Sarah Ferguson to make 'imminent' return to UK 6 months after eviction from Royal Lodge

Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is set to make her big return to the UK, according to reports.

Six months after her eviction from Royal Lodge in February, the former Duchess of York is, according to the Sun, going to be moving into a rented £10,000-a-month gated property in the Home Counties.

The publication didn't report exactly where Sarah, 66, will be residing, but that she could be moving into the six-bedroom property as soon as Monday. 

Her return to the UK comes after she left the UK seven months ago amid the fallout of her ex-husband Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein and his subsequent arrest on his 66th birthday.

During her time abroad, Sarah spent time at a £2,000-a-night spa retreat in Austria before lying low in Verbier in a property owned by her ex-partner, Paddy McNally.

It has been a whirlwind few months for Sarah, while she has been away from her homeland; her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, 36, gave birth to her third child, a baby girl named Adelaide.

Meanwhile, her former partner Paddy passed away, with Sarah missing his funeral proceedings; instead, her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, 38, attended the ceremony on behalf of her family.

What is the latest with Andrew?

Andrew is currently under police investigation following his arrest and subsequent release in February for misconduct in public office. He continues to deny any wrongdoing.

While Sarah seems to have planned her big return, her ex-husband has been lying low at Marsh Farm, the five-bedroom property on King Charles' Sandringham Estate he moved into in April.

The house was renovated extensively before Andrew moved in, including the addition of luxury carpets and a transformed stables.

Andrew's address affords him access to Charles' 20,000-acre estate, which he utilises to walk his, his late mother Queen Elizabeth's corgis Muick and Sandy.

According to one royal author, it is unlikely that Andrew will see his newborn granddaughter.

"Relations with their father are particularly fractured and complex as daughters take on board each new disturbing disclosure about Andrew," Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York, alleged to the Daily Mail. 

The royal author claims it is "unlikely Andrew will see his new grandchild except through FaceTime."
