According to The Daily Mail, Sarah Ferguson is being seen more and more often in the UAE, and in British circles there is talk of her moving to the Middle East. The newspaper notes that after revealing ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the former Duchess and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, faced social exclusion at home, which is why Ferguson’s choice was allegedly dictated by a desire to find places where her status and connections still open doors.
The author of the article quotes royal biographer Andrew Loney, who speculates that affluent people in Dubai, Qatar and Bahrain may be willing to support Fergie – from providing housing to financial assistance. It is also reported that members of the royal family themselves and their entourage have long had professional and personal contacts in the region: not infrequently, both Prince Andrew and his daughters appear there, giving rise to speculation of a possible relocation.
The report notes that the Middle East is seen by some as a “haven” for those who have lost support in western society and that in the Gulf countries the same importance is not always given to the scandals alleged by the British press. However, The Daily Mail notes that many details are currently based on testimonies from friends and experts, and there is no official confirmation of a major move.
