Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew famously describe themselves as “the world’s happiest unmarried couple”, living together at the Royal Lodge and taking regular family holidays with their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie since their initially acrimonious divorce in 1996.
But while Buckingham Palace insiders say the Duke and Duchess of York have “never left each other”, one royal commentator warns remarriage could be disastrous for the already embattled House of Windsor.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Richard Fitzwilliam branded Fergie “a disaster as a royal” and said the relationship “should not be taken to another layer”, Express.co.uk reports.
“Sarah Ferguson was not successful as a royal,” Mr Fitzwilliam bluntly declared.
Yet the notion of a second marriage for Fergie and Andrew has attracted support from the British public, with many social media users calling for a reunion on the official Instagram accounts of various members of the royal family.
Fergie and ex-husband Andrew, the second and reportedly favourite son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, have sparked remarriage rumours since last year when Fergie received the Queen’s approval to attend her former nephew Prince Harry‘s royal wedding to Meghan Markle in May, 2018.
The nod was noted as Fergie was not invited to the royal wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles‘ eldest son Prince William to Kate Middleton in April, 2011.
Since then, the flame haired Duchess has attended a string of royal events, including her own daughter Princess Eugenie‘s wedding to Jack Brooksbank last October, the preview of Trooping the Colour in May and Royal Ascot in June where she chatted with the Queen in the Royal Box.
Fergie also went on holiday to Bahrain with the Duke of York, their eldest daughter Princess Beatrice and her new boyfriend Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in April, fueling speculation that the Duke and his ex-wife are more than good friends.
On Friday night, the Duchess stepped out in the upscale London borough of Mayfair and set tongues wagging by wearing a matching necklace, bracelet and earrings – part of the famous York Diamond Demi-Parure – which were gifted to her by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on her wedding day to Prince Andrew in 1986.
The ‘York Diamond Demi-Parure’ is a set bought by Her Majesty at famed London jeweller Garrard, along with the York Tiara.
Buckingham Palace has thus far declined to comment on remarriage rumours regarding the Yorks, but sources say “Andrew is doing everything he can to bring Fergie back into the royal fold.”
Since the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s third child Prince Louis last April, Fergie and Prince Andrew no longer need the Queen‘s permission to wed now that the Duke is seventh in line to the throne, per the Royal Marriages Act of 1772.
Another royal wedding before the year is out, perhaps?!
