In an interview, Princess Beatrice has reflected on Sarah Ferguson’s divorce from Prince Andrew. The divorce took place in the 1990s but Princess Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, opened up on a podcast to discuss their mother. On the podcast, Lessons From Our Mothers, hosted by Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, and her half-sister, Isabella Branson, Beatrice and Eugenie spoke about the divorce.

She spoke of her mother’s “ability to jump into any situation.” Beatrice explained: “There was always an adventure to be had, and now it’s so fun reflecting and looking back to say some of the harder times, through divorce, and through challenging moments, there was always an adventure.”

Prince Andrew and Sarah separated in 1992 as the Duke of York's service in the Royal Navy meant long periods away from his wife, creating distance and strain on their marriage.

Fergie also wanted to work outside the Royal Family, something not traditionally allowed for a member of the royal household. She later explained that this was a primary reason for the divorce.

While they separated in 1992, the divorce was finalised in 1996 to allow Sarah to pursue her career and gain greater financial freedom.

Despite their separation and divorce, the Duke and Duchess of York have remained close friends and often spend time together.

Sarah Ferguson has addressed the swirling rumours regarding Prince Andrew being forced to vacate his home, Royal Lodge in Windsor.

It comes as King Charles is now said to be withdrawing private funding for security on the estate which cost £3 million a year.

This means that unless the Duke of York can generate the financial resources to pay for repairs the property needs, as well as foot the security bill, he could be faced with being evicted from the property.

Despite the couple's divorce in 1996, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have remained on good terms and continue to live together in the 30-bedroom property thought to be worth £30 million.

In early 2023, King Charles slashed his brother's annual allowance of £249,000, which essentially priced him out of running the 30-room Royal Lodge.
