Sarah Ferguson 'returning to Britain after seven month exile as she rents six-bed home'

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly moving back to the UK within days after leaving the country amid the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

The former Duchess of York is said to have started renting a £10,000-a-month, six-bed property, according to The Sun.

She left the UK after being evicted from Royal Lodge in Windsor in February, along with ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and is understood to have not set foot in the UK for at least seven months.

Fergie was stripped of her Duchess of York title last October by King Charles amid worsening Epstein allegations.

Several charities severed ties with Ms Ferguson after details of her continued relationship with late paedophile financier became public on the release of the Epstein files.

But a source told The Sun she now wanted to return to the UK, and hoped to use the interest in Prince Harry and Meghan's return to the UK, to "slip under the radar".

A source told the paper: “She’s had her eyes on a return for some time but it takes time to find the right new house.

“She hasn’t had to worry about accommodation for 20 years as she had Royal Lodge with Andrew. Now’s the right time to get back to her life.

“With everyone looking out for Harry and Meghan she thought she could slip back under the radar after seven months away.”
