Sarah Ferguson hasn’t been seen in public since she attended the Duchess of Kent’s funeral in September 2025, and the death of her close friend wasn’t enough to bring her out of hiding. Although she’s been reported to be staying at her her ex-boyfriend and longtime friend Paddy McNally’s Swiss villa, the former royal skipped his funeral on August 14—but Princess Beatrice was there for the service.
Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s eldest daughter, 38, was pictured attending McNally’s funeral in photos shared by Hello! on Friday morning. The princess, who attended without husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, wore a short-sleeved black dress as she stood outside St James's Church in Sevenhampton, England, bowing her head in one of the photos.
