Sarah Ferguson has resurfaced at a luxury retreat in Austria this April, even as fresh claims suggest she is relying on heavily used credit cards to maintain an expensive lifestyle. The contrast has revived questions about the former Duchess of York's finances and whether her well documented money troubles have worsened.
Those questions intensified after the release of the Epstein files nearly three months ago, which pushed Ferguson's long criticised association with Jeffrey Epstein back into public view. As scrutiny grew, the 66 year old largely disappeared from sight, prompting speculation over whether she had stepped back because of the fallout or because she could no longer sustain the privileged life she once shared with Prince Andrew at the 30 room Royal Lodge in Windsor.
