Fergie Seeks Transatlantic Escape, Eyeing Move to the U.S. or Portugal

In November 2025, former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson finds herself in a state of flux, as she has recently been evicted from the Royal Lodge, where she and her ex-husband Prince Andrew had been living rent-free. With King Charles footing the bill for Andrew's relocation to Sandringham, where he will essentially live in exile, Fergie is now left to fend for herself.

According to reports, the former duchess has been exploring major relocation options, with the United States and Portugal emerging as potential destinations. Fergie is said to be considering moving to either Palm Beach or Beverly Hills, as she seeks to "escape the relentless scrutiny" she faces in the UK. A source close to the duchess claims that "America feels like freedom to her" and that she believes she can "blend in with every other famous face who reinvented themselves" in the U.S.

Simultaneously, there are also reports that Fergie may be moving into her daughter Princess Eugenie's £3.6 million mansion in Portugal. Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have reportedly prepared a "grand suite" for Fergie, and a neighbor has stated that the former duchess is expected to arrive in Portugal sometime in January 2026. However, the length of her stay in Portugal remains uncertain, with one insider noting that "if it's a long-term move, I can guarantee she'll fit well into the social scene" in the area, which has attracted numerous celebrities and stars.
