Sarah Ferguson 'Seeking New PR Firm' as She Allegedly Plans UK Comeback Without Ex-Husband

The former Duchess of York is reportedly considering changing her professional representation as she plans a potential return to UK-based work. A Daily Mail report claimed she has told friends she wants to resume working following the recent closure of her charitable foundation.

Sarah Ferguson, 66, is said to be spending time in the United Arab Emirates after a brief stay in the French Alps. She has long maintained a close public relationship with her former husband, Prince Andrew, whom she divorced in 1996. However, the report suggested that her current professional plans may see her operating more independently.

Renewed Media Scrutiny and Reported PR Shift

The additional documents linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case that were made public in January 2026, prompted renewed media attention surrounding historic associations referenced in previous reporting. Ferguson, though, has not been charged with any wrongdoing and has not publicly commented on the specific claims cited by the Daily Mail article.

According to the publication, she is exploring the possibility of hiring a new public relations firm to manage what sources described as a 'solo' UK comeback. Unnamed insiders cited by the outlet claimed she has expressed a desire to 'get back to work', particularly following the reported closure of Sarah's Trust earlier this month. The report also referenced changes to living arrangements connected to Royal Lodge, though no official statement has been issued regarding long-term plans.

Ferguson established Sarah's Trust, a UK-based charitable foundation in 2020 to support global humanitarian, environmental, and women and children's causes. The foundation worked on partnering with NGOs to provide funding for the causes it championed.

The report suggested that Ferguson hopes to rebuild her professional profile as an author and media personality, involving a more independent strategy. Ferguson has not confirmed the reported plans, and no formal announcement regarding new representation has been made.

The 'Money' Motivation and Charity Closure

The publication suggested that the closure of Sarah's Trust may have influenced Ferguson's current professional priorities, particularly as she reassesses her public and commercial engagements. However, no detailed financial information has been publicly disclosed regarding the charity's operations or the reasons behind its closure.

It remains unclear whether the decision was driven by funding challenges, strategic restructuring, or other administrative considerations, and Ferguson has not issued a personal statement addressing the matter.

Despite the report, there has been no official statement issued or any confirmation of her future professional plans.

A Solo Path at Royal Lodge's End

The former couple are currently understood to be living separately, according to recent media reports. Prince Andrew is expected to relocate within the royal estate system, though specific details about his future residence have not been formally confirmed.

Sarah Ferguson, for her part, is said to be considering alternative accommodation options in the Windsor area as she evaluates her next steps. Reports suggest the changes reflect a period of transition for both parties rather than any formally announced separation of living arrangements. Buckingham Palace has not issued an official statement outlining their long-term plans, and no confirmed timeline has been provided regarding any permanent move.
