It wasn’t just Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor who was implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, as emails revealed that his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, also remained in contact with the disgraced financier.
Since both Sarah and Andrew were evicted from Royal Lodge, the former Duchess of York has been staying out of the public eye. Sarah has reportedly been spending time in Switzerland and the UAE, but according to a report in the Daily Mail, she is now much closer to home.
The publication has claimed that earlier this month, Sarah headed to the Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa in Donegal, Ireland. The resort is a firm favourite of the 66-year-old, who has visited in the past. Sharing a TikTok video from the location previously, she said: “I find things get sometimes overwhelming, I just try and take myself off to the most beautiful, wonderful blast of fresh air.”
In the video, she also said: “Hello everybody! I’m here in Donegal….Looking at the ocean, looking at the beach, looking at the shells. It’s great to be in the wind and just getting fresh air on my face. The benefits of getting some fresh air everyday really can do wonders for you. Thank you Donegal!”

It’s unclear where Sarah currently intends to live following the fallout of the release of the Epstein Files. However, a source told HELLO! last month that she would not be joining Andrew in his move to Norfolk. “She has stood by him all these years but is now ready to spread her wings.”
They continued: “She won’t be moving in with him to the new house on the Sandringham Estate. She won’t be moving into Beatrice’s Cotswolds home though. Eugenie’s home in Portugal is a contender while she finds somewhere.”
Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa declined to comment when HELLO! reached out.
Swiss resort
Sarah reportedly booked herself into the Paracelsus Recovery Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, in the wake of further allegations about her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The world-renowned resort charges guests £76k a week, and it’s believed that Sarah spent time there between December and January.
Paracelcus offers access to a minimum of 15 dedicated professionals per high-profile or wealthy visitor, as well as check-ins from experts at their private lakefront penthouse for up to 10–12 hours a day.

Sarah has long held an affinity with Switzerland, previously owning a chalet in Verbier that was reportedly sold for £22 million in 2022.
Andrew’s ex-wife would regularly be seen skiing in the area during the winter holidays, often being joined by her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa
The resort is located in the village of Ballyliffin, towards the north of Ireland, and is a luxury four-star hotel. The venue boasts 40 rooms and award-winning chefs and can be booked as a wedding venue or a base of operations for a golfing excursion.s
