Sarah Ferguson could be ‘forced to speak to police’ about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein
The ex-duchess has a money craving, but now she might face a police grilling amid revelations she considered Jeffrey Epstein a ‘brother’.
Sarah Ferguson might soon have to venture out of the shadows amid claims she could be made to talk to police about her disgraced ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Although perhaps more talked about than ever before, Ms Ferguson is now avoiding the public eye because of the ongoing Epstein scandal.
Before the most recent disclosure of the files held by the US Department of Justice, it had been thought her connection to the convicted paedophile was primarily through Andrew.

Now, Ms Ferguson, whose whereabouts is unknown, could be forced to speak to police as they continue their investigation in the former prince who was arrested and held in custody for 11 hours on his 66th birthday.
But before all this unfolded, Ms Ferguson was already on the move.
Weeks prior, after she was booted from the Royal Lodge, insiders said she went to the Alps briefly before travelling to the UAE — but its unclear where the ex-duchess is now.
She could be with her sister — Jane Luedecke who resides on the NSW Central Coast with her partner.
According to a source that spoke to Daily Mail, Ms Ferguson desperately wants to get back making money — but the investigation could impede this.
“She wants to get out there and start earning money again. I can’t see how she’s going to do it. Her brand is toxic,” the source said.
“Her best hope of a money-spinner is a tell-all book about how her family’s friendship with Epstein has destroyed everything and left the monarchy in crisis — but she’s ruled that out apparently.
“Besides she might end up having to tell that story to the police.”
Andrew, whose name is a rife in the Epstein files, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a serious offence that carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
What was tipped to be his quietest birthday in history became a noisy affair when a slew of police officers stormed Sandringham.
He was taken from Wood Farm by Thames Valley and Norfolk police and was questioned for more than 10 hours — becoming the first royal family to be arrested since Charles I.
During his grilling by investigators, a team of police searched the Norfolk residence while another stormed the Royal Lodge.
It is understood that items seized during the search are being examined as the investigation continues.
