Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's post-divorce arrangement questioned by biographer

Royal biographer Andrew Lownie says the longstanding image of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew as the "happiest divorced couple" was a public cover. He argues the pair continued to live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor and presented a united front primarily to preserve financial advantages and royal connections.

Lownie told the Daily Mail that the couple "very quickly after their wedding were having affairs" and that the arrangement "saved her money and burnished her royal connections and her money‑making activities." His comments come amid renewed scrutiny of Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, but focus on the personal and financial motivations behind the duo’s post‑divorce partnership.
