Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s living arrangements in ‘damp and mouldy’ royal lodge
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York and her ex-husband Prince Andrew still live together – but their home is crumbling.
The Duke and Duchess appeared to have it all after tying the knot in 1986 in front of the world. But less than a decade later, their marriage came to an abrupt end. Just ten years after saying “I do,” the couple made the unprecedented move to divorce one another following a string of scandals.
Despite this, the pair are still on good terms and even live together at Royal Lodge on the Windsor Castle estate – the home Andrew, 64, inherited from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother following her death in 2002. Although Sarah, 65, and Andrew divorced – they have been described as the happiest divorced couple and are often seen together at various royal events – most recently, Christmas at Sandringham.
Speaking in 2018, the best-selling author revealed that she and Andrew have their own rooms on different ends of the fancy residence but still take time to have afternoon tea together. She said: “We sit round the table and have afternoon tea together. It’s a very important part of our lives.”
Sarah added that despite their split, she and Andrew remain “united” for their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. She added: “We’re the happiest divorced couple in the world. We’re divorced to each other, not from each other. My duty is to him. I am so proud of him. I stand by him and always will. The way we are is our fairytale. The Yorks are a united family. We’ve shown it.”
Although their friendship may be on great terms – their home isn’t. It’s said that King Charles has been attempting to have his younger brother move from Royal Lodge into the recently refurbished Frogmore Cottage after his allowance and private security detail had been stopped.
