Sarah Ferguson was married to ex-Prince Andrew from 1986 until their divorce was finalized in 1996.

The couple were exiled from royal life in 2025 following revelations about their association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

When Andrew proposed in 1986, he gave Ferguson a 3-carat Burmese ruby engagement ring with a cluster of diamonds, forming a flower-shaped design.

Sarah Ferguson got engaged to now-ex Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 1986, following about a year of dating. Her ring from the former royal is one of the most unique in royal history, although it symbolizes a union marred by scandals. Over the last decade, the exes have become disgraced for their associations with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, among other controversies.

Per Vanity Fair, Ferguson and Andrew knew one another as children before reconnecting in their 20s and becoming romantically involved. Although much attention was lavished on their July 1986 royal wedding, their married life was complicated by scandal. The former couple finalized their divorce a decade after saying their “I do’s.” To the world’s surprise, they continued to live together at Windsor’s Royal Lodge from 2008 until early 2026, when Andrew’s brother King Charles reportedly accelerated their eviction.

After the ex-prince’s arrest in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office connected to his communications with Epstein, Ferguson’s whereabouts were unknown for months. April 2026 brought an update: per People, the disgraced former duchess was reportedly spotted living in the Austrian Alps.

The mystery surrounding Ferguson remains, however, as the artifacts of her time with the Crown—including her royal engagement ring—are continual subjects of fascination. Ahead, learn more about Sarah Ferguson’s engagement ring and what happened to it following her divorce and fall from grace.

Ferguson’s ring features a central ruby encircled by diamonds that resemble flower petals.

Rather than go for a diamond solitaire, Ferguson and Andrew “wanted something that was slightly unconventional,” he told reporters during their 1986 engagement interview. “It’s something that we discussed in the last few weeks, and we came to the mutual conclusion that red was probably the best color for Sarah [who has red hair]. And that’s how we came to the choice of the ruby. And then the extra bits around the outside.” He added that he made sketches of the design before the ring was made, with the diamonds resembling “rugby balls” in his drawings.

According to jeweler Maxwell Stone’s Crisscut Magazine, the ring features a 3-carat Burmese ruby surrounded by 10 small white diamonds in a cluster setting and set on a gold band. The design resembles a flower in shape—making it similar to Princess Margaret’s ruby engagement ring, which is shaped like a rosebud.

Another royal with a ring like Ferguson’s? Her and Andrew’s daughter, Princess Eugenie. According to People, Eugenie’s proposal piece from now-husband Jack Brooksbank is a blush-colored padparadscha sapphire flanked by a cluster of brilliant-cut diamonds.

It’s worth an estimated $93K, making it one of the least expensive royal engagement rings.

Maxwell told Hello! in 2025 that the ring reportedly cost £25,000 in 1986, but its royal history and inflation make it worth “in the region of £70,000,” or $93,000, today. For a royal engagement ring, that’s peanuts. Queen Elizabeth’s 3-carat diamond sparkler is worth an estimated $250,000, while Princess Diana’s sapphire bauble (now worn by Kate Middleton) is valued at over half a million dollars.

Ferguson continued to wear her ring after her divorce from ex-Prince Andrew, until around 2003.

Ferguson and Andrew separated in 1992 after six years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in 1996. The estranged couple continued to co-parent their two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and on several family outings, Ferguson could be seen wearing her ruby engagement ring. She was photographed sporting it while dropping Beatrice off for school with Andrew in September 2000, and during a book signing in January 2003. Yet on subsequent public appearances, her hand was bare or adorned with other rings.

Ferguson’s engagement ring hasn’t been seen in public since 2003, and she hasn’t commented on its whereabouts. It may have been privately sold. Another possibility is that Ferguson gave the ring to one of her daughters or is saving it as an heirloom for one of her grandchildren from Eugenie and Beatrice.

How smaller music festivals keep the show on the road

Maid of Stone has been one of the post-lockdown success stories

Music festivals have been under threat for years, with dozens calling it a day and many others seemingly just about hanging on for dear life.

