The Duchess of York has said her ex-husband the Duke of York is a “good and kind man”.
Sarah, 62, was speaking to Times Radio after Andrew’s recent out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre over sexual assault claims. Speaking to Mariella Frostrup on Tuesday, the duchess was asked if she would still marry the prince if she could go back in time.
She replied: “Oh, yes. He’s a very good and kind man. He’s a good man.”
Referring their wedding day, she added: “And it was an exceptional day, July 23 1986. And it was just extraordinary.
“I think my life is an amazing life. I think I’ve been very lucky. And I am now just beginning my life again. And I think it’s pretty cool to be able to say that.”
She later told the programme: “And, you know, I will stand very firmly by Andrew… a very good and kind man and that’s what I believe.
“We are divorced. I think it’s very important, Mariella, that people realise that I don’t spend long here in England, because I don’t wish to. I’d much prefer being out.
“I’ve built 156 schools in Africa and Poland. And, you know, and I just want to keep going doing my philanthropy work.”
The disgraced duke was on Monday forced to remain out of sight during the Garter Day procession after a “family decision” to limit his appearance to a behind-the-scenes lunch and investiture ceremony.
The Prince of Wales and his son the Duke of Cambridge are understood to have lobbied the Queen about Andrew’s participation in Garter Day, which featured a church service, an investiture for new members of the order and a lunch.

A woman who organised Prince Andrew 's disastrous Newsnight interview in 2019 has claimed he was initially happy with how it went.
Despite shamed Prince Andrew's widely publicised involvement in the Jeffery Epstein sex scandal, there are constant reports that he is desperately trying to reestablish himself within royal life.
One of the reported victims at the center of the long-developing Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal is speaking out in a new book by detailing her alleged experiences with disgraced royal family member Prince Andrew.
As Prince William approaches his 40th birthday on 21 June, the way he plans on “reshaping the monarchy” has been revealed. Prince William has long been a steadfast face in the Royal Family, with him being the eldest son of Prince Charles and therefore second in line for the throne.
Another royal rift is reportedly ongoing, with Prince Andrew allegedly refusing to speak to his brother Charles and nephew William, after the pair blocked his so-called ‘comeback’ plans. Andrew, 62, has taken a backseat from public life since sexual assault allegations against him resurfaced following the death of his former friend, peadophile Jeffrey Epstein, in 2019.The Duke of York has always vehemently denied the accusation brought against him by Virginia Giuffre.
Sarah Ferguson has vowed to stand by Prince Andrew despite the sexual assault claims made earlier in 2022. The Duchess of York, 62, described her former husband, 62, as "very good and kind", before adding that "he really understands the art of communication with me". She made the comments during an interview with LBC's Iain Dale, following Andrew's out of court settlement with Virginia Giuffre in February.
A royal expert is claiming Prince Andrew was "crushed and confused" when he was banned from Garter Day.
asked if she would marry the Duke of York again if she could go back in time during an interview with the UK’s Times Radio, she replied, “Oh, yes. He’s a very good and kind man. He’s a good man.”She even looked back fondly at the pair’s 1986 wedding day, calling it “exceptional and extraordinary.””I think my life is an amazing life,” Ferguson continued.
Prince Andrew has reportedly asked the Queen to reinstate his HRH title due to his status as a 'blood prince' – being one of Her Majesty's four children. Last year, the Duke of York, 62, found himself embroiled in an alleged sex scandal involving Virginia Giuffre, which he ended up settling out of court for £12million, causing the Queen to strip him of his well-respected royal titles.
Prince Harry may need to “return to the royal family” to “take pressure” off the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, a royal expert has claimed. Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor-the Truth and the Turmoil, said the current form of the monarchy is “looking a bit skeletal” as it wasn’t meant to “lose Andrew and Harry”. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020 and moved to California in the US to pursue other projects.
