Sarah Ferguson reportedly broke down in tears when she learned of her ex-husband Prince Andrew's arrest on February 19, his 66th birthday. According to sources speaking to RadarOnline, the Duchess of York reacted with an emotional outburst described as a 'childlike tantrum' upon hearing the news.

Andrew was detained by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office as authorities renewed scrutiny of his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The arrest comes years after Epstein's 2019 death while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Ferguson and Andrew, who married in 1986 and divorced in 1996, have maintained an unusually close relationship, continuing to share Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Sources say Ferguson feels deeply shaken by the renewed media attention and legal developments. With the royal family unable to publicly support Andrew during the ongoing investigation, she reportedly feels isolated and vulnerable. The constant global coverage has intensified her distress, with insiders noting she's 'genuinely worried' about the potential long-term consequences for both herself and Andrew as the legal process unfolds.
