Sarah Ferguson could face police questioning as key witness if she returns to UK after Andrew arrest: experts

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, could face renewed scrutiny when she returns to the United Kingdom following the arrest of her ex-husband, formerPrince Andrew, according to royal experts.

Fox News

The former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66,was arrested Feb. 19on suspicion of misconduct in public office as part of an inquiry linked to his ties with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He was released after 11 hours, has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing.

Sarah Ferguson Allegedly Begged Jeffrey Epstein For Job As 'House Assistant' In Newly Revealed Emails

Meanwhile, the 66-year-old Duchess of York has kept a low profile in recent months andher current whereabouts remainunknown. TheU.K.'s DailyMailreported that Ferguson was last seen leaving Royal Lodge, Andrew's former 30-room mansion, in September. Although they divorced in 1996, the pair continued living on the property.

According to People magazine, the duchess reportedly planned to spend a few months overseas — leading royal watchers to speculate over what could await her upon areturn to Britain.

While Ferguson has not been accused of any wrongdoing and no arrest warrant has been issued, legal and royal experts told Fox News Digital that her homecoming could still draw fresh attention to her own past ties to Epstein and raise new questions about whether authorities may seek her cooperation as a witness.

A split of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.

Simarjot Singh Judge, managing partner atJudge Law,said there was little basis for assuming any immediate action by authorities if Ferguson were to return to the U.K. "If there is no arrest warrant, bail condition, or active requirement to attend an interview, the most likely 'first thing' is simply that nothing happens at the border beyond standard entry checks," he explained.

"In the U.K., an arrest generally requires reasonable suspicion of an offense and is typically carried out bypolice when necessary and proportionate," Judge continued. "If police wanted to speak to her, the usual starting point would be contact via lawyers to request a voluntary interview or statement — especially for high-profile cases."

Judge also urged caution regarding online chatter about a possible arrest and weighed in on any potential legal hurdles that Ferguson could face.

"Treat 'arrest rumors' cautiously unless they're backed by credible reporting of a warrant, charge, or formal request," he said. "At the moment, reputable coverage is focused on the wider fallout from the Epstein-linked revelations and on Andrew's situation, not on any formal allegation against Sarah Ferguson."

"Practically, the hurdles, if any, would depend on whether authorities consider her a witness, a person of interest, or neither," Judge added. "Without a warrant or formal process, there's no automatic legal 'trap door' upon arrival."

However, royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that it was widely believed authorities would be interested in speaking with Ferguson upon her return to the U.K. despite the lack of an arrest warrant.

"While I'm not a lawyer, mostlegal analystsbelieve upon her return to the U.K., it would be highly likely she'd be contacted and interviewed as a key relevant witness by either prosecutors or police, but currently there isn't any arrest warrant and to date she has not been referred to as a suspect," Fordwich said. "This though, as we saw with both Andrew and Mandelson, could change at any minute."

Days after Andrew's arrest, British policearrested former U.K. Ambassadorto the U.S. Peter Mandelson on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to allegations he improperly shared sensitive government information with Epstein. He was later released on bail pendingfurther investigationand has not been charged.

Judge shared his opinion on the likelihood that authorities would question Ferguson and whether her potential cooperation would be advantageous for her.

"If authorities believe she has relevant information — communications, introductions, timelines, financial context — she could be useful as a witness," he said.

"Cooperation in the U.K. commonly means: providing documents, giving a witness statement, or attending a voluntary interview through solicitors," Judge continued. "If she is genuinely not suspected of wrongdoing, cooperation can help by clarifying facts early, reducing speculation, and demonstrating transparency — without implying liability."

Fordwich pointed out that as Ferguson does not hold any official royal role, she would not have any special legal protections.

"She is not a working royal, doesn't have HRH status or indeed any formal royal role," Fordwich said. "She doesn't have sovereign immunity or any institutional cover."

"The family has already distanced themselves from her, likewise her former friends and charities," she added. "Mere association with her currently is viewed as totally unacceptable."

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Judge weighed in on how the royal family would handle media relations if Ferguson's return to the U.K. sparked controversy.

