Fergie Flees Austrian Spa Amid Epstein Scandal

0:00On April 26, Sarah Ferguson, the 66-year-old former Duchess of York, just bolted from her secret hideout in an upscale Austrian spa after. Photos lead to her spot. She's scrambling for a new safehouse with rich friends, all while bracing for a possible U.S. subpoena tied to the Jeffrey Epstein mess. She'd been holed up for nearly a month at that 2,000 pounds a night wellness spot near Salisburg, keeping super low key with room service meals. And zero outings, never hit the trails or courts. Just one hair appointment, staying glued to chats with daughters Beatrice and Eugenie. Her girls are worried sick about her mental state amid the family fallout from Epstein links, which tamed her rep and got her and ex-husband prince. Andrew booted from their big rural lodge home. She's got history with scandals, but friends say she's got backup who won't ditch her. Now U.S. Congress is circling with a letter demanding she talk about her Epstein ties, like calling him a legend post, his conviction in begging for, cash.

1:01UK cops and agencies are digging too, no charges yet, but she's eyeing the mail nervously. Funding that stay? Big question mark, maybe a book deal or spa perks. She's tired but tough, just craving privacy without strangers knocking. Pals in England or Europe might open doors next, like always in her wild ride.
