Last month, Prince Harry announced that he is writing a tell-all memoir that will be released next year. Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Harry’s uncle Prince Andrew, has now spoken out to give her thoughts on this.
“I think the fact that Meghan’s written a children’s book is really good, well done her, because anyone that sits there writing a book, it’s really hard,” Sarah said, according to Entertainment Tonight. “‘Cause you have to keep it all very condensed, if it’s children’s. With Harry, I think he’s got a lot to say and, really, I think Diana would be really proud of her sons, and their wives and the [grandkids].”
“And he’s such a good boy, you know, I think in life there’s no question that there’s far too judgment and there should be more compassion and support in every way on everybody,” she added. “My mission statement of my charity is no race, creed, color or any other denomination — we stand together and we fight for the right for a child to dare to dream.”
Sarah has fond memories of Harry’s mother Princess Diana, including her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles.
“Diana gave me the material to wear in turquoise, and it was really beautiful,” she recalled. “She loved me wearing turquoise. … She was my best friend, since she was 14 and I was 16. … I couldn’t have a better seat. And I was very proud that she gave me the material to wear to the wedding.”
Sarah would marry Andrew in 1986, and though they divorced ten years later, they remain good friends.
“We are very happily divorced to each other,” she explained. “It seems to work. I suppose he understands that I have a lot to do in the world. I’m a philanthropreneur. You bet you’ve never heard that word before. A philanthropreneur from the heart. And my children have donated me to the world’s children and now they’ve donated grandma to the world’s children too. It’s just where I’m happiest to be, to fly free, to build my skills.”
“I just fly free,” she added. “I’m very lucky to get on very well, but we do practice the 3 C’s, which is communicate, compromise, and compassion.”
Though her marriage to Andrew didn’t work out, Sarah still believes in love.
“I’m such a romantic. …I deeply believe in the romance of life,” she said. “…I’m a romantic at heart. I have lived every girl’s dream of marrying a prince.”
