Royal Family News – Sarah Ferguson Defends Prince Andrew
Sarah herself is no stranger to controversy. While still married to Andrew a lurid photo of her and her lover was published (we’ll leave the stomach churning toe-sucking details for another time and place).
Sarah told Italian talk show Porta a Porta that her wedding day to Prince Andrew was the best day of her life, despite the two having two children and two grandchildren together—they now know where they stand in the pecking order.
A quarter century after the divorce the pair still live under the same roof as friends. Meanwhile the scandal over Prince Andrew’s friendship with Epstein and Maxwell and his being a defendant in a sex trafficking case tied to the two threatens to darken their doorstep.

Or maybe not. Sarah seems happy to defend Andrew even as he is accused of having sex with a minor, Virginia Giuffre, who brought a civil case against him in NYC. Sarah said, “I completely stand by Andrew 100 per cent. He is such a kind, great man, he is a brilliant father and now a fantastic grandfather….”
“I feel very strongly that in this day and age that we must stand by our hearts, what we think is right with integrity and honor and loyalty.’
Host Bruno Vespa asked some difficult questions of Sarah about her steadfast defense of the man who earned the nickname “Randy Andy” in his youth.

Perhaps going TMI, Sarah told the host that the best day of her life was, “3rd July 1986, when I married the best man in the world. I was the luckiest girl in the world. It was truly a fairy-tale because I was marrying a prince … a Prince and he was very good looking, a handsome prince from all the fairy-tales he even had the sword.”
