Duchess of York sells Belgravia home ‘for £400k loss’
Sarah Ferguson sold her Belgravia townhouse for £3.85 million, accepting a £400,000 loss on an investment intended for her daughters, as the prime London market declines 4.7% this year.
- Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, sold her Belgravia in August for 3.85 million, a 400,000 loss from the 4.25 million she paid three years ago, Land Registry shows.
- Bought as an investment for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, the Belgravia house was let to a tenant who later bought it, with proceeds set to be reinvested, James Henderson said last week.
- The 10 per cent hit on the sale aligns with broader central London declines, with the Coutts London Prime Property Index showing Belgravia prices remain over 20% below peak and experts noting the duchess may have avoided a deeper loss.
- The sale occurred amid renewed scrutiny of the couple's association with Jeffrey Epstein, with charities including the British Heart Foundation and Teenage Cancer Trust ending ties last week; sources suggested proceeds could support their stay at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
- King Charles has privately suggested they might downsize to Frogmore Cottage, while Prince Andrew can stay at Royal Lodge until 2078 if properly maintained; last year, funds to remain at the £30m estate had unclear origins.