The trend shows no sign of ending. Red Rooster, which was held for more than 10 years near the Norfolk/Suffolk border, called in the liquidators earlier this year.

Kernowfornia Festival, which was due to take place in Cornwall in September, has been cancelled after just a year, blaming "recent financial developments". Kernowfornia was the successor to Making Waves, which itself pulled the plug back in 2018 because of debts.

But the picture is not just doom and gloom. Among the bad news are success stories, with some independent festivals thriving.

The number of tickets at Nene Valley Rock Festival is capped at 1,000 a day

Nene Valley Rock Festival will be held at Grimsthorpe Castle, near Bourne, Lincolnshire, in September, with FM and Focus two of the headliners.

"We limit our tickets to 1,000 a day," says director Tony Castle.

"We've all seen pictures of Glastonbury where most of the crowd might as well have stayed at home and watched it on TV because they are only watching it on a big screen. Limiting our tickets is a bit of a risk because of finances, but we want to provide a boutique, intimate experience.

"Our success is based on providing our customers with what they actually want as opposed to being a large organisation that is in it for money. We are non-profit making and none of us draws a penny. That allows us to plough every penny we get back into the festival itself."

Things such as providing decent loos with an on-site cleaning team have proven popular, Castle says, as have the free shower facilities. Meanwhile, feedback from the first years prompted the organisers to introduce glamping tents, including some that come with real beds.

It has all helped create "a hardcore of supporters" who will buy tickets before the first bands are announced.

"We have their trust that we'll put on enough bands that they want to see," says Castle, who adds that a cut in VAT for independent festivals would help.

Glamping options were introduced at Nene Valley Rock Festival following audience feedback

Another festival that is relatively new on the scene is Maid of Stone in Kent, which takes place next weekend for the fourth time.

The 5,000-capacity jamboree in Maidstone – which this year will feature the likes of Saxon and Uriah Heep – is on the site of the former Ramblin' Man Fair, which went bust and never restarted after lockdown.

Ramblin' Man had a bigger capacity and attracted bigger acts – Whitesnake and ZZ Top were among its headliners – but it was always going to be tricky keeping it alive without the tens or even hundreds of thousands of attendees that the likes of Glastonbury, Reading and Download pull in.

"Festivals are struggling, there's no denying it," says Maid of Stone's Chris Wright.

"The UK alone has lost over 100 since 2024, and I expect the impending recession and fuel shortage issues will add to that this summer."

Maid of Stone will take place again in Kent next weekend

Wright adds: "Standing as an independent is hard in any industry, but when you're in a niche industry a few companies have way too much say and control, and it's difficult to navigate around that."

It means "smart business decisions" are crucial.

"As a company, we have had 10 years of creating small community type events and reinvesting any money made back into the company," he says.

"This has allowed us to purchase and own a fair amount of equipment and infrastructure. This helps massively, as the cost of that equipment has doubled in recent years, and it gives us an advantage over someone, say, who is starting out on a year-one show."

Red Rooster has been cancelled this year

John Rostron, chief executive of the Association of Independent Festivals, says there have been 30 cancellations or postponements so far this year but about the same number of events have started up.

"The good news is that many independent festivals are thriving, having had their strongest sales in a long time (for some, ever)," he says.

"There has been a record number of sell-outs and [festivals] selling out early, driven by factors such as how more easily affordable it is to buy a festival ticket with a payment plan.

"But the emerging narrative this year is how tough it is for those independent festivals financially. Margins remain tight, and the biggest challenge is cashflow – so even sold-out festivals are struggling to find the money to get their gates open."

The scene at a previous Rock N Roll Circus

Artists and their management don't always help, Rostron says.

"Topline talent is charging up to double what they were in previous years, and agents are trying to push for payments earlier without good reason.

"More established festivals are able to hold their ground and are able to split payments… but some agents are pushing independents, particularly newer events, for 100% upfront fees, which is crippling promoters who buckle to those unnecessary demands."

A bit of help from the taxman would also help, he says.

"The external intervention we need is from government in the shape of grassroots music festival tax relief. Festivals eat and drink risk, but tax relief mitigates some of that risk."

