With a knack for negotiation, Sarah Ferguson is tackling the "nasty" Royal Lodge feud between her ex-husband, Prince Andrew and former brother-in-law, King Charles III.
In an exclusive interview, royal and showbiz expert Mark Boardman tells The Royal Observer that Fergie "is known to be a steadfast supporter of Andrew. She would likely share his sentiments, feeling upset and concerned about the impact this move has on their family."
"Fergie has often been vocal about her loyalty and support for Andrew, so it’s reasonable to assume she is advocating for him behind the scenes, possibly hoping for a compromise or solution that allows them to maintain some stability and dignity amidst the changes," he adds. "This is an opportunity for her family to start fresh and move on from their past controversies."
The battle for Royal Lodge is starting to feature "dirty tactics" by Charles III in his effort to kick his disgraced younger brother out of the opulent mansion. Despite his best efforts, the Duke is struggling to keep the lavish estate, but may just have a "secret weapon" in his battle with the reigning monarch. Ferguson has lived in the Royal Lodge with Andrew as "roommates" since 2008.
This year, Jeffrey Epstein's former pal has increased his efforts to resist the King's wish to kick him and Fergie from the residence. Insiders are calling the dispute the "siege of Royal Lodge."
Majesty Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Ingrid Seward, believes that Prince Andrew's daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, might be instrumental in aiding their father.
"The princesses are Andrew's hidden advantage," she told an outlet. "They are well-liked within the royal family, and Charles has a special affection for them."
This comes after Ferguson all but confirmed the long-running Charles and Andrew rift with Good Morning Britain host Martin Lewis when he kept asking the ex-royal about the quarrel. "I tend not to get involved in brothers' discussions, and I think that's the safest place to be," Ferguson pointedly told the broadcaster when asked about the squabble. "Let the brothers discuss it between themselves."
Around that time, it was revealed just how ruthless the King was in his battle to throw the "piling on the pounds" prince out of the opulent estate. But a source stepped forward to explain how the monarch is willing to be fair with his out-of-work younger brother.
"The King’s kindness is not without limit, and there is a very good option for Andrew to move into Frogmore Cottage… which also has the benefit of being within the Windsor Castle security cordon hence reducing the need for alternative round-the-clock security for Royal Lodge," they told an outlet.
