Sarah Ferguson Praises Queen Elizabeth II For This Touching Reason

Sarah Ferguson recently gushed over Queen Elizabeth II following her daughter Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding.

While speaking with Hello! the Duchess of York thanked Her Majesty for the support she gave to Princess Eugenie before and during her and Jack Brooksbank’s nuptials.

“I cannot be more grateful to Eugenie’s grandmother for making this day so memorable. I am so grateful for all the hard work and kindness behind the scenes to make such a special day for our daughter,” she said.

Ferguson’s recent comment about the monarch proved that she and the Queen are indeed in good terms with each other. Earlier this month, Carly Read, a journalist for Express, revealed that the Queen and Ferguson have been in good terms since 2013.

At that time, the 92-year-old grandmother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie invited Ferguson to her Balmoral residence. Ferguson was married to the Queen and Prince Philip’s son, Prince Andrew, but they divorced in 1996. Years later, it was reported that the ex-couple stayed friends with each other and are still living at the Royal Lodge together.

During a previous interview, Ferguson opened up about her relationship with her ex-husband.

“A table cannot stand on three legs, really, so you have the Duke and me, and the two girls. We’re a family unit and we lead by example,” she said (via Express).

In related news, Ferguson also revealed how proud she is of Princess Eugenie for showing her spine surgery scar on her wedding day. The 28-year-old princess’ wedding dress was designed by Peter Pilotto.

“I was so proud of Eugenie standing tall and showing her scar. She is an inspiration to young women everywhere,” Ferguson said.

Princess Eugenie underwent a corrective spine surgery in 2002. She wed Brooksbank at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on Oct. 12. Their wedding was attended by the members of the royal family, Brooksbank’s family, the couple’s friends, and their colleagues.
