Former Prince Andrew wants to be alone as he prepares to leave Sarah Ferguson amid a Royal Lodge eviction.
According to reports, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Fergie have been preparing to go their separate ways, with reports saying the former Duchess of York plans to move to Portugal in January.
Speaking on the matter, royal expert Jennie Bond told The mirror that she is surprised by the split as the pair had remained close for years despite no longer being a couple.
“I’m surprised that it seems Sarah and Andrew are now going their separate ways. I thought they were joined at the hip, even though they’re no longer romantically involved,” Bond told the publication.
She continued: “Sarah has always been so fiercely loyal to Andrew and defended him even against the most difficult allegations.
“Maybe she doesn’t believe him anymore, or maybe Andrew wants to be alone now.”
Bond added that despite their divorce, they had created a stable home for their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
“I don’t think many people would criticize a loving daughter for helping her mother,” she added.
“Whatever else you say about Sarah and indeed Andrew, they have been great parents who have somehow created a very strong and united household despite their divorce.”
