Princess Diana, Sarah Ferguson Reportedly Plotted To Leave Royal Life

Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson both reportedly wanted to leave the royal life behind at one point.

The Princess of Wales and Duchess of York were very close. They even apparently agreed and plotted to leave their royal lives and even used a code for their escape plot.

"Tregunter Road was our code for escape,' she once told me, 'it meant our leap for freedom," Richard Kay revealed (via Express). "By then, however, her love for Hoare had subsided, but her wish for a life outside the Royal Family had not."

"It has always been said that Diana lost her nerve for that double break-out with Fergie from behind palace walls," he continued. "And that when Fergie’s split from Prince Andrew was announced, the princess - whose marital unhappiness was the greater of the two women - quietly changed her mind."

Princess Diana and Ferguson were very close. In fact, it was Princess Diana who introduced Ferguson to Prince Andrew. Ferguson treated the princess like and sister and they were seen together multiple times. However, they stopped talking prior to Princess Diana’s accident.

Princess Diana's former bodyguard Ken Wharfe also revealed that the People's Princess had always wanted a normal life. However, it was impossible after marrying a future king.

"Well it isn't normal to have X number of shifts, it isn't normal to have access to more than one palace to have these luxury holidays, specialised travel and a helicopter land in your backyard," Wharfe explained. "Being in the royal family is a piece of theatre, this is unreal - you are performing."

However, Princess Diana's friend said a different thing. According to Jenni Rivett, Prince William and Prince Harry's mom didn't want to leave their dad. She wanted to make things work if she had her ways.

"She wasn’t the one who wanted to separate or have a divorce, it was sprung upon her," Princess Diana's trainer Jenni Rivett told Yahoo UK. "At the end of the day it was [Charles and Diana’s] call, but I can tell you right now it wasn’t what she wanted."

"She wanted to be the Princess of Wales, she wanted to be the Queen of people’s hearts, she wanted to be a good mother, which she was, and a good wife," she added.
