Former Duchess of York reportedly ‘shattered’ in private as fears grow she could face court questions after Andrew’s arrest
Sarah Ferguson is said to be deeply worried about how the ongoing Epstein scandal could affect her, despite attempting to appear calm in public.
The former Duchess of York is reportedly “absolutely terrified” as pressure continues to build for her to be questioned in court. The concerns surfaced only days after her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, was arrested, a development that insiders say has shaken her deeply.
According to a close confidant, the mother of their daughters believes the situation has turned into what she sees as a “witch hunt.”
“Sarah is absolutely terrified about where this could be heading,” the source said. “She insists it’s a witch hunt and that she hasn’t done anything wrong, but everyone knows how closely her life has been linked with Andrew’s for many years.”
The insider also claimed that she may find little support within the royal family if the situation escalates.
“She is very much on her own,” the source added. “No matter how she tries to present things publicly, it’s too little, too late as far as William is concerned.”
The claims suggest that if Sarah were to face legal trouble connected to the scandal, help from senior members of the royal family would be unlikely.
Privately, those close to her say the situation has left her shaken. While she continues to maintain a composed image in public, insiders claim she is struggling behind the scenes.
“Andrew’s arrest stunned her,” the source explained. “Before that, she still believed she might be able to step away from the situation because of her ties to the royal family.”
“But now it’s clear that if Andrew can be arrested, there is no chance that Charles or William would step in to help her.”