"Most likely strategic distance, with strict message discipline: 'This is a matter for the legal authorities' and 'no comment,'" he said. "The Palace typically avoids anything that looks like intervention in policing or courts. Where needed, they might emphasize that Sarah is a private individual and not a working royal — limiting institutional exposure."

Judge said that Ferguson would need to navigate any potential legal concerns independently.

"Even with royal proximity, the Palace cannot and should not be seen to influence legal process," he said. "If she needs legal advice, representation, or crisis comms, that is handled privately via her own team. Recent reporting has portrayed her public position and commercial ties as being under pressure, reinforcing that separation."

Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner shared his view regarding why Ferguson had chosen to stay out of the spotlight rather than address the controversy directly.

"Why has she hidden herself away, probably for fear of being pressurized for spilling the beans, constant media and police surveillance and the fear of becoming a scapegoat," he said.

Judge shared his thoughts on whether Ferguson's choice to remain out of public view was the wisest course of action.

"Staying out of sight is a common crisis tactic when facts are still emerging and headlines are volatile — especially when there is intense reputational heat and any comment could create new angles," he said. "Some reports suggest she has kept a low profile amid renewed scrutiny."

"Whether it's 'wise' depends on the objective: if the priority is legal prudence and reducing missteps, silence can be sensible," Judge continued. "If the priority is reputation repair, prolonged silence can allow narratives to harden — so many advisers prefer a short, carefully lawyered statement that sets boundaries (no wrongdoing alleged, willingness to assist if asked, focus on private health/family) and then goes quiet again."

Judge also weighed on whether Ferguson's return to the U.K. might be received as a redemption arc or alternatively, if it could bring renewed attention to some of her past controversies.

"It risks reopening old chapters, especially if timed alongside ongoing news," he said.  "A 'redemption' framing generally only works when there is closure and clarity. If public interest is still active, the safer route is a low-drama approach: minimal visibility, measured statements through representatives, and avoiding any appearance of spinning."

2 journalists in Belarus imprisoned as part of a crackdown on free speech, media groups say

2 journalists in Belarus imprisoned as part of a crackdown on free speech, media groups say

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — A court inBelarushas convicted two independent journalists on charges of high treason and handed them long prison sentences, the latest move in thegovernment's crackdownon dissent and free speech, a media rights group said Friday.

Russia Belarus

Uladzimir Yanukevich, 65, who founded and edited the Intex-Press and BAR24 media outlets, was given a 14-year sentence, while his 44-year-old colleague Andrei Pakalenka was handed a 12-year sentence, the rights group said. Their media sites were among the most popular in Belarus.

The Regional Court in Brest, a city on the border with Poland, held the proceedings behind closed doors and details of the charges remain unclear. State television carried a report alleging the journalists had links to the German Embassy.

"These horrific sentences show that the authorities have no intention of halting the most sweeping repressions against journalists in Europe, now in its sixth year," Belarusian Association of Journalists head Andrei Bastunets told The Associated Press. "Any dissent is harshly punished by the authorities."

Yanukevich, who has serious health issues, has been denied proper medical assistance while in custody. the association said.

President Alexander Lukashenko hasruled Belarus for over three decades, maintaining his grip on power through a relentless crackdown on dissent. Following a 2020 election that was widely seen as rigged, hundreds of thousands took to the streets in protest, with more than 65,000 people arrested, thousands beaten, and hundreds of independent media outlets and nongovernmental organizations closed and outlawed.

Currently, 28 independent journalists are imprisoned in Belarus, according to Bastunets' group.

Yanukevich and Pakalenka were among seven Intex-Press journalists arrested in December 2024 after searches of their editorial offices and homes. In August 2025, four of them were convicted of aiding "extremist activities" and sentenced to a kind of work-release program at designated factories.

Accusations of extremism are widely used by the Belarusian authorities to muzzle independent voices.

Also on Friday, the Minsk City Court opened a trial of another independent journalist, Pavel Dabravolski, who also faces charges of high treason. Dabravolski, who has worked for Belarusian and international media outlets, has been in custody since his arrest in January 2025.

"Journalism is not a crime, and the convicted journalists are victims of the authorities who are building a totalitarian state," exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya told AP. "Lukashenko's regime fears the truth more than anything."

