Sarah Ferguson Reportedly Returning Back Into UK to Rent a Fancy £10k-a-Month Gated Property

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly returning to the United Kingdom to rent a six-bedroom gated property in the Home Counties at around £10,000 a month, with removal vans already collecting her belongings from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's Marsh Farm residence this week.

The former Duchess of York, 66, is said to be moving into the new house as soon as Monday, ending a reported seven-month period abroad that began after her eviction from Royal Lodge in February.

Ferguson and Andrew subsequently left Royal Lodge in Windsor after Buckingham Palace announced in October 2025 that King Charles had initiated a formal process to remove Andrew's style, titles and honours and that notice had been served to surrender his lease on the property. Andrew moved to the Sandringham Estate in February 2026, initially staying at Wood Farm before moving into Marsh Farm in April.

Ferguson has since kept a low profile abroad, spending time at a spa retreat in Austria and lying low in Verbier at a chalet once owned by her late ex-partner, Paddy McNally.

A Quiet Comeback After Months in Exile

The Sun, which first reported the rental, says the property has three bathrooms and a 'granny annexe,' though the exact location within the Home Counties has not been disclosed.

Removal vans were spotted at Andrew's home on the Marsh Farm collecting some of Ferguson's possessions, suggesting she is finalising the move. A skip was seen in the drive as the house was being cleared, and engineers have reportedly been fitting super-fast WiFi ahead of her arrival, according to reporting by The Sun.

Ferguson's return comes just days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touched down in the UK for an extended stay, prompting one source to tell The Sun that 'now's the right moment for her to re-enter her life.'

With attention focused on the Sussexes, the thinking goes, she could slip back under the radar after seven months away. It's a wild bit of timing, and you can almost hear the newsroom phones lighting up on both sides of the Atlantic.

During her time overseas, Ferguson missed McNally's funeral, with her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, attending on behalf of the family. Her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, gave birth to a third child, a baby girl named Adelaide, while Ferguson was abroad.

Ferguson's representatives have not publicly confirmed all the details, and the precise location of the property has not been disclosed. However, multiple outlets have reported the planned move.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Remains Under Investigation

While Ferguson plots her return, Andrew remains under police investigation after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February and subsequently released under investigation.

He has been lying low at Marsh Farm, a five-bedroom property on King Charles' Sandringham Estate that he moved into in April after extensive renovations, including luxury carpets and a transformed stables.

The address affords him access to Charles' 20,000-acre estate, where he walks the corgis Muick and Sandy, inherited from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth.

Royal author Andrew Lownie told the Daily Mail that relations between Andrew and his daughters were "particularly fractured and complex" as they dealt with each new disclosure concerning him. He reportedly suggested Andrew might have limited contact with his new granddaughter.

IBTimes UK cannot independently verify these claims, so take everything lightly.

What happens next for Ferguson remains unclear. She has described her association with Epstein as a 'major error in judgment,' and her return raises fresh questions about how she will navigate public life after the Epstein storm.

For now, Ferguson's reported return marks a quieter new chapter after months spent largely out of the public eye, although the scrutiny surrounding her past association with Epstein is unlikely to disappear.
