Sarah Ferguson arrives for first summer break at Balmoral in 25 YEARS amid Andrew sex scandal after Philip banned her

FERGIE was set for her first Balmoral summer break after more than 25 YEARS after arriving at the Queen's home with Prince Andrew yesterday.

The Duchess of York was BANNED by Prince Philip after her bitter split and divorce in the 1990s.

Fergie, 62, who lives with Andy, 61, at Royal Lodge in Windsor, was usually kicked out of Balmoral when Philip arrived for the annual summer trip.

But the Duke of Edinburgh died aged 99-years-old in April and this summer will be the first time the entire royal clan has met since his funeral.

Philip had always refused to be under the same roof as Fergie since her divorce from Prince Andrew in 1996.

Insiders say he blamed her for publicly humiliating the Queen and the Royal Family over the years.

Fergie was staying at Balmoral when toe-sucking photos were published in August 1992.

The duchess, mother of Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, was still married to Andrew when photos emerged of her lounging with financial advisor John Bryan.

She was finally invited back to Balmoral in 2013 but made to leave the castle the day before Philip arrived for his holiday with the Queen every year since.
