Sarah Ferguson is reportedly flirting with the idea of leaving Britain as old scandals and fresh scrutiny keep piling up. Australia is being floated as a possible bolthole — her sister lives there and is said to have flown in during what sources describe as a fragile stretch for Sarah. But here’s the funniest obstacle in a very unfunny life: Sarah’s long-documented fear of snakes, which friends claim is a genuine roadblock to any actual move.<br /><br />Then the Epstein mess drags back into the light after resurfaced images appear to show an email about unpaid money tied to Ferguson’s finances — and the story comes with an extra layer of weird, including claims the photographer behind the images was later pressured and intimidated. Add in reports the Palace is on watch for any attempt by Andrew or Sarah to cash in by selling royal-linked items from Royal Lodge, plus fresh whispers that Andrew could try the ultimate money-grab: a memoir.<br /><br />And because royal exile loves a mirror, we close with a new take arguing Meghan is starting to look like a modern repeat of Fergie — a duchess outside the machine, still trading on the title, and still sparking endless debate about what “leaving” the monarchy actually means.<br /><br />Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.<br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crown-and-controversy-prince-andrew/id1839279426" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><br />Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.</a><br /><br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/palace-intrigue-presents-king-william/id1842585117" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.</a><br /><br />👑 Follow our hit series <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crown-and-controversy/id1816047861" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crown and Controversy! </a>Season 1 and 2 are fully available now for everyone.
