Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, recently expressed unwavering fondness for her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, stating she would "absolutely" remarry him. Despite divorcing in 1996, the pair remain close, residing together at Royal Lodge in Windsor. Ferguson emphasized Andrew's supportive nature throughout their relationship, extending beyond their marriage and divorce. She highlighted their shared values of communication, compromise, and compassion.
The Duchess recounted the joy of their 1986 wedding, describing it as the "best day of her life," while acknowledging the loss of anonymity that came with royal life. She admitted to struggling with public scrutiny and comparing herself to Princess Diana, leading to challenges with her weight and potential postnatal depression. Ferguson also shared the late Queen Elizabeth's enduring support and invaluable advice to remember her own self-worth.
This public display of affection comes amidst Prince Andrew's continued controversies. His association with Jeffrey Epstein and subsequent allegations led to the removal of his military affiliations and royal patronages. Recent reports indicate his absence from royal Christmas gatherings at Sandringham following new allegations regarding contact with a Chinese businessman described as a "spy." While Andrew's office confirmed the cessation of contact with the businessman, they denied discussions of a "sensitive nature." The businessman himself has refuted the "spy" label.
