Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are reportedly not currently hosting their mother, Sarah Ferguson, as she moves between temporary places to stay.

However, they are still in contact with the former Duchess of York, with an insider claiming the sisters are supporting her from a distance.

The source told a US-based entertainment site that Fergie does not have a permanent home at the moment and has been relying on a small group of close friends for short stays.

"It's important to stress that this isn't a case of Sarah being cut off from her family entirely - there's still communication and a level of support there,” they said.

“But at the same time, the practical reality is that she doesn't currently have a fixed base she can call her own.

"That's why people have started using terms like she's 'effectively homeless' - not in the literal sense of being without options, but because she's moving between temporary arrangements rather than having any long-term stability.

"She's depending heavily on the kindness and discretion of a close circle who are willing to accommodate her quietly. It's a delicate situation, because it requires trust on all sides, and it means her living arrangements are constantly shifting rather than settled."
