Sarah Ferguson is still deciding where she will live after leaving Royal Lodge, where she stayed with her ex-husband, the former Prince Andrew.
The author and former Duchess of York is mulling over several ideas for her future home.
Sarah, 66, and Andrew, 65, are leaving Royal Lodge in Windsor after continuing to live under the same roof despite their divorce in 1996. Andrew was told to surrender the lease following the unprecedented decision to strip him of his royal titles amid renewed interest in his past ties with the late Jeffrey Epstein.
“She is assessing a number of options currently, and no final decision has been made,” her spokesman tells PEOPLE.
The spokesman debunked a recent report that Sarah may live in an annex or converted barn at the country home of her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, saying it was not correct.

Staying at the home of her second daughter, Princess Eugenie, in Portugal — which has also been claimed — is also not on the cards.
In October, a source told PEOPLE that Fergie, as she is affectionately known, “is going to be moving out and into a separate home.”
“Contrary to reports, she has never asked for a property or any provision for herself,” the source added. “She will continue to forge an independent life.”
A second source close to Sarah added that she will find her own place and is “going to move forward independently.”

No new address has been given for Andrew, but PEOPLE has been told he will relocate to a property on the Sandringham estate, King Charles’ privately-owned property in Norfolk, about 110 miles north of London.
A palace source has also told PEOPLE that it is unlikely Sarah will relocate to Sandringham.
Royal Lodge holds poignant memories for Fergie, Andrew and their daughters. Princess Eugenie hosted her evening wedding reception at the residence after marrying Jack Brooksbank in 2018, and Princess Beatrice wed Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at the nearby Royal Chapel of All Saints on the estate in 2020.
However, Andrew and Fergie’s stay at the royal residence had been called into question, especially given that they have reportedly not paid rent in 22 years.

The change for the family comes after Buckingham Palace announced on Oct. 30 that King Charles began the process of removing all of Andrew’s royal titles, including prince.
It followed renewed scrutiny over Andrew’s past association with convicted sex offender Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial, and continuing controversy surrounding the allegations tied to their connection.
