Sarah Ferguson Speaks Out About Queen Elizabeth II’s Death: ‘I Am Heartbroken’
09.09.2022 - 06:01 / usmagazine.com
Still family. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, paid tribute to her former mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II, after her death at age 96 on Thursday, September 8.
“I am heartbroken by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen,” Ferguson, 62, wrote via Twitter on Thursday. “She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy: the most fantastic example of duty and service and steadfastness, and a constant steadying presence as our head of state for more than 60 years.”
Fergie, who called the queen “the most incredible mother-in-low and friend,” noted that the sovereign had given “her whole life selflessly to the people of the U.K. and Commonwealth” over the years.
“I will always be grateful to her for the generosity she showed me in remaining close to me even after my divorce,” she shared. “I will miss her more than words can express.”
The Young Victoria star tied the knot with the monarch’s son Prince Andrew, Duke of York, in July 1986 at Westminster Abbey. After six years of marriage, the two announced their separation and divorced four years later. The pair, who remain on friendly terms, share daughters Princess Beatrice, 34, and Princess Eugenie, 32.
While Ferguson notoriously had a rocky relationship with Elizabeth’s late husband Prince Phillip, she has been vocal about her love for the queen over the years.
In 2021, the Weight Watchers spokeswoman appeared on an episode of the “Tea with Twiggy” podcast and referred to Elizabeth as her “greatest mentor” and the “person who believes” in her most, revealing that the royal matriarch was “more of a mother to me than my own mother.”
She added, “I absolutely admire the incredible way Her Majesty is so modern … and how flexible, and how understanding, and how forgiving and how generous.”
