Insiders claim the Duchess of York has been struggling emotionally amid recent changes
Sarah Ferguson is reportedly facing a difficult period as she adjusts to life away from Royal Lodge while trying to avoid media attention.
The former Duchess of York has been keeping a lower profile in recent months. She and Andrew have also faced renewed scrutiny linked to their past association with convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein, which has again placed the pair under public and media attention.
According to an insider, those close to Ferguson have started to worry about her emotional wellbeing. Friends are said to be concerned about how she processes feelings of being left out or overlooked.
The source explained that when Ferguson believes she is being shut out, those emotions can build quietly over time rather than being addressed calmly in the moment.
There are also rumours that she feels distant from some members of the royal family, including Camilla, with whom she was once believed to share a friendly relationship.
Speaking to a US-based entertainment outlet, the insider claimed that people around Ferguson have noticed a worrying pattern beginning to emerge.
“There is a growing fear among those around Sarah that a troubling pattern is starting to take hold,” the source said.
“They are seeing a cycle where feelings of being shut out or overlooked gradually build beneath the surface instead of being dealt with in a measured or constructive way.”
The insider added that the pressure can sometimes build until it comes out in a more emotional way than expected.
“Over time that pressure seems to mount until it emerges more emotionally, sometimes in ways that feel reactive or disproportionate to the immediate situation,” the source continued.
Friends, the insider said, worry that this approach may not be healthy in the long term and are concerned about where it could lead if the pattern continues.
