Sarah Ferguson is allegedly reluctant to return to the UK after ending a seven month absence from public view in Austria, where photographers spotted the former Duchess of York outside a £2,000 a night chalet linked to a luxury medical resort.
The 66 year old has largely remained out of British public life since the release of the so called Epstein files, which reportedly showed she stayed in contact with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after his first conviction. According to those reports, the documents included emails in which Ferguson referred to Epstein as a 'legend'. Her appearance in the files has not been presented as evidence of criminal wrongdoing, but the association has caused serious reputational damage.
