For years,Sarah Fergusonand formerPrince Andrewcultivated a reputation as the divorced couple who never fully parted ways. They continued to share Royal Lodge long after their 1996 divorce, vacationed together, and consistently presented a united front that royal watchers often described as unusually warm, even enviable.

Insidersclaim the pair have drifted significantly apart, describing them as "worlds away" from the carefully maintained brand of being the "most friendly divorced couple on Earth." What once looked like a modern royal arrangement now appears strained by circumstances and reputation.
The shift follows Andrew's dramatic fall from public life and his impending exit from Royal Lodge, the Windsor property the former couple have shared since 2008. His reduced standing within the royal family has changed the dynamic around him. At 65, Andrew faces a markedly different future than the one he once occupied. At 66, Ferguson appears to be recalculating her own path.
The narrative of Andrew and Sarah as an exceptionally close, harmonious divorced pair "simply no longer reflects reality." Behind palace doors, sources say they now move on parallel tracks rather than as a unit. A royal expert described, "What is happening now represents a decisive break from the carefully maintained image of Andrew and Sarah as an unusually close, harmonious divorced couple." For years, Ferguson remained publicly loyal to her former husband. But insiders suggest that loyalty now comes with complications.
"Circumstances have shifted dramatically," one palace aide said. "For a long time, Sarah and Andrew benefited from presenting themselves as a united pair, even after their marriage ended. But Andrew's collapse in standing has altered the calculation." Those close to the situation say Ferguson has begun "focusing on how she secures her own future rather than continuing to shield him." Sources believe she may attempt yet another comeback, possibly through a memoir that tells her side of recent events and reframes her narrative.
