People who once welcomed Ferguson into their homes are now reportedly reluctant to offer their support. According to insiders, the recent release of emails connected to Epstein has made her presence feel politically and socially risky.
“Everyone’s telling her that now’s not a good time,” said an insider. “A lot of people actually really like her, but being associated with anyone associated with Epstein just isn’t wise right now.”
The source added that even longtime friends are hesitant to host her under the current circumstances.
Family concerns about reputation
Ferguson’s daughter Princess Eugenie currently lives in New York, but even that option appears complicated. Sources say both mother and daughter worry that Ferguson staying with her could damage the family’s reputation.
“Now that Andrew has lost his royal title, the girls [Eugenie and older sister Beatrice] are the only members of the family who are real royals,” said an insider. “It’s more important than ever for them to be kept as far away from the scandal as possible.”
