Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor are reportedly delighted to welcome another grandchild following the birth of Princess Eugenie’s third child.
The former Duke and Duchess of York, who have remained largely on the sidelines of royal life, are said to be thrilled after Eugenie welcomed a baby girl with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
According to HeatWorld, the new arrival has also given Sarah and Andrew fresh hope that family ties could begin to improve.
“They’re absolutely thrilled for Eugenie and very excited to be getting another grandchild,” an insider told the outlet.
The source claimed the pair believe a newborn can help bring relatives closer together and are viewing the occasion as a possible opportunity to reconnect with King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the wider royal family.
Andrew is also said to be taking great pride in becoming a grandfather again and has reportedly been sharing updates with relatives he remains in contact with, as well as some courtiers and royal staff.
The insider further claimed that both Andrew and Sarah see the baby’s arrival as a possible “foot back in the door” with the royal family.
However, the source acknowledged that they are aware the birth will not erase the controversies and tensions that have kept them at a distance from the Firm.
Still, according to the report, the former couple are hoping to make the most of the happy family occasion and see it as a rare chance to remind relatives that they remain part of the wider family.
Neither Sarah Ferguson nor Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has publicly confirmed that they are using the birth as an opportunity to rebuild ties with the royal family, and the claims remain based on unnamed sources.
