Fergie 'has nowhere to go or anyone to go with', friends say, as former Duchess 'fears for her future' amid Epstein links

Ferguson and her ex-husband Prince Andrew are said to be locked in discussions with the Royal Family to quit their 30-room mansion after further details emerged connecting them to the sex offender.

Andrew could be set to move into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former home, with Frogmore Cottage undergoing a set of new renovations in recent days.

But it remains to be seen where the former Duchess of York will live if she is forced to leave the Royal Lodge.

Ferguson has reportedly told friends she has “nowhere to go” as pressure mounts on the Royal Family to cut ties with her for good.

One source told the MailOnline: “She is contrite and embarrassed but also fears the scandal has fatally damaged her own business interests, including a number of new fictional books that are due to come out.

“People don't want to be associated with her any more.”

The source added: “The honest truth is that she has nowhere to go and no one to go with [if Andrew loses Royal Lodge].”

Another source told the outlet: “The King is a kind man but his patience has been pushed to the limit.”

Some reports claim Fergie could be handed Adelaide Cottage by the Royal Family if she agrees to move.

Friends say pressure has “cranked up” on the couple since Andrew agreed to give up his royal titles following scrutiny over his ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“Frogmore Cottage and Adelaide Cottage were on the table in May,” a friend said.

“A lot has changed since then... The two-home solution remains firmly on the table and reality has hit home, and forced them to look at it again.”

Though no official announcement has been made, palace sources suggest a decision on Andrew’s future could come soon.
