Why Fergie Left The Royal Family Behind | The Fergie Story | Real Royalty

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ย. 2024
- When the marriage between Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson began, she was one of the most popular women to become Duchess of York since the creation of the title in 1385. With her informal style and sense of fun, Sarah Ferguson seemed like a breath of fresh air sweeping through a somewhat outdated institution. But her ill-judged behaviour proved to be her undoing as her royal marriage collapsed under the strain of scandal. "The Fergie Story" provides a unique glimpse into the life of the woman who could have been one of the most influential members of the Royal Family.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

"her most controversial activity was skiing"
?????? I am confusion
absurdlyy 🤣🤣🤣
...not having her toes sucked on the beach
I was thinking the same exact thing 🤔
This is a very old programme. You can tell by how young some of the royal commentators are. That's probably why her most recent controversial activities aren't mentioned.
Because it isn't an English thing. On the Continent every tom and dicky go skiing
All these videos keep blaming "the press", but we're the ones being fed by the Press. The moment we stop buying trashy magazines and reading trashy stories online, that's the moment they find something else that sells.
Hallelujah! (I've been saying that for years!)
So true!
THANK YOU! Im only in this comment section for this comment 🤣.
Very well said.
We also buy the glamorous weddings and love stories. We want to believe in fairy tales. Truth is those fairy tales don't need to be draped in money and privilege. Actually money and privilege comes with crushing duty.
I've always liked Fergie. She always struck me as honest, authentic, and real. She was impulsive, made some big mistakes, but she's been fiercely loyal through the years, a great ex-wife, and a good mother.
Well said.
And now, compared to MM and H, she has been proven to have been a saint. 🤔🤓😇

