A well-placed royal source said: “It’s obvious today that Sarah’s financial ties to Epstein lasted far longer than people realized. “She’s deeply anxious about what could surface next – and she fears Andrew could take her down too. “That’s why she’s preparing to point the finger elsewhere.”
Prince William, 43, is said to be pressing to have the pair removed from Royal Lodge entirely.
“William’s reached his limit,” the source added.
“He thinks keeping them at Royal Lodge damages the monarchy’s image.
“Charles has simply held back so far out of loyalty, but that has run out today.”
With Fergie and Andy facing financial strain and social exile, even their daughters may be drawn into the fallout.
“Beatrice and Eugenie are both financially stable, but there’s growing chatter that they might need to step in and help their parents,” a family associate said. “They adore them, of course – but even their patience is starting to wear thin.”
Another insider warned: “Sarah’s playing a dangerous game. If she throws Andrew under the bus, it might slash her career – but it could destroy what’s left of their family.”
