Sarah Ferguson is weighing her next move and will spend the coming weeks overseas as she considers where to live next, PEOPLE understands
Ferguson, 66, must vacate Royal Lodge alongside her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, after he was ordered to surrender the lease on the Windsor property
Sources emphasize that Ferguson plans to move forward independently and has not requested a royal property or special provision for herself
Sarah Ferguson is mulling her next move as the deadline to vacate Royal Lodge — the Windsor Great Park residence she has shared with her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — draws near.
Ferguson, 66, is still looking for her next home and will be overseas for the next few weeks as she considers her options, PEOPLE understands.
Andrew's impending eviction from Royal Lodge has also required Ferguson to find a new home. Although the former Duke and Duchess of York divorced in 1996, they remained on friendly terms, and Ferguson continued to live with him at the 30-room mansion in Windsor for years afterward.
Speculation around her future living arrangements has been firmly shut down. A spokesperson for Ferguson dismissed reports that she might move into an annex or converted barn at the country home of her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice. Suggestions that she could stay with her younger daughter, Princess Eugenie, in Portugal were also ruled out.
As of December 2025, Ferguson was still weighing her options following the announcement that Royal Lodge would need to be vacated.
"She is assessing a number of options currently, and no final decision has been made," her spokesperson told PEOPLE.
Around the same time, a source told PEOPLE that Ferguson was "looking for a place in Windsor," adding that she and Andrew had been given a move-out date of Jan. 31.

The update comes as Ferguson's ex-husband — now styled Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — was ordered to leave Royal Lodge after King Charles stripped his princely title in October 2025. The unprecedented move followed renewed scrutiny of Andrew's past association with Jeffrey Epstein, which led to his withdrawal from public life in 2019. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
The King, 77, made the historic move in light of renewed scrutiny around Andrew's ties to the late, disgraced Jeffrey Epstein, a relationship which set Andrew's step back from public life in motion in 2019. He has continuously denied any wrongdoing.
When the decision was announced, Buckingham Palace shared that Andrew would relocate to a property on the private Sandringham Estate. The palace has not confirmed when he will vacate Royal Lodge or whether Marsh Farm — the property widely reported as his destination — will ultimately be his new home.

After it was announced that Andrew, 65, was ordered to surrender his Royal Lodge lease, a source told PEOPLE that Ferguson "is going to be moving out and into a separate home."
"Contrary to reports, she has never asked for a property or any provision for herself," the source added. "She will continue to forge an independent life."
A second source close to Ferguson said that she will find her own place and is "going to move forward independently."
