  "textContent": "\n\n\nSarah Ferguson has been \"really hit\" by the situation surrounding her and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, but the royal still \"thinks she can bounce back\".\n\nThe former Duchess of York has come under scrutiny following the release of the Epstein files by the US Department of Justice, with Ms Ferguson appearing to be named numerous times.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAn insider told People that the former duchess \"always thinks she can bounce back\", but warned that the scale of \"this isn't something that can blow over\".\n\nMs Ferguson has not been seen since September 2025, when she was pictured being driven out of Royal Lodge in Windsor.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA friend of Ms Ferguson explained that \"this has really hit her\", with the duchess taking herself off to Switzerland following her last public appearance at her granddaughter Athena's Christening at St James's Palace on December 12.\n\nThe former duchess is reported to have been spending a large amount of her time at the £13,000-a-day Paracelsus Recovery Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland.\n\n\"Sarah left for Zurich just after Christmas, and stayed until the end of January,\" a Swiss source told the Daily Mail, who uncovered the details.\n\nThe source continued: \"She always feels at home at Paracelsus, and knows she'll get love and attention there, as well as expert health treatment when she's feeling at her most vulnerable.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Plaque commemorating Andrew remains on show after nearby display removed\n  * Anne receives unique honour ahead of major sporting evening\n  * Sophie greeted by Union Jacks during first solo Northern Ireland visit in eight years\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Ferguson has worked with the organisation before, posting a photo with the clinic's founder about the importance of looking after your mental health.\n\nAnother friend in Switzerland said the 66-year-old has been \"absolutely crushed\" by the alleged email exchanges between the former duchess and Epstein.\n\n\"Sarah has built up a strong relationship with Paracelsus, so it was the obvious place for her to get away from everything,\" the friend told the Daily Mail.\n\nMs Ferguson is understood to have spent time in the French Alps and the United Arab Emirates following the lengthy stay at the clinic.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe former Duchess of York previously discussed the clinic's work after spending time there in June 2025.\n\nAccording to a friend of the 66-year-old, the former duchess is said to be \"in the depths of despair\".\n\nThe friend explained: \"She feels deeply depressed and that the world is out to get her. She is very, very down. Some people, including Sarah herself, are worried for her mental health.\n\n\"[But] what she doesn't appear to feel is remorse for what has happened. She just wants this to all go away and allow her to get on with her life. Her head is in the sand.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Ferguson has stated in the past her regret with being associated with Epstein, saying: \"I would never have anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again. I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children. It was a gigantic error of judgment.\"\n\nAppearing in the Epstein files does not suggest any evidence of wrongdoing or misconduct.\n\nGB News has contacted Sarah Ferguson and Paracelsus Recover in Zurich for comment.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