@@picilocarnal stupid thing to say!
Can a married woman who is having extra marital affair be called honest, genuin and real.
You are from some other planet.
Now it turns out Fergie was more royal material than her prince charming
Neither were royal material!
@@Robretty Correct, but Andrew was even worse. Fergie was desperate made a mistake, recognized it, and apologized... Andrew, doesn't even know what he did wrong
@@moonlitdesert good point. Still, she wasn't involved in this pedophile scheme
usagi18 they were both mates with Epstein
@Fly by night Haven't you considered that they were made for each other? Perhaps that's why they've been hanging and living together for all of these years.
They bullied this poor woman for lacking what they consider "style & grace" when in fact it was her husband Prince Andrew who was guilty of such charges. The British Press makes me SICK 😷🤦🏾♂️
English press is the shitest in the world.
not worse than the US but still very shitty
I feel so bad for the queen. Id love to know what she said to Andrew about this scandal.
Well said, especially from a gentleman. ✨
She is gracious... Look at her smile! Andrew is a pervert and he lied in every interview.....
When they ask him about the island.... He freezes.... They’re really dirty and they married these beautiful women just to cover up their filthy fake lives
@@jamieyoho2310 up in
I met her twice, and she was beautiful in person. The criticism she received for her appearance, in the press, was unfair.
She is quite a natural beauty -- just needs lessons on how to walk, how to dress for her body-shape & life-style -- maybe how to slow-down, take deep breaths and relax a little (especially in public -- those pesky cameras are everywhere)!
@@janetlee9091 she's had plastic surgery since. It didn't go well. Her face looks nothing like herself now.
I know. I met her in Los Angeles when she was signing her book. She was stunning.
I am inteerested to know the expianation of the splitting apart of the keyboard. I am waiting !😊
Q😅@@janetlee9091
I personally don't pay too much attention to England's royal family, but after watching this video I can honestly say I couldn't find a single thing to dislike about this woman: warm, charming, independent, charitable, several different hobbies and personal merits. Seems like her only downfall is the fact that she isn't as stuffy and haughty as the family she married into.
The United Kingdom's Royal Family, not just England. What happened to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, all of which are not in England?
Aja Christian Poor Fergie had to bear the cruel press alone! Prince Andrew should have protected her. My figure was not perfect after having two children in a short time. The only thing I saw in Fergie was her bubbly attitude and the best smile in the family. To this day, Fergie, you are my favourite!❤️🇨🇦
Aja Christian... I agree with you, and I am only 6 minutes in to the vid!
Well that is obvious by the fact you refer to them as England's royal family, rather than Britain's or the United Kingdom's.
@@ds1868 There are other parts of the world where they are the peoples Royal family apart from the UK too! Such as my home, Australia, New Zealand and Canada to name a few. The Commonwealth does extend past the British Isles, you know?
Video: During pregnancy she blew up to alarming proportions.
Me: SHE'S PREGNANT LEAVE HER ALONE!
"Alarming Proportions". You can tell this video was made over 15 years ago..
That's exactly what I thought! She went from size 12 to 16.... C' mon! I've been size 16 and I've never been pregnant.
People who body shame especially women especially pregnant women, don’t deserve oxygen.
@@Letizia2810 lmao little dramatic
Yeah exactly, what would've been the alternative - starve herself and the baby?
This was so fascinating. She did so much good that was never covered. And imagine putting up with Andrew's infidelity.
he put up with hers, rather
@@glen7318 , true .
@@glen7318 You do know his friends nicknamed
him “Randy Andy” and he was/is fond of young girls. Fergie was the Royal Family’s cover for this trait in him.
Charles and Andrew both chose women they thought they could walk over. I’m glad Fergie divorced that petulant child, even though they are friends now. Fergie deserved better than him, but she survived, didn’t she!!!
As well as his interest in children. I wonder if it was apparent then
@@countcrow this comment!!
I wouldn't call Diana and Sarah commoners. They both descend from nobility and royalty. And they both grew up in privileged households.
They are called commoners because they were not born Royal
They were f all
They are more gracious than all the other royal women. Classy, modest, genuine... Modest.. And many other qualities I don’t know but I can guess
You may not call them commoners,but they ARE commoners
Anyone who is not Royal blood is a communal
No matter how common they may act
Can we just take a minute to appreciate what an amazingly talented woman she is. She spoke 3 languages, learnt to fly a helicopter, rode horses brilliantly, skiied like a champion, worked with many charities, took care of two children and a manchild. All this while dealing with bullying by the media and probably members of the royal family. This woman was clearly way too good for them.
Agreed. 🇨🇦
Copied comment. The original is literally 2 comments down from this one 🙄
@@kanyebreast6072 wtf are you talking about? I have better things to do than look for comments and copy paste them. Please do something more productive with your time.
just look at Sarah she is a good person make to look ugly not only by the Press but by the Royals she is much better than any Royals
Totally right.
Fergie was a survivor coming in, stayed that way in her “given” roll, and still is, even after her status was removed. She will always be fine. She is living her life, without any royal permission. Just like she should! Her spirit could not be crushed.
