Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has gone out of her way to shield Prince Andrew from the fallout of the Epstein scandal, often stepping into the role of public defender when his reputation has sunk to new lows. She has dismissed or downplayed the seriousness of the allegations against him, framing Andrew as a victim of circumstance rather than a man credibly accused of exploiting his position and maintaining ties with a convicted sex offender. Instead of addressing the gravity of his actions or his disastrous attempts at self-defense, Ferguson has cloaked her support in the language of loyalty, portraying Andrew as misunderstood and unfairly maligned. This pattern of defense has made her look less like a voice of reason and more like an enabler, eager to protect royal image rather than acknowledge harsh truths.

Her willingness to defend Andrew in the face of overwhelming public condemnation has only fueled criticism that she, too, is more concerned with preserving proximity to royal privilege than standing on principle. Ferguson has gone so far as to frame Andrew’s disgrace as an unfortunate twist of fate rather than a consequence of his own judgment and associations, a spin that insults survivors and insults the intelligence of the public. By circling the wagons around him, she has become another layer in the wall of protection that Andrew has enjoyed all his life—proof that the royal family’s instinct for self-preservation often trumps accountability. In defending him so vigorously, Ferguson has cemented her own reputation as part of the problem, willing to carry water for a man forever tied to one of the most infamous scandals of the modern monarchy.