Belarus has faced years of Western isolation andsanctionsfor its crackdown and for allowing Moscow to use its territory in the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Recently, Lukashenko has sought torepair relations with the West,releasing hundreds of political prisoners.

At the same time, the Belarusian authorities have continued their suppression of dissent. According to the Viasna human rights group, Belarus currently has 1,143 political prisoners.

Alabama QB Ty Simpson is short on experience, but he could be a first-round pick

February 27, 2026
Alabama QB Ty Simpson is short on experience, but he could be a first-round pick

Ty Simpson had just 15 career starts at quarterback for Alabama in college, but he doesn't see that as a problem heading into the NFL Draft.

Yahoo Sports

"I feel like I'm ready," Simpson said Fridayvia Spencer German of 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland. "I'm a franchise quarterback."

He'll just need one NFL team to agree.

Simpson is projected to be the second quarterback off the board in the NFL Draft, but long after Fernando Mendoza, whois expected to go first overallto the Las Vegas Raiders. Simpson is the only quarterback other than Mendoza inthe latest mock draft first round from Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice and Charles McDonald.

Simpson's case is more complicated than Mendoza or many other first-round quarterbacks. Simpson barely played his first three seasons at Alabama, attempting only 50 passes. Then he emerged last season.

He played well, but lack of experience is a stumbling point for many NFL teams looking at a quarterback early in the draft. Simpson knows that and argued that his college experience was more than just the games. He mentioned his freshman season lining up in practice against a defense that included future NFL starters like Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr.

"The Alabama locker room is as close to a locker room in the NFL as you can get," Simpson said on the podium during his NFL scouting combine media availability,via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

The one thing working in Simpson's favor is he was really good last season. He threw for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns with only five interceptions. He played through injuries over the latter part of the season, or the numbers might have been even better.

It was just one season starting, but Simpson said he learned a lot over the course of it.

"I had command of the offense, I had command of the line of scrimmage, and I think that's what helped us a lot getting us in the right play call, getting us in the right check and getting us the right protection," Simpson saidvia Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram and Medina Gazette.

"I did a better job later in the year taking completions and cutting the field in half and taking what they give me. But I also think later during the year, instead of worrying about other stuff like the rush or what blitz are they bringing or how are they pressuring, staying in the pocket and maybe taking a hit. Better pocket presence."

That's the type of progress teams would expect to see from a first-time starter.

"Just simple stuff that is easy fixes but you can get caught up in," Simpson said.

ecause this quarterback class isn't very deep at the top, it could push Simpson up. This offseason there are multiple teams looking for a quarterback of the future and a quarterback to start now as well. Perhaps a team later in the first round could draft Simpson and let him learn for a year. Teams like the Jets and Rams have extra first-round picks and different quarterback issues to solve — the Rams need to find an eventual replacement for Matthew Stafford while the Jets don't have anyone viable at all for 2026 — so perhaps one of those teams ends up as a landing spot.

There aren't many obvious future starting NFL quarterbacks in this draft class. Simpson will wait to see which team views him as one.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United's cost forfiring Ruben Amorimcould reach 15.9 million pounds ($21.4 million), the Premier League club said in a financial filing.

Manchester United Amorim Costs

Amorim was fired as head coach on Jan. 5 after just 14 months in the job, with the announcement coming shortly after he madeprovocative commentsabout his position within United's hierarchy.

"A charge of £6.3 million for the write-off of related intangible assets and a provision of £15.9 million, representing the maximum potential amount of future settlement payments, will be recognized in the statement of profit or (loss) during the second half of the year ending 30 June 2026," the club wrote of its Amorim-related costs.

The 6.3 million pounds ($8.5 million) is related to the cost ofhiring Amorimfrom Sporting Lisbon in November 2024.

The figure of 15.9 million pounds represents United's potential maximum owed to Amorim and his coaching staff. The filing didn't specify but media reports indicate the final figure includes factors such as if, or when, Amorim gets a new job.

United's share price closed at $17.62 Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange. The club isowned by the Glazer familyfrom the United States andBritish billionaire Jim Ratcliffe.

The 20-time English champion hashired Michael Carrickon a contract to the end of the season, and the former United player has overseen the team's rise to fourth place in the Premier League ahead of Sunday's game against Crystal Palace.

