Fergie is not expected to relocate with either of her daughters

Sarah Ferguson is ready to "spread her wings" as the former Duchess of York prepares to move out of Royal Lodge.

Fergie's ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is expected to relocate to Marsh Farm in Wolferton, according to reports. However, a source claimed Sarah will not follow.


"Andrew and Sarah have to move out by January 25. She has stood by him all these years but is now ready to spread her wings.

"She won't be moving in with him to the new house on the Sandringham Estate," the source told HELLO!.

It continued: "She won't be moving into Beatrice's Cotswolds home though. Eugenie's home in Portugal is a contender while she finds somewhere.

"Andrew has stopped getting newspapers or reading anything. He's in his own bubble. The girls do see him.

"Sarah is still very upset at everything that has happened."

Fergie's downfall has seen her dropped by multiple charities after it emerged she wrote to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, calling him a "supreme friend".

The former duchess is not expected to take up residence with either of her children, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, according to reports.

Suggestions that Fergie might relocate to Portugal to be with Eugenie, 35, or occupy a "granny annexe" adjacent to Beatrice's, 37, Cotswolds home have allegedly been ruled out by insiders.

Instead, it is believed that she is actively looking for her own private residence.

Renovation efforts are currently progressing at Marsh Farm, where Andrew is expected to relocate, sources suggest.

Workers have erected a two-metre wooden barrier around part of the Norfolk property, shielding areas where the existing hedgerow provides insufficient cover.

Activity was visible at the site on Thursday, with an upstairs light illuminated in the main residence, and individuals spotted moving about inside.

Construction equipment was operating on the grounds, whilst a labourer was observed travelling between the principal building and an adjacent outbuilding.

The Sun has reported the estate property is being prepared for the former prince's anticipated move.

Marsh Farm sits approximately two miles from Sandringham House, the King's Norfolk residence.

The property has stood unoccupied for a number of years and requires substantial work before it can serve as a suitable dwelling.

Preparations are now underway to render the building habitable ahead of Andrew's anticipated relocation to the estate.

The move comes after Andrew was compelled to vacate Royal Lodge, his previous home in Windsor.
