I'm not convinced of it either, but I do think it's unlikely. As Dag
has already remarked, Sarah is following precedent, and the precedent
relies on her being (a) divorced from a Duke but (b) not remarried.

Didn't the late King issue Letters Patent to say that the Duchess
of Windsor would only be entitled to the style Your Grace, and thus
not Royal Highness?

Not exactly, but in any case that was a unique situation and would
not provide a precedent. See Yvonne's HRH page (URL below).
