Sarah Ferguson has had a tumultuous relationship with the royal family, to say the least.
“And she saw it.
She just got so annoyed when I wasn’t being myself,” the Duchess of York admitted.

“And that’s probably when I got into all the pickles.
But now I am myself, and I’m just so lucky to be able to be myself.”
Strangely enough, Fergie has admitted that Queen Elizabeth’s death has given her a newfound sense of freedom.

She added, “I’m really, truly authentic Sarah now.”
[She’s] never faltered.
I absolutely think there is no greater mentor."

She knew how to make people feel good.
She never took it onboard as about her.
It’s about the monarchy, about making someone feel good.
She was my total idol."
And it’s this faithful consistency that Ferguson admired so much in the late Queen.
