According to the sports media platform
Pundit Arena, the odds are 1/3 that Sarah Ferguson will be stripped of her titles, with 9/4 odds that she will retain her royal status. "The past few days have seen Sarah Ferguson lose support from a number of charities and the Duchess of York has now been heavily tipped to be stripped of her royal titles," company spokesperson
Joe Lyons said in a statement. "At 1/3, Ferguson is firmly odds-on to lose her credentials. While nothing official has been confirmed by the palace, the duchess looks unlikely to stay and keep her royal titles, which is conversely priced at 9/4." Ferguson is not a working royal.

Sarah Ferguson's latest scandal kicked off when an alleged 2011 email she sent to Jeffrey Epstein leaked. In the reported correspondence, the 65-year-old apologized to the late financier for publicly slamming him in an interview. "I know you feel hellaciously let down by me. And I must humbly apologize to you and your heart for that," the Duchess of York allegedly wrote. "You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family. I am apologizing to you today for not replying to your email or reaching out to you. I was bedridden with fear. I was paralyzed."

Sarah Ferguson's representative released a statement addressing the scandal. "The duchess spoke of her regret about her association with [Jeffrey] Epstein many years ago and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims. Like many people, she was taken in by his lies. As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with [abusing children]. She does not resile from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats," the rep said.

The decision to strip Sarah Ferguson and her ex-husband Prince Andrew — who also had ties to Jeffrey Epstein — of their royal titles has reportedly caused a rift between
King Charles III and
Prince William. "William feels even more strongly than the king that Andrew and Fergie are an embarrassment and will be urging his father to act," a
source said. "The optics of that pair of chancers guffawing away at events look terrible. But the king doesn't want to cut ties with his brother, former sister-in-law and that side of the family."
