Here's a juicy royal twist! Lately, whispers have been floating around suggesting that Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the former royal couple, might be rekindling their relationship more than two decades after their high-profile 1996 divorce. Now, while it’s clear the Duke and Duchess of York aren’t romantically involved today, they remain incredibly close—and here’s the kicker—they reportedly still live under the same roof. So, is there more to this story than meets the eye?
Curiosity about their connection intensified when Sarah posted a heartwarming photo featuring herself, Prince Andrew, and their daughter Princess Beatrice laughing together at Royal Ascot. The caption read, “Great day with my family.” Fans couldn’t help but speculate. One commenter wrote, “Still look lovely together… I so hope this is the beginning of something new.” Another added, “She makes him laugh. Wish you would get back together. Clearly still in love with one another.” But what exactly does this enigmatic picture mean?

Let’s Rewind: A Look Back at Their Love Story
Time for a little history lesson. Prince Andrew, now 58, and Sarah Ferguson, also 58, have known each other since they were kids. Back in the day, they’d often bump into each other at those swanky polo matches, but their formal re-introduction happened at the Royal Ascot in 1985. Fast forward a year, and Prince Andrew popped the question with a dazzling 10-carat Burmese ruby ring surrounded by diamonds. They tied the knot in a grand royal wedding at London’s Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986. Talk about a fairytale!
Life was sweet for a while. In August 1988, they welcomed their first child, Princess Beatrice of York, now 29. Two years later, little Princess Eugenie of York, now 28, joined the family in March 1990. However, after about six years of marriage, Andrew and Sarah announced their separation in March 1992. Their divorce became official in May 1996, marking the end of their romantic journey—or did it?

What Happened After Their Divorce?
Even after their split, Sarah and Andrew continued living together at their Sunninghill Park estate in Berkshire, England. But in 2004, Prince Andrew moved out to reside at his late grandmother’s royal property. Fast forward to 2013, Queen Elizabeth surprisingly invited Sarah to stay at the royal family’s summer home, Balmoral Castle, in Scotland. Fans were buzzing, thinking this meant Sarah might be back in the monarchy’s good books and could potentially remarry Andrew.

When asked in 2013 if she’d ever remarry Andrew, Fergie playfully responded, “He’s still my handsome prince, he’ll always be my handsome prince.” Today, it’s rumored that the former couple still lives together at the Royal Lodge at Windsor. They also jointly purchased a nearly $17 million ski lodge in Switzerland in 2016. Plus, they regularly attend royal events, charity engagements, and outings with their daughters as a team.
Are They Back Together? The Final Verdict
In an October 2016 interview, Sarah hinted that she and Andrew are kind of an item now. “We’re divorced to each other right now [but] we’ve never really left each other,” she said. When asked directly if they were still together, she replied with a simple “Yes.” So, are Fergie and Andrew really a couple today? It seems they’re best friends and excellent co-parents to their girls but aren’t romantically involved—at least for now. But hey, who knows? Love can be unpredictable!
