Disgraced former royal figure Sarah Ferguson is reportedly reaching out to affluent acquaintances in an urgent quest for alternative accommodations following the exposure of her undisclosed retreat in Austria. The 66-year-old, who had maintained a low profile amidst the aftermath of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, is allegedly in a rush to secure a new hideaway after her posh residence near Salzburg became public knowledge.
Sources indicate that Ferguson has been actively contacting her network of wealthy contacts since the weekend, aiming to vanish from public scrutiny once again. Her refuge, a £2,000-per-night suite at the exclusive Mayrlife spa in Altaussee, had offered her seclusion from the turmoil in London. However, the veil of secrecy was shattered when photos surfaced, revealing her presence at the lakeside resort, prompting her hasty departure. Insider accounts suggest she led a reclusive existence during her stay, seldom venturing outside her chalet and avoiding public areas.
Reportedly opting for in-room dining with preferences for dishes like bresaola with mozzarella and chicken breast, Ferguson maintained minimal interaction with the outside world. Despite the picturesque setting of the spa, she refrained from outdoor activities, leading sources to claim she rarely ventured beyond her quarters. Concerns are mounting among her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as Ferguson remains in constant communication by phone, according to MailOnline reports. With her undisclosed location compromised, she is believed to be seeking refuge with trusted associates to avoid being left without a place to stay.
One source mentioned, “Sarah has a supportive circle of friends willing to assist her in this challenging time.” The urgency behind her frantic search is attributed to the escalating fears of potential entanglement in the Epstein scandal. Although not facing any allegations, Ferguson is preparing for potential legal repercussions from the United States. She has refuted any misconduct regarding her association with Epstein.
Recently, a US congressional subcommittee formally requested her cooperation in their inquiry into her connections with Epstein. Congressman Suhas Subramanyam emphasized her ties to Epstein and the potential information she could provide for their investigation. Past emails where Ferguson praised Epstein have resurfaced, casting a shadow over her reputation. Speculations about a possible book deal funding her lavish spa stay have been raised by royal expert Tom Sykes.
Sykes remarked, “The notion that she financed an Austrian spa retreat independently seems implausible.” Another source highlighted her desire for privacy, stating, “She simply seeks a secure haven away from prying eyes. All she wants is some peace of mind.”
