According to celebrity PR specialist Kayley Cornelius, the 66-year-old ought to carefully consider any financial incentive to prevent a repeat of the backlash that followed her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Newsnight interview.

She was spotted in Austria on 16 April for the first time in seven months and is now believed to be consulting friends regarding her next course of action. Sarah is understood to have received multiple opportunities to present her side of the story but has refused, notwithstanding the prospect of a six-figure payment. The PR expert cautions that accepting such an offer could prove detrimental in the long run – as many …

Sarah Ferguson ‘seeking refuge with friends’ after fleeing her Austrian hideaway

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly seeking refuge with friends after fleeing her secret Austrian hideaway last week, following the publication of pictures of her near the resort. The former Duchess of York, 66, was staying in a £2,000-a-night apartment at the Mayrlife wellness spa in Altaussee, near Salzburg. It is understood that Sarah mostly kept to her suite as she waited out the media storm following the release of the Epstein Files, and ordered room service, far away from communal areas such as the lobby and poolside. But after her location was tracked down by The Sun, Fergie fled the spa and is understood to be depending upon her network of international contacts as she avoids the media, The Daily Mail reports. A source told the newspaper: “Sarah has good friends. People who know her well are happy to help her. She won’t be left with nowhere to go.” The ex-duchess is also said to be dreading the prospect of a US subpoena over her links to the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. She was described …

Lorraine Kelly said she had ‘the misfortune’ of meeting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (Image: GETTY) Lorraine Kelly has used three harsh words to describe Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, following several exchanges with him. Reflecting on the notable figures she has encountered throughout her illustrious career, the 66-year-old pulled no punches when she branded the former prince “horrible, ghastly and arrogant”. She said: “I always give people the benefit of the doubt, you know, if they’re difficult or demanding or they’re rude, and I think, hmm, okay, you might be an a***hole, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt now. “If they do it again the next time, then you’re an a***hole and I never want to see you again and go away. “But, I always think you’ve got to put yourself in other people’s shoes, but I do get annoyed with people who are very arrogant,” she added.

Queen Elizabeth’s secret feature Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost in his £30m royal home eviction

Published by Daniella Wilson

There are several home comforts Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to leave behind when he was ousted from Royal Lodge in Windsor earlier this year. After King Charles initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours held by Andrew amid his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, he relocated from his long-term family home, Royal Lodge on the Windsor Great Park estate, to the Sandringham estate, where he now lives at a converted farmhouse called Marsh Farm. While renovated, the new property is decidedly more modest, without 30 rooms and 98 acres of land, which housed a swimming pool, six lodge cottages, a gardener’s cottage and a life-size playhouse that was gifted to his late mother Queen Elizabeth. However, there’s another lesser-known feature that King Charles’ disgraced brother was never pictured enjoying – the aviary.

Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been offered the opportunity to take part in tell-all interviews, but has turned them down. One is believed to have been a chance to interview with BBC’s Newsnight, the same show that broadcasted Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s infamous interview in 2019. It was widely considered a public relations disaster. Andrew sat down for the explosive chat with Newsnight journalist Emily Maitlis. It has since been described as one of the worst PR attempts in history, after he sought to salvage public opinion over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Both Fergie and Andrew deny any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. In the one on one, the former prince remained unapologetic, describing Epstein’s behaviour as “unbecoming”. He also famously claimed he could not sweat because he had a medical condition. The interview was the start of Andrew’s massive decline in the eyes of the British public, it is thoughtl leading to a public backlash and his eventual downfall. Fergie has reportedly been approached to give her side of the story – but …

Sarah Ferguson was evicted from the Royal Lodge along with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and ever since her whereabouts have been somewhat mysterious… There were some reports that she was living with her daughters – and even one rumour that she’d been staying with Priscilla Presley, which Priscilla’s rep said was “totally false.” Regardless, members of the royal family, including King Charles and Prince William, apparently have no idea where Fergie is, and she’s been described as “missing.” “No one knows exactly where she is,” a source tells Rob Shuter. “And that includes the very top.” That said, “She’s not someone who disappears for good. She always comes back. She loves London, she loves society, and she loves attention. That hasn’t changed. She’s thinking about a comeback. And she knows timing is everything.” Julian Finney – Getty Images Despite this, the source says that “It’s unusual that even people close to her don’t know where she is. That’s what’s fuelling the speculation.” And apparently even Fergie’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, don’t have all the details, …

As Buckingham Palace readies itself to commemorate the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, it was revealed that Sandringham would play a special role in the celebrations later this month.  The Norfolk estate, owned by King Charles III after he inherited it from his late mother when she died in 2022, announced it would launch an outdoor exhibition in the late monarch’s memory.  Sharing a nature-inspired reel to its official Instagram account, the East Anglian estate offered followers a sneak peek at the exhibition trail that allows visitors to walk through the former Queen’s life.  The King’s mother sadly died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on 8 September 2022 and it would have been her 100th birthday on 21 April this year.  Against the soothing soundtrack of Soft Sun by Dennis Korn, the video contained clips of various garden displays in Sandringham and showed signposts dotted along a sandy path which outlined various milestones in the late Queen’s life.  The post was shared with a caption that read: “Celebrating the centenary of Queen …
