Sarah Ferguson 'freeloading off friends' in ski lodge exile but huge question loomsIt's been revealed that Sarah Ferguson has been staying at an exclusive £2000 a night ski chalet, leading one expert to slam her as the 'Queen of Freebies'NewsEmma Mackenzie Features Writer21:23, 18 Apr 2026View 4 ImagesFergie has finally been found at an exclusive ski chalet after going into hiding for months(Image: TOPSTAR / BACKGRID)After going to ground for 213 days, Sarah Ferguson has finally been found.‌No one had seen hide nor hair of Fergie, 66, since last September when she was pictured with her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and the rest of the Royal Family at the Duchess of Kent's funeral. Sarah, who has been no stranger to scandal over the decades she has lived in the public eye, has been in hiding since more revelations continued to emerge about her ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with the controversy and outcry a long way from settling down. Fergie strenuously denies any wrongdoing.‌Now known to have been hiding at a luxury ski chalet that costs £2000 a night, in an Austrian village, Sarah was spotted trying to go incognito - with her trademark red hair carefully tucked into a baseball cap and green glasses covering her eyes, as she stepped out of a blacked out car. With her commercial prospects in tatters and evicted from her former home of Royal Lodge - a 30-room mansion she shared with Andrew until February - the question of how the former Duchess of York might have been paying for this luxury accommodation was immediately raised. One royal expert believes he has the answer: claiming she is nothing less than the 'Queen of Freebies'.‌READ MORE: Royal fans can peek into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's new home on 'safari' tourREAD MORE: Andrew flung 'disgusting' insult at Fergie over her appearance at lunchIt was only days after the Duchess of Kent's funeral, when Sarah had been...