I believe Fergie is now residing in Kensington Palace and she and Andrew remain close.
Plenty of royal permission and money too as she still lives with Andrew
@@katieirtz1460 Neither Sarah nor Andrew live in Kensington Palace. They never have. They both now live in royal lodge on the Windsor Estate.
Her status changed Linda because she got divorced. Her titles and styles were only held by her by virtue of marriage. She remains Sarah, Duchess of York out of courtesy. If she'd ever married anyone else after her divorce she would have lost that too, as she didn't hold the titles in her own right.
@@Jo-pr7bg : "Out of courtesy"?? How stupid is that? She was never a "duchess" and she still isn't. She's just Andrew's null and grasping ex-wife, commoner Sarah Ferguson.
Fall of Princess Sarah? Her ex Husband has fallen a lot more. He's lucky all they did was take away his allowance.
The FBI would love to speak with him...
I'm sure more than one law enforcement agency would love to speak to Randy Andy. In theory they could take away his HRH status. If that happens, he loses his diplomatic immunity. All senior members of the royal family have diplomatic immunity if they are HRH. But once gone he could be extradited to the U.S. to potentially face charges. The queen has the power to strip him of HRH status if she chooses.
Technically she wasn't and never has been "Princess Sarah". Only a Princess of the blood can use the style Princess followed by her given name. Even Princess Diana is incorrect and a colloquism; whilst married she was HRH The Princess of Wales and after divorce was Diana, Princess of Wales.
@@nunyabiznez6381 sorry but an American agency can't take away anyone's HRH status. The British Government could but the Queen would have to agree and a legal document called a Letters Patent would have to be issued. By the Queen. They couldn't just simply take it away.
This didn't age well.
Fergie is one sharp cookie. She was disliked by the royals because she was smart, educated and a real royal. She was brought up as an independent woman. I saw her one time and she acted very well and with much grace. She had a terrific upbeat, personality and a love for chatting up people.
@Valerie O'Brien Actually, I like them both. I really never saw the 'real' side of Fergie, just the one she presented to the group I was attending. Diana, who knows what she was truly like? I just think she was a good person because of the way she gave opportunities to her boys (real life experiences). But, both women did not 'play the royal game', so they each have a reputation given to them by the press.
Valerie O'Brien
Examples of Diana being “immoral??”
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I too would like to know, being that she was a young naive virgin when she married Charles 12 years her senior and quite experienced sexually. She cheating after the way Charles treated her and never gave up his mistress Camilla the entire time they were married. He really wanted Camilla but she wasn't for or suited as the ideal bride at the time. And he truly loves Camilla not Diana. But Diana was born in the right aristocratic family being born lady Diana Spencer and a virgin she was perfect breeder for 32 year old Charles to have his HEIR and SPARE
Yes, and her honesty was a great threat to the royal image!
Some of tge royals think they are above the laws of man. They can hide behide tge castle and gi out the back doir do what ever they want to do and once in a while come out tge front door all royal dressed up climb onto their carriage be royal like to the public
Not every dress that Diana wore hit the mark either- some were downright atrocious! Also comparing Sarah’s dress size to someone who had an acknowledged eating disorder was really unfair! Women gain weight around pregnancy and not everyone sheds it instantly. The scrutiny by the press was unbearable and it’s not surprising she couldn’t hold up.
I always thought she was treated shabbily by the FIRM and the Media
@@karenlewis6711 Do you feel that way about MM?
@@karenlewis6711 It seems people there are glued to tabloid publications like our Enquirer more than real newspapers. Everyone knows that those pages are filled with crazy lies and unfounded rumors but they eat it up like it’s gospel. I don’t think things have changed all that much, unfortunately. You still have the first princess to marry in who can do no wrong-followed by the second one who can do no right. They create fake scenarios of in fighting and extramarital affairs that frankly, none of them have time for!! The only thing I do see, thankfully, is no one dares to chase anyone for a picture. These papers sell because people love drama, period.
Her wedding dress for one. Too big and too frilly, classless. She couldn’t even walk in it.
@@Imissyoulou
Of course they don't and you know why. This woman was four times more scandalous than MM!
I’ve always liked the Duchess of York and even though this documentary seems to be negative, I now have a renewed respect for her, and am impressed with her work with motor neuron disease. It made me cry when I saw the people who need this charity to succeed. I’m very impressed with her.
th-cam.com/video/SIHwvG7BBRch/w-d-xo.htmlttps://th-cam.com/video/SIHwvG7BBRc/w-d-xo.html
This was not negative. If anything, they cast the blame on everyone else except Fergie.
Do you really think this woman is doing anything for charity because she cares - she is trying to worm her way back into a primary spot in the RF.
I'm with YOU.... TOTALLY AGREE
She was too good for the royals. She was a wonderful person. So much respect for Fergie
It’s not the royals that ruined her it was the press. I like fergie, and I like they royals. The press and the people who buy the tabloids are the gross ones
@@MsMegancarter the press was part of her agony but the royal family’s cruelty towards her is what drove Diana to depression. A loveless marriage, no support form her in laws and degradation from friends of the royals..THAT is what ruined her.

