Sarah Ferguson hits back after Kochie's cheeky swipe

The duchess had the last laugh. - by Catie Powers
  • 04 Aug 2021

Sarah Ferguson appeared on Channel Seven's Sunrise on Wednesday morning to speak about her new novel, and she had quite the cheeky exchange with David "Kochie" Koch in the process.

Currently on the press circuit for her new Mills & Boon novel Her Heart For A Compass, Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson has taken the promo across the pond, albeit virtually, video chatting with Sunrise's Kochie and Natalie Barr.

After Fergie explained that the story revolves around a fictionalised version of Lady Margaret, Kochie jumped in to ask the duchess a rather cheeky question.

Kochie and Fergie had quite the cheeky exchange on Sunrise.

"My wife tells me (Mills & Boon) are a bit raunchy at times. What about this one; is there a bit of raunchiness?" Kochie asked the ex-wife of Prince Andrew.

The Duchess of York provided an equally cheeky response, saying, "Well, you know, the great thing Kochie is that you might, for the first time ever, have to pick up this book and read it. Your wife reads Mills & Boon but now you're going to read it".

As Kochie laughed at the playful dig, Fergie went on to clarify that it's "up to the reader to want to know whether it's raunchy or not", explaining that it's a very "authentic" romantic, historical novel.

During the interview, Nat jumped in to congratulate Sarah on her latest grandson, August, and the royal was quick to gush over the little one.

The author of 38 children's books told the morning show she was happy to have a "new customer", while also singing the praises of her two girls, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, for the way they continue to navigate public life.

And Sarah will be welcoming yet another grandchild to the mix soon enough, with her eldest daughter Beatrice expecting a baby later this year.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in autumn of this year," an official royal statement read in May.

"The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news."

Looks like Fergie will have to pen a new children's book for the little one!
