Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, despite being divorced for more than two decades, are an example of former royal couples who maintain a close and harmonious relationship.
The couple, who married in 1986 and have two daughters in common, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice share a house in Windsor Great Park, the Royal Lodge, an impressive mansion that has ten rooms and was the former residence of the Queen Mother.
Why are they still living together after their divorce?
The answer seems to lie in the mutual trust and respect they both have for each other. When Andrew’s relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein came to light, Sarah showed her unconditional support for the father of her daughters, despite allegations of sexual assault of a minor against him. In an interview for ITV, Sarah stated that she and Andrew “stand by each other” and that, although they are divorced, she is proud of the work they have done together to raise their daughters and maintain a strong family unit.
“We are divorced, but not in a physical way,” she explained. “We are mutually supportive parents and believe that family is everything. Our mottos are communication, commitment, and compassion.”

Andrew and Sarah’s relationship has been the subject of speculation for years, as neither has rebuilt their separate lives. However, their union appears to be based on friendship and respect, and the two have become great emotional support for each other.
According to a former Royal Lodge worker quoted by the Daily Mail, Sarah is the only one who understands Andrew’s lonely situation, as he receives few visitors and his only outside contact is with her and the lawyers handling the proceedings in the US.
Although their relationship seems solid, the reorganization of the royal residences could pose a problem for the couple. According to some reports, Andrew and Sarah could be forced to leave the Royal Lodge. Regardless, it seems that their friendship and commitment to each other will remain strong. Sarah has stressed that they are mutually supportive parents and will continue to do so.
