As per the report, Ferguson’s daughter Princess Eugenie has “all but moved in” to the Royal Lodge, where the duchess lives with Prince Andrew, to look after her mother. “I’m going to get super fit, super strong … and look at it straight on.” Ferguson recently celebrated the birth of her new grandchild, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, the son of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. During an appearance on Good Morning America in March, Ferguson said it’s been “really difficult” to watch the disgraced duke endure “withering public scrutiny”.
