Sarah Ferguson Removes Duchess of York Title From Official Records Following Royal Scandal

Sarah Ferguson has officially dropped her Duchess of York title from her business records and social media profiles following Prince Andrew's decision to cease using his Duke of York title amid the Epstein scandal. This change is reflected in her company, Planet Partners Productions Limited, where she now uses her birth name and updated role titles, signaling a strategic rebrand to protect her career from the fallout. The Royal Family's website has also removed references to Prince Andrew's dukedom, with King Charles and Prince William supporting the move to distance the family from the controversy. Ferguson's rebranding aims to shift away from the monarchy's liabilities and secure her financial future, as she continues to work as a charity patron, spokesperson, writer, and TV presenter. Despite the loss of her title, she remains active publicly, though the change marks the first time since 1923 that no royal family member holds the Duchess of York title. The decision underscores the broader royal response to the scandal and its impact on associated members' public and professional lives.
