Amid growing speculation about Sarah Ferguson's public absence, Priscilla Presley, an iconic Hollywood figure, has denied claims that the Duchess of York is staying at her Los Angeles property.

A representative for Presley, 80, called the rumors 'totally false' in a statement to People magazine. The rumors gained traction due to renewed attention on figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein, with speculation that Ferguson was seeking refuge in a close circle of friends.

The situation comes after Ferguson and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, were evicted from Royal Lodge in Windsor following King Charles' decision to strip Andrew of his royal titles. Ferguson's lack of public appearances has further fueled speculation about her whereabouts, with reports placing her in Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, and Portugal, as well as with family members.

Priscilla and Ferguson have known each other for years, due to the close friendship between Lisa Marie Presley and Ferguson. The late singer shared an intimate bond with Ferguson, who described her as a sister.

Following Lisa Marie's death in 2023, Ferguson paid tribute at a memorial held at Graceland, reflecting on grief and loss in a speech that referenced Queen Elizabeth II. Sources suggest that Priscilla has been grateful for Ferguson's support during that time, although she has now made it clear that her home is not being used as a refuge.

The speculation arises amid wider scrutiny surrounding individuals connected to Epstein, with some reports claiming that Ferguson has found herself increasingly isolated as a result.

Ferguson has been the subject of controversy due to her alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein, leading to the loss of her 'Freedom of the City of York' title. The decision was made during a meeting of the York City Council, where members of the public urged councilors to take action.

The title, awarded to the then Duchess and Duke of York on their wedding day in 1987, was unanimously revoked following new revelations about Ferguson's personal emails to Epstein. These emails revealed that Ferguson requested financial support from Epstein while the pedophile was under house arrest.

Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have been linked to Epstein, and it was revealed that Ferguson spent several weeks at a wellness clinic in Switzerland, costing £13,000 per day, as details emerged about her relationship with Epstein. She also wrote to the financier thanking him for being a 'supreme friend', and took her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to lunch with him less than a week after he left jail.

In another embarrassing email, the former duchess appeared to ask Epstein to 'just marry' her. Many of her exchanges took place after Epstein was arrested for soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008.

To date, there has been no official confirmation about her current living arrangements. The situation continues to generate public interest and speculation about Ferguson's future.

Ferguson's story has been marked by controversy and media attention. Her relationship with Epstein and the loss of her title are evidence of the challenges she faces.
