Do Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew still live together and who are their daughters?

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson still share a home.

The pair remain close with daughters Beatrice, 29, and Eugenie, 27, who regularly dine with them at their home, Royal Lodge at Windsor.

The pair also share a £13m ski lodge in the posh Swiss resort of Verbier.

Beatrice is currently based in New York and has previously been criticised for taking 18 holidays in 15 months.

She was previously involved with high-flying US exec Dave Clark, 32 - who called time on their 10-year relationship after she demanded he marry her last summer.

Before their split many feared the Succession of the Crown Act had held the couple back from tying the knot.

The Act obliges the first six in line to the throne to ask the Queen's permission before they wed.

But the Duke of York's eldest daughter was pushed back to seventh in line after last year's birth of Princess Charlotte - and issued her fatal ultimatum.

Bea's sister, Eugenie, was earlier this year branded "lazy" - after taking 25 days off during first 10 weeks in a new job.

Eugenie denied that she was lazy and insisted that "she works really hard".

Eugenie, who has a degree in English and history of art from Newcastle University, said: “Whether you curtsy for someone or you don’t, you still work really hard and make an effort to get where you want to be.

“The reason I am in the art world is down to me, not because I have a title.

“I think I am regarded in my job for doing my exams and learning the way I did.”

Princess Eugenie has been dating socialite Jack Brooksbank for six years, and there are rumours they plan to get married after she was spotted with a ring on her left hand.

The eighth in line to the throne, Eugenie began dating Jack six years ago after they met while skiing in the Swiss resort of Verbier and are reported to be "very serious" about their relationship.

Prince Andrew has apparently asked the Queen and her heir Prince Charles to give the future husbands of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie an earldom each.

According to royal customs, only grandchildren born to monarch's sons will be royals.

The family's inner politics recently made headlines after the Duke of York asked the Queen to have his daughters funded by the taxpayers.

This means the future husbands of Princess Eugenie and Beatrice - daughters of Prince Andrew - would need to have their own titles to pass on to their children.

The Duke of York has been pushing for his daughters to become full-time royals - but had his request denied by the Queen.

Eugenie currently works for a London art gallery while Beatrice has been jobless since July.

When did Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew get married and when did they divorce?

Andrew, 57, and Fergie, 58, were married on July 23 1986 and divorced ten years later in 1996.

The pair had announced plans for an "amicable split" in 1992 before, some months later, pictures surfaced of the Duchess being intimate John Bryan, her financial advisor at the time.

Post-divorce, Fergie was criticised for certain areas of her lifestyle but has since rebuilt her public image and slipped back into the House of Windsor, sparking rumours she and the Duke may remarry.

The couple have spoken previously about how they "never really left each other" and, in an interview on Australian radio last year, Fergie was asked she would ever remarry Prince Andrew.

She replied: “I always think ‘have we really?’.

“We’re divorced to each other right now.

“We’ve never really left each other.”

What is the latest news in the Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's household?

Sarah Ferguson has fired her royal dog walker, Amanda Severn 52, after finding out she had an affair with Prince Andrew's butler, Terence Holdforth 58.

Terence was found out by his head of housekeeping wife, Mandy 56 who also works at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
