Royal news: Sarah Ferguson jokes about Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle

The fun-loving former royal gets the crowd laughing
  • 27 Jun 2019

There was a time when Sarah, Duchess of York was one of the most famous and talked-about women in the world, seen everywhere with her husband Prince Andrew, and accompanying then close friend Princess Diana, when she was married to Prince Charles.

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW 

Flash forward three decades and she’s still a prominent figure, but a lot of the attention has shifted to Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.

So what does Fergie think of being replaced on the royal family A-list in the decades since, most dramatically since Kate married Prince William and Meghan married Prince Harry? She gave a good humoured indication when she accepted the Inspiration of the Year award for her services to charity at Hello! magazine’s Star Women awards.

Promising to help the 2018 star mums winner Lisa Wells with an upcoming fundraiser, Sarah quipped, ‘Maybe you’d prefer one of the other duchesses?’

The jokes was well received by the audience, who responded with laughter. While Sarah may be far from being the Queen, she's still at the top of the tree when it comes to a right royal quip! 

Sarah’s profile has grown recently, as her daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice become more prominent in London society - especially since Eugenie's wedding - and within the British royal family. There's also ongoing talk that she and ex-husband Prince Andrew are set to remarry.

After the couple were seen at Royal Ascot enjoying each other's company last week, royal insiders confirmed Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are back together.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, body language expert Judi James said the famous exes appear to be much more than just friends after their Ascot appearance among members of the royal family, including Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Zara Philips last week. Will Fergie wed the Duke of York again? Is an engagement ring far off?

If the body language is any indication, something is definitely brewing. 

'From the yellow rose in his lapel matching the colour of her dress to the rather relaxed body language displays together that still look heavily suppressed as though avoiding any obvious give-always, Prince Andrew and Sarah look far more like currents than exes here,' Judi said. 

'They seem to avoid actual eye contact here but proximity doesn't seem to be a problem and Sarah's raised chin, warm smile and splayed feet as she poses beside Andrew suggests confidence rather than awkwardness,' she added.

Let's hope there is another royal wedding not far off!