It's so sweet when the man with motor neuron disease starts crying. You can see how important her visit was to him - that's the importance the royals can have. Sarah deserves credit for shining a light on a little known disease. Long live the Duchess!

The media should have used those pictures. Motor neuron diseases are awful diseases, and to publicize only “good looking” disease ( as if there is one) is hypocritical. Media likes to says it is there to inform the public. Well do it then.!!’ Life in all its ugliness and maybe enough money would have been raised between then and now that we would have had helpful medicines or a cure!
⁹ⁿ
It wasn't sweet at all. The gentleman was frustrated because he couldn't talk. And the press zoomed on him when he cried. It was a human very human reaction taken out of proportion. Not a fan of Sarah but the way she talked to the patients and that gentleman was flawless.
I am happy he feels grateful but her work is not done in the vein of compassion like Diana's was - that is my opinion and IA will never believe this woman is anything but greedy and self absorbed.
Fergie is one of my favorites. She has been so loyal to her family. Plus, she's genuine, honest and so kind. Great video.
She has been loyal😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“I’m not going to change” Beautiful..... Don’t change, stay sweet and true.... Just like Diana.....
May Diana rest in peace

Expected so much from the marriage?!?!
Asking your husband not to have sex with teenagers is too much?!
@Chardonnay Smith I don't think those were his first victims.usually this stuff starts when you start being sexually active.
Already Fergie was 20 years younger
@@kaspiansea3997 dont be silly
@@kaspiansea3997 I think it's time the world doctors and psychiatrists studied the problem with pedophiles. A terrible disease but curable and preventable. From the prophet's to MJ's and others, it's proved that we are failing the victims. There should be good studies that give panacea to the problem. All hands must be on deck to rescue humanity from the evil practice!
Poor Fergie. I always thought the media was very unfair towards her. The RF didn't need another Diana, they already had one! I adored Diana, but I always found Fergie far more relatable. She is an casual, outdoorsy, uncomplicated gal. I am too. She struggled with weight issues, just as I have my entire life. If Charles had married Camilla, rather than Diana, Fergie would have fit in to the RF smoother than a silk glove. Unfortunately she was forever unfavorably compared to Diana. That had to have been difficult.
Diana was a lot more difficult than Sarah . Fergie had her faults but was a lot more honest
Fergie did not crave attention was not needy and was.very intelligent. People at the time appreciated that about her a relatable person not a cloths horse😊
I really enjoyed hearing about Fergie. What she and Diana had to put up with was clearly portrayed by you with such kindness and insightfulness.. Thank you.
That is utterly ridiculous- criticizing someone for learning to fly and going on skiing holidays what all royals have done. And then this sexist bodyshaming including giving her insulting nicknames- well, that is repulsive.
Fergie and Diana were to much for the Firm old attitude more then 💯 years to critical and stric Two lovely’s ladies good mother NOT at all appreciate NO support from the Monarch & establishment The FIRM needs to turn around 360 degrees to secure 🤴 Prince William and Kate and their children 👶 The Windsor are spoiled but not their wife’s Relations ship???? Queen son’s lost 😞 great ladies in Sarah Diana Lady Spencer
WELL YOU WERNT PAYING FOR HER TO GO ON MANY HOLIDAYS FOR SEX???‽
It wasn’t the vacations that were criticized. It was what she did on her vacations. She wasn’t mature or bright. But maturity finally set in. It was the press that wasn’t loyal
Despite of the negativity that happened to her what is admirable about her is her daughters are brought up well and she enjoys writing a book.
My gosh they’re so scrupulous, Those clips show nothing wrong in her behaviour.
That “royal expert” talks but I hear a man who hates woman and want them being subservient, small, pretty, basically a decorative vase. I can’t believe such woman exist. British royal family must be updated or it will die and the newest add of fresh air just exited it (voluntarily along with probably the best prince produced in the last 100 years). Kate just doesn’t want to be disposed of or exiled and plays the subservient wife and still people find such petty things like dressing to be criticized.
Not when it comes to Andrew they're not scrupulous.
She has a lovey, warm personality.
I once saw a doco on Fergie meeting Romanian orphans. They were besieged with incredible trauma, head lice and mental illness. Fergie sat on the floor with them, embraced them and allowed them to touch at and grab her. Was an incredible display of humbleness and pure warmth. I wish I could be friends with this enigmatic woman!
She would have been a success in the days before the press.
this fergie creature.. like all the royals.. completely fruit-loopey but not as delusional as the people who support them.. my god guys, all of human history is an attempt to free humanity from hereditary privilege... when will the brits ever get it together and chuck out the entire class system? it has caused so much pain and sorrow and yet....wtf?
She's a really nice woman.
She likes to think the best of everyone she meets.
She's not malicious and has brought up 2 lovely daughters who have the same kind heart as their mother.
She was guilty of trying too hard to fit in with the royal family and it backfired.
She has been unfairly lampooned by the media. She was body shamed and ripped to pieces because of her red hair, which, up close is really luscious and beautiful.
I felt sorry for her having her every move, regardless of what she was doing, scrutinized to within an inch of the event.
Excuse me???? Our queen and our tax payers money brought up the girls??????????????
"She's not malicous". Thank god for social media that we can say this today. When she was having a hard time (both she and Diana) it would have helped if we could express our opinion like now. I am becoming increasingly disgusted with the media and a lot of times long for unbiased news.
She is not the only redhead or ginger as you see Harry has red hair. People are far top critical to find something, anything to use to pick people apart. The security should prohibit paparazzi from photographing the royals. They should not have been able to stalk and scrutinize every second of their lives.
Wrong she was always complimented on her red hair so that is a lie, nobody insults a woman's long red locks. not even then, and not when Rita Hayworth had them. It was the silly way she continued to act, it got old. It made no difference to me an American, but the British press picked up on it. She should have known there's a time to act like a lady. She never tried too hard to fit in, she wanted to be her crazy self yet have the cameras on her, in that case she shouldn't have married into that family.
I love Fergie. Just wish her and Diana were still giggling together in Windsor 🥺
May Diana rest in peace now

