Sarah Ferguson is preparing for life after Royal Lodge as the long dispute over the Windsor estate reaches its final stretch. With the former Prince Andrew expected to move out next year and the property tied up in repairs, inspections, and formal notices, Ferguson has reportedly begun planning her next step. And according to insiders, she wants to remain in the United Kingdom and settle somewhere she can call her own.
Sarah Ferguson wants ‘own base’ in Windsor area amid desire to stay in UK, says source
A source told The Times that Sarah Ferguson hopes to “stay in the UK” and is looking for a new home “within the Windsor area.” Another source previously speaking to PEOPLE said, “She’s looking for a place in Windsor.” Those close to her claimed she wants a stable base, not a temporary setup or a grace‑and‑favour arrangement, which marks a shift from her long shared living situation with Andrew.
While both daughters have offered help, their suggestions are not long‑term solutions. Princess Beatrice has reportedly offered a renovated annexe at her Cotswolds home, and Princess Eugenie has made her Portugal getaway available for occasional trips.
However, a source told The Times, “She wants to have her own base so that she can live independently and continue to pursue many things as Sarah Ferguson.” Insiders claimed that the goal is independence and staying close to family without relying on borrowed space.
The move comes as Andrew deals with vacating the Royal Lodge after two decades. Though the process has dragged out due to the size of the estate, potential repairs, and the slow handover timeline, the former prince is expected to eventually relocate to a smaller property on the Sandringham estate. Hence, the former couple’s long cohabitation will come to an end.
Finding a home in Windsor would reportedly keep Ferguson near her daughters while giving her the privacy and stability she wants. As the future of Royal Lodge continues to unfold in the public eye, her focus is on securing a new start and a place that is entirely her own.
