Sarah has addressed their unique relationship, stating, “Andrew and I remain steadfast, in the past we’ve been co-parenting and now we’re co-grandparenting,” as reported by the Daily Mail.

The Mail quoted a source close to Andrew, who said, “Theirs is not a great passionate romance — they have separate bedrooms at Royal Lodge — but it’s more about the deepest form of friendship. It’s a very unusual relationship for a divorced couple, especially to the outside world, but they’re utterly devoted and would defend each other to the death.”
