Sarah Ferguson spoke about the comparison between her and Meghan Markle.

In an exclusive interview with Vogue, the Duchess of York opened up about Markle, Princess Diana and Jeffrey Esptein. In her statement, Ferguson admitted that she could relate to Prince Harry’s wife.

The Duchess of Sussex has been subjected to media scrutiny since she joined the royal family. Whatever Markle does makes headlines and she is either praised or criticized.

Alexandria Gouveia said that it was difficult not to see parallels between the two duchesses’ experiences after they joined the royal family. Ferguson confessed that she could relate to Markle because she experienced the same.

“It must be hard for Meghan, and I can relate to her. I believe she is modern and fabulous,” Ferguson said of the Duchess of Sussex.

She added that Markle is great and asked why she can’t be celebrated. She also explained that when asked for some advice for the duchess, she usually declines because she doesn’t want it to be taken out of context since she has been in Markle’s shoes and is still in the same position.

“There’s always a twist of negativity and it just gets so sad and tiring; it’s hard and mean. I abhor bullying and I feel desperately sorry for the pain they must be going through because I’ve been through it,” Princess Eugenie’s mom added.

In related news, there are rumors that Prince Harry and Markle are already expecting their second child. However, a source told Us Weekly that the duchess is not yet pregnant, but she will not wait for two years to have another child because she reportedly wants to conceive next year.

Initially, Markle was advised to wait for two years before getting pregnant again because the risk of maternal mortality increases for women over 35 years old when they conceive six months after their previous birth. If Markle couldn’t wait that long, experts suggest that the duchess should wait for at least 12 months.
