Sarah Ferguson Explains Facial Expression At Daughter’s Wedding: ‘It’s Who I Am’

Sarah Ferguson recently explained the facial expression she made while at Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding.

On Oct. 12, Ferguson sat in the front row of St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle and within seconds let out a sigh of relief. Royal fans caught the moment on television and wondered why the Duchess of York looked relieved even before the wedding ceremony commenced.

While speaking with Daily Mail, the 59-year-old mom of two said, “I’d just sat down in the chapel and everyone saw me go ‘Phew’ because I’d managed not to slip over in my high heels; then I looked across and saw my sister and I watched her face and there were tears – and I’m doing that again, I’m welling up now. It’s who I am. It gets me into endless trouble.”

Ferguson also said that she has been very true to herself ever since she joined the royal family. But this is not something that everyone can understand or appreciate.

“People think you’re impossible or difficult if they can’t relate to you if you don’t take life seriously. But the key to me is that I look at life with a child’s sense of excitement and joy,” she said.

In related news, Ferguson also talked about her relationship with Prince Andrew and confirmed that they have a wonderful bond even though they have been divorced for years.

“July 23, 1986, was the happiest day of my life. Andrew is the best man I know. What he does for Britain is incredible; no one knows how hard he works for his country. Although we are not a couple, we really believe in each other. The Yorks are a united family. We’ve shown it. You saw it at the wedding. We stand up for each other, we fight for each other. We’re totally respectful of each other’s positions and thoughts and we listen to each other. Our children listen to us, too,” she said.
