Sarah Ferguson is preparing to leave Royal Lodge, the Windsor property that has been her home for more than two decades. However, according to sources, the former Duchess of York is seriously weighing up her option to move to Australia. She is “torn” between leaving the UK and staying close to her beloved family, especially her daughters and grandkids.
Sarah Ferguson ‘torn’ between leaving the UK and staying close to family, says source
After her ex-husband, former Prince Andrew, was asked to vacate his Royal Lodge along with Sarah Ferguson, she has been seriously considering moving to Australia to be with her older sister, Jane Ferguson Luedecke.
A royal expert revealed to RadarOnline.com, “Sarah has always had a fondness for the country, and there is a sense she might encounter a warmer reception there than in Britain right now.” Even other sources cited that “Australia represents a chance to step outside that narrative, regain a degree of privacy and live without constant examination.”
However, Ferguson’s move might not be that easy due to her close relationship with her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and with her grandchildren. As a result, she “feels torn.”
An insider noted, the 66-year-old British author‘s “identity now is bound up with her daughters and grandchildren, and the idea of putting an ocean between them is genuinely painful.”
As per the tipster, she is well aware of the “cost of distance from her family and does not take it lightly.” However, she also understands that “protecting her own wellbeing has to come first if she is to get through this.”
But as of now, Sarah Ferguson is in Britain, contemplating her decision as “status and trappings are no longer the point.” She now wants “a place where she can exist quietly, without feeling pursued by old controversies,” added the source.
