Sarah Ferguson sparked reactions with her shocking absence from a wedding of a loved one amid the ongoing controversy.
The former Duchess of York was notably absent from the wedding of her niece, Heidi Luedecke, who is the daughter of her older sister Jane.
Heidi married art consultant Ben Collinson at All Saints Church in Dummer.
According to royal expert Richard Eden, pals of Sarah expressed their concern over her absence.
"Sarah would have been surrounded by love had she turned up. She could have kept a low profile without too many problems," the source shared.
In an old interview with the Daily Mail, Sarah talked about her fondness for her niece.
"She is my golden niece, whom I love so much. I’m devoted to lovely Ben and Heidi," Beatrice and Eugenie's mother said.
Since her personal, professional and royal downfall, Sarah has been keeping a low profile.
