Sarah Ferguson’s Title: What Happens If Prince Andrew Remarries?

Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, the Queen's second oldest son, were married in 1986 and divorced legally ten years later in 1996.

Despite their separation, the pair still seemed to be on good terms and were recently spotted at Ascot together with their daughter Beatrice, 29.

When Sarah and Andrew married, they were made the Duke and Duchess of York by the Queen.

However, when they divorced, a letters patent was issued removing Sarah's HRH title, leaving her with the styling of Sarah, Duchess of York.

The question now arises: what happens to Sarah's title if Prince Andrew remarries?

Would she lose the Duchess of York styling and return to her maiden name?

As of yet, it is not known exactly what would happen in this scenario as it has yet to play out in the British Royal Family.

However, there is a possibility that if Prince Andrew remarries, his new wife would become HRH the Duchess of York, Princess Andrew, while Sarah would keep her title Sarah, Duchess of York, as it is the title decreed for former wives of peers by the most current letters patent.

This would effectively mean there would be two duchesses, which could be a confusing turn of events.

It is not uncommon for Dukes to remarry, and in the case of Guy Innes Kerr, 10th Duke of Roxburgh, and his first wife Lady Jane Mariel Grosvenor, she was addressed as Lady after their divorce.

The question remains: would Fergie choose to go as Lady Sarah if Prince Andrew remarries?

Another interesting point to note is that Kate Middleton will get Princess Diana's title if Prince Charles becomes King.

When Charles becomes King, it is believed that the title of Prince of Wales will fall to Prince William, who currently holds the Duke of Cambridge title.
