James Whatling / MEGA After years of defending her ex, Sarah Ferguson is distancing herself from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. "She is discredited and appears to have abandoned Andrew insofar as we know," royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Daily Express. Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein led to the end of his royal career, resulting in the stripping of his titles and him being kicked out of Royal Lodge. Due to his public downfall, Ferguson is no longer able to use her Duchess of York title or reside at her royal abode.
