Royal Family News: Sarah Ferguson Claims She And Princess Diana Were Besties!

British royal family news shows that Sarah Ferguson is being called out for altering history just a smidge. She graces the current cover of People magazine and inside is a far ranging interview with the author whose new book drops in August. What is it she said that has some royal watchers calling her Pinocchio?

In the interview Prince Andrew’s former wife denied that she and Princess Diana ever had a falling out. In fact she described her as a dear friend who relied on her for direction on being a royal. That is contrary to what has been reported however. The two were reportedly estranged at the time of Diana’s death in 1997 after a fatal car crash in Paris.

And Sarah acknowledged as much previously, admitting that they were not speaking when Diana died.

“We promised each other we would always be together — there was never any daylight between us,” Ferguson told People. “But everybody wanted (to see a feud) because we were so strong together. People want to break something so strong.”

Despite her present day enthusiasm, in a 2007 Harper’s Bazaar interview the vibrant red head admitted, “that Diana had refused to speak to her for at least a year,” according to Page Six.

In 2007 she said, “The saddest thing, at the end, (was that) we hadn’t spoken for a year, though I never knew the reason … I tried, wrote letters, thinking whatever happened didn’t matter, let’s sort it out. And I knew she’d come back. In fact, the day before she died she rang a friend of mine and said, ‘Where’s that Red? I want to talk to her.’”

Ferguson’s 1996 memoir “My Story” included a story that Diana had gifted her some old shoes, “and less happily, her plantar warts.” Ouch.

Royal Family News – Is Sarah Ferguson Telling The Truth?

It was subsequently reported that Diana iced out Sarah who was allegedly hurt by the ghosting. Once upon a time Diana encouraged Andrew’s relationship with Sarah by inviting the couple to stay at her marital Highgrove so everyone could get to know each other before going public with their relationship.

Even after they left the Royal Family, they vacationed together with their children. But somewhere it seems something went sour. Ferguson was not invited to Prince William’s wedding in 2011. About that she said, “I wanted to be there with my girls … to be getting them dressed and to go as a family. It was so hard, because the last bride up that aisle [at Westminster Abby] was me.”

Years later Ferguson attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials, which she told “Good Morning Britain” made her feel “grateful” and “honored.”
