Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duke and Duchess of York, go way back.
Even before theymarried in 1986, Fergie and Andrew first met in childhood.
While the couple separated in 1992 and officially divorced in 1996, their lives remain intertwined.
“We always say we are the most contented divorced couple in the world.
We’re divorced to each other, not from each other,” Fergie toldThe Telegraphin 2021.
Since 2006, Fergie has shared a home with Andrew at Royal Lodge.
Even so, they each have their own separate spaces in the vast 30-room home.
However, Fergie has once again proclaimed her willingness to support her former husband, this time financially.
Over time she has worked as an entrepreneur, Weight Watchers Ambassador, and author.
Her books include memoirs, children’s books, andhistorical romance novels.
Now she’s expressed her willingness to continue working to help her former husband.
And I’m really pleased and proud to do that."
Fergie also has empathy for Andrew’s situation.
She’s been through some financial hard times herself, and Andrew has come to her rescue.
In 2010, the duchess was facing bankruptcy after she accrued millions of pounds worth of debt.
In turn, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been devoted to the queen.
“I’ve always admired and adored her.
Really, she was more of a mother to me than my mother,” Fergie toldThe Telegraph.
She admired her former mother-in-law’s “ability to listen and never judge.”
“She knew I will always be there.
Because I love her.”
Fergie places a lot of emphasis on her own role as a mother.
And I say, ‘I’m a global mother.'"
The experience left her struggling with feelings of abandonment.
However, even before Fergie’s children were born, she and Elizabeth bonded quickly.
