Sarah Ferguson steers clear of Prince Andrew-King Charles feud on ‘Good Morning Britain’

Ferguson was faced with an awkward moment on GMB when she was asked about Prince Andrew's feud with King Charles.

Sarah Ferguson skillfully navigated a tricky situation on Good Morning Britain when she avoided a question about Prince Andrew's conflict with King Charles III. 

Speaking with hosts Susanna Reid and Martin Lewis, the Duchess of York focused on her recent health challenges, having been diagnosed with skin cancer earlier this year, shortly after undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

During the conversation, the 64-year-old shared her recovery journey and expressed her dream of appearing in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton. However, the discussion took a sharp turn when Martin Lewis brought up the ongoing feud between King Charles III and Prince Andrew. Referring to the dispute, Martin remarked, "Bit of a damper... obviously, you live with Prince Andrew in Royal Lodge." Pressing further, he asked, "Do we know what's going on with that?" Sarah responded gracefully, "It's not a Debbie Downer [...] I'm a guest, for a start. I'm a very lucky guest and a very comfortable guest."

Sarah's tactful deflection on Good Morning Britain highlights the delicate nature of the royal family's internal disputes, leaving the resolution of this particular conflict squarely in the hands of the royal brothers. She continued, distancing herself from the conflict, "I tend not to get involved in brothers' discussions and I think that's the safest place to be." She emphasized, "Let the brothers discuss it between themselves."

This comes as tensions rise between King Charles and Prince Andrew over the Royal Lodge. The King has reportedly pressured Andrew to vacate the Windsor home, where he has resided with Sarah since signing the lease in 2003. The King's ultimatum suggests that Andrew must move to the smaller Frogmore Cottage, with Prince William reportedly eyeing the Royal Lodge for his future residence.

Prince Andrew, who lost his official duties following his connection to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, has been resistant to the move. King Charles, overseeing the royal finances, has considered restricting funds, including Andrew's £3 million security bill, to encourage his departure.
