Sarah Ferguson, known as Fergie, has confirmed that she will not be attending the historic ceremony on Saturday (6 May). The Duchess of York, 63, has previously revealed how she was not invited to the Coronation - and was not offended by that.
She went on to explain that she did not get an invite to the ceremony because she and Prince Andrew - the second son of Queen Elizabeth II - are divorced. Speaking on an episode of Good Morning Britain, she said: “It’s a state occasion and being divorced, I don’t think you can have it both ways. She added: “You can’t have it both ways.
You mustn’t sit on the fence. You’re either in or out, but don’t muck around.” Fergie was married to the disgraced Duke of York for 10 years before their divorce in 1996 and they had two daughters together - Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. She and Andrew, also now 63, had split in 1992 after Fergie became embroiled in the infamous toe-sucking scandal.
But despite their divorce, the pair have remained close over the years - still living together at Royal Lodge, Windsor. And as for Fergie’s plans for Coronation Day, she exclusively told OK! she will be watching it on television alongside the late Queen's corgis, who live with her and Andrew. She said: "I will definitely be watching it on television and will be championing it from there.
