Sarah Ferguson Talks About Her Daughters and Her Love For Prince Andrew
Sarah Ferguson opens up in Parade
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, talked to Parade.com about her new book and OWN series Finding Sarah.
She also revealed her dreams for her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and why, despite her love for her ex-husband, she doesn’t think they can ever be together.
Why she’s grateful for the scandal:
“I think it saved me, because now I feel. Before, I was just on auto-drive, running at huge speed in order to make sure everybody else was looked after. I didn’t even stop for a minute, and now I feel as if I’ve got my life back. When I look into the mirror now, I give myself a pat on the back and say, ‘Well done, Sarah. A year ago you couldn’t even look in the mirror, you couldn’t even exist.’ I’ve come a long way.”
On her most important role – motherhood:
“My daughters have already done more than I could ever dream of. They are such strong, kind, respectful, honorable, really dignified, decent human beings. I think the one job I’ve done very well is being a good mom. Both Andrew and I have brought up our children, and we are good co-parents.”
On why she and Prince Andrew aren’t back together:
“I don’t think it’s a possibility. I married into the royal family and then divorced. I don’t think I’d be welcomed back in. I think Andrew and I love each other in our way, and we will always love each other.”
On all she gave up in getting her prince:
“You don’t think about it because you’re so in love, but for the rest of your life you will always be scrutinized. You will live your life under a microscope. But it’s worth it for him.”
On Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge:
“I would never presume to give Catherine any advice. I think she’s doing an excellent job in her own right. She doesn’t need advice from me. If it’s about mothering, then, yes, I can give advice, but I wouldn’t dream to give any advice on anything else.”
