Sarah Ferguson gave a rare insight into a playful relationship with King Charles despite Prince Andrew’s ongoing controversies.
The Duchess of York revealed that the monarch still calls her by her nickname ‘Fergie’ amid the Duke of York’s alleged involvement in the Chinese spy scandal.
Not only that, but the ‘disgraced’ Duke has also been feuding with his cancer-stricken brother Charles over the Royal Lodge.
In the middle of the chaos, Sarah told The Sunday Times, “I’ve known the King all my life and I absolutely adore him. He’s kind and makes me laugh, and I love that he still calls me Fergie.”
While recalling fun-filled times, the mother-of-two added, “At Dummer, Mum would say, ‘Don’t be naughty with the Prince of Wales when he comes to stay, don’t duck him in the pool.'”
“I’d duck him straight in the pool and put a fake dog turd outside his room. He thought it was hilarious,” Sarah shared.
It is important to note that during the same interview, the Duchess openly supported Andrew, stating, “I won’t let him down. He supports me as much as I support him.”
The couple, who parted ways in 1996, Sarah revealed that her former spouse “supported” her through “thick and thin, not just marriage or divorce.” She continued, “We agree on the three Cs — communication, compromise, compassion.”
