Shouldn't it still say Prince Andrew, Duke of York, under husband? He used the title, during the whole time she was married to him. GoodDay (talk) 05:08, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

It really does not matter much. He was Prince Andrew throughout their marriage too. Surtsicna (talk) 14:43, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Her relationship with Epstein should have its own article

[edit]

With how much it has been developing, I feel Fergie deserves an article with her relationship with Epstein, especially as her ex-husband was just arrested. VLWABC (talk) 17:05, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oppose 1) She is not her ex-husband, so just because he has a similar article we are under no obligation to create one for her. 2) The section on her ties to Epstein is 4 paragraphs at most. That hardly creates the necessity for starting a new page. That being said, Ferguson's relationship with Epstein is less notable or controversial than figures like Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Ehud Barak, etc. I think we should start with the big names and then work our way down the chain.

Oppose There is not enough content for a separate article at this time. cookiemonster755 (talk) 17:45, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Peerage title

[edit]
  • On 17 October 2025, following her former husband Andrew's agreement to cease using his peerage titles, it was reported that Ferguson would no longer use "Duchess of York" as a courtesy title. On 21 October, she removed the title from her social media page handles.

Andrew initially agreed to cease using his titles, but later had them formally stripped from him by the King. Up until that latter point, he could hypothetically have changed his mind and resumed calling himself Duke of York. And Sarah could have done likewise with her courtesy title Duchess of York. But that is no longer possible.

Do we not need to say something about this change of status? As it is now, it reads like it's a possibility, however remote, that she could resume calling herself Duchess of York. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 18:23, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

But neither of them did so during that two week period. So this seems more like hypothesizing about what could have possibly happened had they refused to stand by Andrew's statement. But if there is a reliable secondary source that points this scenario out, then that warrants its inclusion. Keivan.fTalk 18:45, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Introduction confusing wording

[edit]

There is no reason to list the family tree of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the sentence describing who she is married to. It reads very confusingly with the final clause, "and the brother of King Charles III" is ambiguous whether it refers to Andrew or Sarah. ~2026-28303-81 (talk) 16:38, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I've simplified it, but since it says 'brother' and Sarah is a woman, I think it is clear that clause refers to Andrew. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:53, 12 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
