The former **** ss of York is expected "back in the UK shortly", a source close to her has told the BBC.
Sarah Ferguson was thought to be living abroad after she was forced to move out of Royal Lodge in Windsor, which she shared with her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in October.
Ferguson had last seen in public at the **** ss of Kent's funeral the previous month.
She is reportedly renting out a gated property in the Home Counties, according to the Sun newspaper.
Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson relinquished their royal **** les following increased scrutiny and revelations surrounding their links to disgraced financier and **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
