Still, none of it could have happened without Andrew’s help.

Diana was insistent on setting up her friend Sarah Ferguson with her brother-in-law.

In an interview withPeople, Ferguson explained that it was Diana who originally got her and Andrew together.

Consequently, it’s no surprise that Princess Diana and Prince Andrew’s friendship sparked romance rumors.

Andrews was far from the only person who thought this.

Still, she insists, “Diana wasn’t interested in Andrew.

It was Charles she was interested in.”

Nowadays, there’s really no one who can prove or disprove the rumors other than Andrew.

According to Fergie, though, it’s “rubbish.”

Fergie replied, “What a load of rubbish.

Amidst his very public divorce with Diana, Charles' popularity took quite a hit.

At the same time, Andrew was made regent.

In his biography, “Windsor Spares: The Prince Harry and Prince Andrew Soap Opera!”

author Nigel Cawthorne wrote,“History was studded with regents who went on to become king.

Even Britain had one in George IV, formerly the thoroughly disreputable Prince Regent.”

Still, there’s never been any confirmation that this was even on Diana’s radar.

Still, one thing seems certain of all the royal siblings, Diana was closest to Andrew.

They had played together as children on the Sandringham Estate,” he said.

While she was there for him in this difficult time, he did the same for her.

Her divorce from then-Prince Charles was complicated and painful for Diana in many ways.
