about Sarah.” A further post warned, “Who the [expletive] is funding this woman? If it turns out to be the Royal Family it will be a PR disaster for them.”
Fallout From the Epstein Files
Newly released documents from the US Justice Department have revealed email exchanges suggesting that Ferguson and Mountbatten-Windsor maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after his conviction.
A friend in Switzerland reportedly said the former duchess was “absolutely crushed” when the emails became public.
Now, Ferguson is said to be searching for a new PR team in an effort to rebuild her image before returning to the UK — though some question whether she will be readily accepted.
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie has suggested she may have support from influential circles in Dubai, Bahrain or Qatar.
“In Britain, neither Sarah nor Andrew will be socially accepted again, whatever they try to do or wherever they go,” Lownie said. “But in the Middle East, no one will care about what they have got up to.”
