Royal fans everywhere were heartbroken when Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson divorced back in 1996. That’s why so many people are ecstatic that new reports indicate that they may soon be walking down the aisle together once again!

During their ten year marriage, Andrew and Sarah had two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, before they called it quits. However, new reports have indicated that neither of them wanted to divorce, and they only had to “because of the circumstances.”

These “circumstances” are thought to be compromising photographs of Sarah having an affair with another man. These photos leaked to the press in the early 1990s, and they proved to be too much for the royal family to bear, so the couple was pressured to divorce.

Continuing our countdown to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding (now just 8 days away!), let’s focus on the 1986 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of York (Prince Andrew—Queen Elizabeth’s third born—and Sarah Ferguson, aka “Fergie”). While this wasn’t the royal family’s most successful union ??, it was a lovely wedding nonetheless! Sarah’s gown, designed by British designer Lindka Cierach, featured intricate beadwork and designs with special meaning to the couple. Embroidered anchors were a nod to Prince Andrew’s naval career, and bumblebees and thistles were incorporated from Sarah Ferguson’s family crest. Incidentally, their daughter Princess Eugenie is engaged to be married this October—I can’t wait to see what her wedding dress will look like! #royalwedding #royalweddingcountdown #princeharry #meghanmarkle #harryandmeghan #dukeandduchessofyork #princeandrew #sarahferguson #fergie #duchessofyork #bridalillustrationbyjulie #princesseugenie

As soon as the Queen Mother died in 2002, Andrew and Sarah started living together again. They claimed that they were doing this so that they could parent their daughters better, but they continue to live together to this day, long after Beatrice and Eugenie have left the home.

In the last few years, Sarah has been seen attending more royal events with Andrew, and even Queen Elizabeth has been seen interacting with her.

This year, Sarah was invited to the Queen’s viewing stand at Royal Ascot, and photos from the event indicate that the two have a nice friendship.

With Eugenie set to marry Jack Brooksbank in October, speculation is mounting as to whether her parents will be the next royals to walk down the aisle!

”Princess Eugenie’s wedding will, if you like, be a final test,” a courtier said. “A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the Duke and Duchess of York divorced. Her Majesty did see the Duchess’ point of view and has always had a soft spot for her.”

Who is Jack Brooksbank? – He is the son of an accountant and a company director and was privately school educated as a boy. But he will be joining the ranks of the royal family as a commoner, following in the footsteps of Kate Middleton and most recently, Meghan Markle, before him. He was previously the manager of socialite night club and hot spot, Mahiki, and is now a brand ambassador for Casamigos Tequila which was co-founded by George Clooney. ⠀ Who will the bridesmaids be? ⠀ It has been confirmed Princess Charlotte will be a flower girl at her second cousin Princess Eugenie’s wedding. ⠀ Princess Charlotte, 4, will lead the flower girls on the big day and her brother Prince George will also have a special role as the page boy. The young royals aren’t the only famous children to follow Beatrice up the aisle as according to the Express, Robbie Williams daughter Theodora Rose, 5, will also be a bridesmaid. ⠀ Robbie and his wife Ayda Field are said to be close friends of both Eugenie and her sister Beatrice. ⠀ Can you watch Prinecss Eugenie’s wedding on TV? ⠀ Unlike Meghan and Harry’s wedding, it’s unlikely that Princess Eugenie’s wedding will be broadcast for the public. ⠀ Former royal butler, Grant Harrold, told the Express: “This wedding probably be a private affair similar to Princess Anne’s second wedding as well as Princess Anne’s children’s weddings”. ⠀ #Photo: Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s official wedding portrait | Picture: PA #Source: heart.co.uk ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #princessbeatrice #princesseugenie #beatriceandeugenie #beatriceofyork #eugenieofyork #duchessofyork #britishmonarchy #britishroyalfamily #england #britishprincess #dukeofyork #princeandrew #sarahferguson #royalwedding2018

Andrew’s father Prince Philip is said to be dead set against him remarrying Sarah as well, but since he is 97 years-old, it’s been speculated that the couple may be waiting for him to pass before moving forward with any wedding plans.
