Sarah Ferguson has been spotted in the Portuguese resort of Melides, where she’s meeting her newest granddaughter—Princess Eugenie gave birth to her third child last week. Fergie has been keeping a low profile after her name cropped up in the Epstein files—since a sighting in the Austrian Alps in April, she’s hardly been spotted at all. Now, however, she’s visiting Eugenie at her $4.8 million oceanside mansion and has become “a regular at local restaurants,” according to reports. Her arrival raises the question of what Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s role is in this family reunion? Neither daughter has visited their father since his February arrest; the royal biographer Andrew Lownie describes Andrew’s relations with them as “fractured and complex.” Ferguson, meanwhile, has remained loyal to the man with whom she shared Royal Lodge for nearly two decades after their divorce. But as she balances the demands of her daughters with those of the disgraced former prince, maybe she’s decided to move on.
