Ferguson has returned to England while keeping a low profile. She was reported to be renting a six-bedroom home near London for about $8,000 a month after spending time abroad as legal scrutiny around Prince Andrew continued.
The reporting comes amid ongoing controversy over Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein; he has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged. Ferguson has not been accused of any crimes. Sources say Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are focusing on protecting their children and trying to stay out of the public controversy. Separately, Charles Spencer's new memoir about Princess Diana prompted a measured palace response regarding memory and grief.
