Those close to Sarah Ferguson say they are increasingly worried about the former duchess after she admitted that her recent fall from grace has not been “good for my mental health,” according to reports.

The Duchess of York, who has been forced out of Royal Lodge alongside her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is said to be “crying several times a day” and feeling overwhelmed by anxiety about “what the future holds”.

Sources claim the 66-year-old has confided in friends that losing her royal titles and long-term accommodation has taken a serious toll on her emotional wellbeing.

Feeling shut out by the Royal Family

Fergie is also alleged to have told those close to her that King Charles and Prince William were “out for blood in every way”, as she finds herself increasingly isolated from the Royal Family.

“She’s on a knife edge and bursting out crying several times a day. She’s really not sure what the future holds,” a source close to the former Duchess of York told the Daily Mail.

Fergie and Andrew, who have lived rent-free at Royal Lodge since 2008, have reportedly been given until January 31 to vacate the Grade II listed property.
