Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, spoke out this week to recall not being invited to Prince William’s 2011 wedding to Kate Middleton.

Entertainment Tonight reported that Sarah, 61, was not invited to the wedding after she was caught on camera promising a reporter access to Andrew in exchange for £500,000 (about $690,000).

“I didn’t think I was probably worthy to go to their wedding,” Ferguson told Town & Country. “I took myself to Thailand, actually, to be far away from it so that I could try and heal.”

Sarah would go on to attend Prince Harry’s 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle.

“It was very kind of them, and I can’t thank them enough for doing that because it was nerve-wracking,” she said, going on to say that being cheered by spectators when she entered the wedding was “quite extraordinary.”

Sarah also declined to comment on William and Harry’s feud, only saying when asked about it, “I believe that [Princess] Diana would be so proud of her boys… and she’d be so proud of her grandchildren.”

While Sarah and Diana were friends, she feels they received very different press coverage.

“It was always that Diana was portrayed as the saint and I was portrayed as the sinner,” Sarah said. “Bad Fergie sold an awful lot of papers.”

These days, however, Sarah is at peace with where she is in life.

“It’s a very good moment, because I’m free,” she said. “She’s still with me, that person who thinks she’s fat, ugly, and disgusting, and she still has to have her hair done to talk to you, but she’s now not so vocal. The truth is, I am 61 years old and I’m free of the self-­sabotaging Sarah.”

Sarah and Andrew were married from 1986 to 1996, and they are the parents of two daughters, Princess Beatrice, 32, and Princess Eugenie, 31. Sarah has stood by Andrew post-divorce, even in the face of his scandal over being tied to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“Whatever challenges he has, I will stand firm to the co-parenters that we are together,” Ferguson told People Magazine of her relationship with Andrew. “I believe that he’s a kind, good man, and he’s been a fabulous father to the girls.”
