00:00Sarah Ferguson shrugs off losing York title.

00:03Sarah Ferguson will no longer use the Duchess of York title following Prince Andrew's decision to give up his dukedom.

00:09She will always support her former husband's decisions and do anything for the king.

00:13For her, this will not make a big difference, a source told Hello Magazine of Sarah Ferguson,

00:18who continued using the Duchess of York title after she divorced Prince Andrew.

00:22Prince Andrew announced he will no longer use his royal titles after Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir painted him in an even worse light.

00:30In discussion with the king and my immediate and wider family,

00:33we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of his majesty and the royal family, Andrew said.

00:40I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first.

00:46I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life, Prince Andrew continued.

00:51With his majesty's agreement, we feel I must now go a step further.

00:54I will therefore no longer use my title or the honors which have been conferred upon me.

01:00As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.

01:05Prince Andrew wasn't the only York whose public life suffered due to befriending Jeffrey Epstein,

01:10as several charities cut ties with Sarah Ferguson once it was reported she emailed the felon while he was in prison.

01:15According to reports, Ferguson sent Epstein an apologetic message calling him a supreme friend

01:21after the mom of two claimed she cut ties with the financier.
