Sarah Ferguson Spotted at Austrian Ski Resort After Months of Seclusion
Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, has been photographed for the first time in over seven months at a luxury ski resort in Austria. The 66-year-old royal was seen walking from a chalet to a vehicle, dressed in a blue coat and white baseball cap in an apparent attempt to avoid recognition. This public appearance follows a prolonged period of seclusion lasting 213 days, triggered by the release of the Epstein Files by the US Department of Justice. These documents revealed damaging emails linking Ferguson to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, leading to intense scrutiny and calls for her to provide evidence to US officials. Consequently, Ferguson was stripped of her Duchess title last year. Sources indicate she has been keeping a low profile in the Alps to escape public attention amid the ongoing controversy. Her last known public outing was attending the Duchess of Kent's funeral in September 2025, although she was also briefly sighted attempting to hide in a car during a family christening in December 2025. This sighting occurs shortly after she and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, were evicted from Royal Lodge.