Who Is Rob Rausch's Girlfriend? What We Know About “The Traitors ”Season 4 Winner’s Mystery Romance

February 27, 2026
Who Is Rob Rausch's Girlfriend? What We Know About

Love Island's Rob Rausch won season 4 of Peacock's reality competition series The Traitors

People Rob Rausch attends

NEED TO KNOW

  • During the reunion, which premiered on Feb. 26, he revealed that he has been in a relationship for the past two months

  • The reality TV star said that he wanted to keep his girlfriend's identity private

Rob Rauschis officially off the market.

After winning the$220,800 prizeon season 4 ofThe Traitors, the Alabama-raised reality star confirmed to reunion hostAndy Cohenthat he was in a relationship. And like the rest of the series fans who fell in love with the snake wrangler, the host was shocked.

"At the moment you become America's heartthrob, you lock it down," Cohen said. The reality star quipped back, "Just my luck."

Unlike the very public love triangle he found himself in withLeah KatebandAndrea Carmonaon season 6 ofLove Island USA, Rausch has kept this romance private, choosing not to reveal his girlfriend's identity.

So who is Rob Rausch's girlfriend? Here's what we know about her relationship with the reality TV star.

They started dating in December 2025

During the season 4Traitorsreunion, Rausch confirmed that he had been in a relationship for the past two months.

Since the reunion was pre-taped and filmed on Feb. 12, according to contestantLisa Rinna'sTikTok, that would put the official start of his new romance sometime in December 2025.

Although he's been in the spotlight since appearing on season 6 ofLove Island USA, Rausch also expressed that fame isn't a major priority for him. He toldGQin February 2026 that though reality TV changed his life financially, he wouldn't mind stepping away from public attention.

"At the end of the day, I have to constantly remind myself, especially lately, that I don't really care," Rausch told the outlet. "If it ever got really bad, I would literally fall off the face of the earth, and it wouldn't bother me at all."

After winningThe Traitors, Rob said in the finale that whoever is his next girlfriend would be, she would have to not be a big fan of reality TV — otherwise he might not have a great shot with her after all the lying he had to do on the show.

"Now I just have to find a nice girl that hasn't watched TV too much, then I think a nice farm, maybe some kids running around," he said. "I want to have a quiet life."

In a February 2026 interview withThe Cut, Rausch revealed that he was in the middle of a woodworking project for his girlfriend. But like her identity, theLove Islandalum didn't reveal any more details.

Rausch admitted to "flirting a bit" with Maura Higgins onThe Traitors

Throughout the fourth season ofThe Traitors, fans felt the bond between Rausch andMaura Higginswas more than just strategic. However, when Cohen asked them point-blank if anything romantic had happened between them, they both said no.

"We were genuinely just friends," Higgins said, with Rausch chiming in, "Yeah, we never did anything."

Nothing physical may have occurred between the two, but the reality star did admit to a little harmless flirting during the show, despite Higgins insisting that they didn't.

"I mean, we probably flirted a little bit," he said, later joking that he probably ruined his chance with Higgins after lying to her about being a traitor.

Robert Cosby Jr. was featured several times on "RHOSLC," including in a candid and emotional conversation he had with his mother over his substance abuse issues.

Cosby Jr., who Mary Cosby described as a high-achieving, straight-A student growing up, told his mother he had been taking Xanax, along with a slew of other drugs, since he was 16.

"I won't judge you. I can try to help you, but you have to help yourself because I'm not going to support it," a tearful Mary Cosby told her son. "You know I'm not."

Robert Cosby Jr., son of "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby, died on Feb. 23, 2026, at 23.

"I just feel very disappointed with myself," she added in a confessional interview. "I feel like I let him down somewhere. I do know that Robert did smoke weed. I do know he would eat edibles, but yet I just trusted him in my mind, thinking that's where he would stop. And I was clearly wrong."

The conversation was lauded when it aired for its tenderness. The reality star has also stood by him in recent years, speaking openly about his struggles.

"I can just only push him, encourage him and love him. And that's what I'm doing," she said during an appearance on SiriusXM's "Reality Checked" in September.