Rock N Roll Circus is being held in Norfolk and South Yorkshire

Karen Johnson is the spokeswoman for Rock N Roll Circus, which will be held in Norwich and Sheffield next month with James, The Streets and Richard Ashcroft among the bill-toppers.

She says there has been "a creeping dominance" of the larger festival promoters, and the increase in large arena shows for big-name artists has also taken up a greater share of people's spending power.

So what can independent festivals do to help keep the show on the road?

Rock N Roll Circus, as its name suggests, mixes the traditional elements of a music festival with the thrills of high-wire and fire displays.

Johnson says: "Offering value for money seems to be a thing this year, providing choices – day festivals in parks, for example, where the costs of travel and camping are less and where audiences can cherry-pick the artists/genres they like best but still have a festival-style experience."

None of this is to lay the blame at those festivals that have had to call it a day. It is a tough environment, and when a venture fails the biggest losers are often the people behind it, who sometimes lose millions of pounds.

It no doubt keeps the brains behind many of these events awake at night as they work tirelessly to thrive – or, as Nene Valley's Castle says, to "just survive".

Allie Eklund Refused to Have Future Kids Witness ‘Behind Closed Doors’ Drama With Steven McBee Jr. Danielle Campoamor and Johnni MackeSat, July 11, 2026 at 10:49 PM UTC 0 Getty Images Allie Eklund is opening up about the way her hopes for the future made her realize she needed to leave her relationship with The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys star Steven McBee Jr. in the past.

Allie Eklund is opening up about the way her hopes for the future made her realize she needed to leave her relationship with The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys star Steven McBee Jr. in the past.

“When I think about my future kids, that is what keeps me going,” Eklund exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, July 10, while promoting her personal business venture, Triple E Mercantile, a collection of goods inspired by her family’s private Texas Hill country ranch, home to more than 100 animals.

“There’s nothing I miss about that relationship or look back and want again, or in the future that we had planned, because I refuse to put my kids through some of the experiences that I was experiencing behind closed doors, and that’s what — that’s the only reason why I’m able to say no,” she continued. “There were things that I was putting up with myself privately that I chose to protect him on.”

She reality TV star added, “But when I, after this has been brought to light, and I’m watching this play back and remembering, you know, some of the bad that did outweigh the good — in no world would I want my kids to experience some of the things that I did.”

Allie Eklund Won’t Speak to Steven McBee Jr. ‘Ever Again’ After Messy Split, Cheating Drama

Us reached out to McBee Jr. for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication.

Eklund and McBee Jr.’s now defunct relationship is currently playing out in season 3 of the hit reality TV show, which premiered back in June. The pair famously split in April of this year, after McBee Jr., 33, publicly accused Eklund of cheating on him after attending Stagecoach. Eklund denied the allegations and McBee Jr. eventually apologized for his comments, revealing he would be seeking therapy while attending a wellness retreat.

While discussing her breakup, Eklund told Us that she finds it all very “interesting,” considering it was her ex-boyfriend’s “choice to bring this to the internet,” referring to his public infidelity accusations.

“If it would have been up to me, I would have protected him. And I did choose to protect him in multiple scenarios throughout our relationship, where I had found text messages and gotten messages and phone calls, and things were said to me,” she continued. “You know, he had said things to me and treated me a certain way, and I continued to protect him. So when he chose to bring this last fight to the internet … the vulnerability that came from that experience has ended up leading me to [a] connection with women around the world that I couldn’t have imagined.”

Who Is Allie Eklund? What to Know After Steven McBee Jr. Accused Her of Cheating at Stagecoach

Eklund explained to Us that thanks to fans sharing their “similar experiences” and telling her that by detailing her personal story she has “given them strength in this scenario to move forward and get out of relationships where they were being treated that way,” she has found purpose in her pain.

“There’s only so much that we can do, and we can love someone from afar,” she explained. “But when it continues to happen over and over again, it’s a pattern. And I would encourage women to walk away from similar behavior. And I have, which has been crazy — that people have communicated that this has impacted them in that way, I never could have imagined that, and for that, I’m thankful for the experience.”

The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
