Sarah Ferguson may be no stranger to reinvention, but losing the Duchess of York title has reportedly hit hard.

A source told Gb News that the former royal is “in a very bad way” following the removal of the York titles, describing the moment as emotionally bruising even for someone long accustomed to life outside the Firm. 

Still, those close to Ferguson insist resilience remains her trademark. 

“She’ll dust herself down and attempt to reinvent herself again somehow,” the insider said suggesting the familiar Fergie comeback may already be in motion.

The comments came as Sarah and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, stepped back into the public eye for the first time since the title change. 

The pair were seen attending the christening of their granddaughter, Athena, on Thursday morning.

This intimate baptism was held at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, with Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, hosting close family and friends to celebrate the arrival of their second daughter. 

The ceremony marked the former Duke and Duchess of York’s first outing at a royal function since they lost their York titles in October, following renewed scrutiny over their past links to Jeffrey Epstein. 

While the occasion was intimate by design, their presence was widely seen as a carefully measured return to public view.

Princess Beatrice and her husband, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed baby Athena earlier this year after she arrived several weeks ahead of schedule in January. 

The christening, held months later than expected, was reportedly postponed amid the fallout surrounding Athena’s grandparents.

Sources say Beatrice has remained particularly close to her mother throughout the turbulence, leaning on Sarah Ferguson as headlines swirled. 

Her relationship with her father, however, is understood to have grown more strained, reflecting the wider consequences of the scandal on family dynamics.

True to form, Andrew kept firmly out of the spotlight on the day, avoiding photographers and steering clear of any official images taken at the event. 

Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey appeared to be heading toward another shared musical chapter, sparking fresh excitement among fans.

After working together on Wicked, the two stars are now said to be appearing in a new live theatre project.

According to Deadline, Grande and Bailey are in early talks to work in the stage musical Sunday in the Park With George.

The show is rumored to open at London’s Barbican Theatre in the summer of 2027. However, no official announcement has been made yet, as plans are still being finalised.

Sources and insiders of the project, expected to direct by Marianne Elliott, revealed everyone who are involved is hopeful that the project would move forward.

Sunday in the Park With George is a musical inspired by the famous painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by French artist Georges Seurat.

The story followed a fictional painter named George as he worked on the artwork.

In the second part of the show, the story jumped ahead one hundred years and focused on his great grandson, whose name is also George.

He is a modern artist who felt stressed, confused and disconnected from his creativity before finding inspiration through his family’s past.

Moreover, the musical first opened on Broadway in 1984 and it last appeared in the UK between 2005 and 2006.

If confirmed, this production would bring the show back to London for the first time in nearly twenty years.
