Sarah Ferguson was summoned to Buckingham Palace, shortly after her ex-husband Prince Andrew was pictured at the Queen‘s London residence.

The Queen allegedly requested Fergie visit Buckingham Palace, reports Express. The mother-of-two appeared to be in good spirits as she arrived, according to Hello.
Just hours before, Prince Andrew was spotted exiting his vehicle in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.
Earlier in the day, the Duke of York was photographed leaving his house for the first time since he resigned from his public duties. Though alone, the 59-year-old appeared to be smiling as he pulled away from the Royal Lodge. He was later seen waving at people waiting outside his home in Windsor.
What’s more, his security team were said to have distributed tea and Waitrose biscuits to photographers waiting on the premises.
Sarah Ferguson shared her support for her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, following his explosive interview with BBC Newsnight. The 60-year-old posted three photos of the Duke of York on Instagram, accompanied by the following caption:
“It is so rare to meet people that are able to speak from their hearts with honesty and pure real truth, that remain steadfast and strong to their beliefs;
“Andrew is a true and real gentleman and is stoically steadfast to not only his duty but also his kindness and goodness of always seeing the best in people;
“I am deeply supportive and proud of this giant of a principled man, that dares to put his shoulder to the wind and stands firm with his sense of honour and truth;
“For so many years he has gone about his duties for Great Britain and The Monarch;
“It is time for Andrew to stand firm now, and that he has, and I am with him every step of the way and that is my honour;
“We have always walked tall and strong, he for me and me for him. We are the best examples of joint parenting, with both our girls and I go back to my three C’s ..Communicate, Compromise, Compassion.”
Over the past year, Prince Andrew has been facing questions over his ties to the late Epstein, a wealthy 66-year-old American who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Last weekend, Queen Elizabeth II’s 59-year-old son discussed his relationship to Epstein and the sexual assault accusations against Epstein in an interview with BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis.
His daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have not joined their mother in making a public statement, and Palace insiders told The Telegraph that the Queen did not approve the interview.
The Duke of York has faced a great deal of backlash since the interview and has since been forced to step back from public life.
