Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew have been divorced for 25 years. But the ex-couple has been living under one roof again for a few years and seem to get along brilliantly. Now the Queen is said to have reached out to her former daughter-in-law and surprised her with a special gesture.

For Sarah Ferguson, 61, relaxed summer holidays are announced for the first time in years. The ex-wife of Prince Andrew, 61, and mother of Princess Beatrice, 32, and Princess Eugenie, 31, has apparently received an invitation to Balmoral, the vacation home of the royal family. At least that is what the royal expert Richard Eden claims to have learned from an unknown source. Not really new news, as Sarah has traveled to Scotland again and again in the past few years. But this year the Duchess of York will be able to spend her entire vacation there – a novelty since the separation from her husband.

Sarah Ferguson: That’s why she never stayed in Scotland long

“Sarah Ferguson is coming,” the insider is said to have confirmed to the journalist of the “Daily Mail”. “She will be here with Andrew.” In recent years, the 61-year-old has been invited to Balmoral again and again, but only stayed a few days There was a special reason for this: she apparently feared meeting Prince Philip, † 99, who usually arrived a little later.

The Duke of Edinburgh was not very enthusiastic about his son’s ex-wife since she was caught in an intimate tête-à-tête with the American financial manager by paparazzi when he was kissing her toes in 1992 after the breakup with Andrew. Sarah had avoided her former father-in-law until his death in April 2021.

The Queen thanks her for her loyalty to Prince Andrew

Queen Elizabeth, 95, on the other hand, appreciates the loyalty of the mother of her two granddaughters and is impressed by the good relationship she has with her son to this day.

Sarah lives with Andrew at the Royal Lodge on the grounds of Windsor Castle. In an interview with the “Financial Times” she recently stated that she would only feel like a guest there. A cautious statement, as the British media have rumored again and again in recent years that the former couple had found each other again.

This does not seem to be the case, although Sarah also describes herself and Andrew as “the happiest divorced couple in the world.” The children’s book author has put herself impressively behind her ex-husband, especially in the last year, when this one through the fall Jeffrey Epstein made the headlines and was accused of being involved.

“I want him to survive this. I want him to win,” Sarah said today. She has consistently defended Andrew and praised him highly. “He’s a very gentle man, he’s a really good father and we have proven to be very good parents with equal rights, so our girls are very solid and have both feet on the ground. But now as a grandfather he’s really good, he can talk about football for hours and stuff. It’s a pleasure to see him beaming as a grandfather. “

So now Sarah and Andrew will supposedly spend their vacation with the Queen. Maybe a step towards a royal comeback.
