Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are currently holding out hope for a miracle of sorts, one that sources say only Princess Eugenie can provide with her pregnancy announcement.

For those unversed, much of the media has taken to the news positively and that is ignited Andrew and Fergie’s hopes according to some reports.

Regarding this, the source told Heat World, “Andrew and Sarah are so happy for Eugenie. Even though she keeps her distance from them publicly, they were amongst the first to receive the news along with Beatrice.”

Given the circumstances surrounding them It’s said the divorced duo feels “without doubt” this is one of the most “difficult consequences” of their exile that “they’ve really struggled to deal with, but the saving grace is that they still stay in touch [with the girls] and see them whenever they can.”

However, is said that simultaneously the former York’s are holding out hope that Eugenie’s pregnancy turns into a potential lifeline and “hopefully a turning point that works in their favour,” especially as the royals are “being so positive and effusive towards Eugenie in light of the news.”

Its to the extent that the source admits the announcement has “emboldened” Andrew and Sarah as “they’re now convinced the girls can fight their corner and campaign for the likes of Charles to give them more of a break moving forward.”

For those unversed with the circumstances currently enveloping the ex-Yorks, here is the breakdown. Sarah Ferguson has gone into hiding and is said to remain there unless an oppertunity 'too good to pass up' comes her way.

As for what got her into this in the first place, it began once the details of her personal life and friendship with Jeffrey Epstein came to the forefront due to the DOJ's decision to release the Epstein Files.

Andrew faces something similar, and its connected to the reasons he got his titles, his dukedom and his honors revoked, which is his connection to the same financer.

Furthermore, was the allegation that he engaged in misconduct while in public office, as a Trade Envoy to the UK that he even wound up arrested over. Some say during this time he even shared information with Epstein.
