Windsor – At the age of 62, the Duchess of York looks back on the roller coaster of her life so far.

She frankly explains how she survived the times of press scolding and the outlawing of the Windsors and what concerns her today, reveals 24royal.de.
As a teenager, she would have dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion in show jumping, not of becoming a princess, reports the ex-wife of Queen Elizabeth II’s third son (95). Nevertheless, the mother of Princess Beatrice (33) and Princess Eugenie (31) still raves about their wedding day with Prince Andrew (61), which she describes as the “most beautiful day of their lives”. The walk through the “endless avenue to Westminster Abbey” is unforgettable and alive.
The time of the children followed, their infidelity, the scandals, Andrew was in the service of the Royal Navy and was hardly there. The royal family avoided her, Prince Philip (99, † 2021) was reluctant to even see her. After the divorce from Prince Andrew, the press crowd didn’t leave her good hair. “I was the most persecuted woman in the royal family,” she says. The Duchess is proud that her upbringing and love for her girls have never suffered. When she was eleven, her mother ran away with an Argentine polo player, she says of her motivation to do better.
24 years of therapy are behind her, the neglect and the media swamp are history, Sarah Ferguson no longer acts like a savage, but is wild to work. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