Shame on them is spot on.
However, the Queen's mother, Margaret, didn't know what shame meant. The Queen did, but wouldn't show it.
She actually said in her own words," The biggest regret she had in her life was her neglect in getting to the" Aberfan Disaster" sooner than she did
.It was said at the time that she did not feel that she should be the centre of attraction at such a horrific disaster. ????
I was neutral towards Sarah, but after this I can say I fell in love with her. A normal woman who wanted to be herself in a hostile and toxic environment ( the british tabloid). Criticizing her for gaining weight throughout her pregnancies is very mean and low. Sorry for you Sarah , you truly deserve much more 🌹
Character is what counts. Not popularity
It wasn't just because she gained weight. It was her overall appearance. No matter what she wore, she always looked awkward. She walked in a ball gown like a bull in a China shop. Eugenie has the same heavy clompy walk. Sarah never had any interest in clothes, makeup, or hairstyles. Denim Prarie skirts, men's oversized bulky sweaters, A raccoon hat? Really? As a royal you need to get a stylist if you have no taste. Your in the publics eye. Added, why wouldn't she be interested in looking the best for her husband?

Zei B She should not have married into the royal family, she had been around them, she knew what was expected, but she flirted with male members of the public, she got millions of pounds into debt and she had affairs and was even asked to leave balmoral when one affair was front page news, she would even carry on her affairs in front of Beatrice
Outraged at how princess Margaret snubbed her! Just watched a doc on Margaret, SHE was out of control, trashy much! But since she was born a princess she was taught to look down on others.
I wonder how Fergie's children feel about how their mother was treated and their father's current scandals.
Well, the four of them appear to be very close and to love each other very much. Despite the divorce and bad press their family life seems to have thrived. That is not easy - and it is very much to Fergie's credit.

While I loved Princess Di, she and Fergie were worlds apart in personality, and behaviour, and I adore her spunk and enthusiasm! She and Andrew were married a little over a week after us, I was sad to hear they were divorcing, we are still going strong at 36 years now.
I know her affect on Princess Di irritated King Charles, he thought she brought the school girl out in his wife, and it was beneath her, especially in front of the press.
Sarah was given a raw deal, the royal family cared less that the press shredded her, it simply was not fair.

I’m told by someone who met her,she’s warm,friendly and down to earth.
@Rustyrules. I Think she is all those things. A loyal and steadfast woman. We still don’t know why she got too close to another man so soon after her marriage, especially as she was so much in love with Andrew. It’s a mystery that will never be probed. Did she find out something that she just couldn’t cope with and took comfort where it was offered? She presented herself as a cheerful, bubbly personality, but she had always suffered from a chronic lack of self-esteem. It wasn’t the loneliness of Andrew’s absences that was the trouble ( the ‘official” view). He wasn’t supportive or understanding, according to the earliest reports. But Sarah blamed herself - due to that chronic lack of self-esteem, and accepted her abrupt ejection from the family without complaining. She had been badly treated by her long-time boyfriend; she had no money or training. But she was bright, energetic and wanted to be useful. I think Andrew threw her away. She accepts the current relationship.
@@belindamay8063 of course she does. It gives her some status, even if Andrew is disgraced and she si not bothered by any scruples about his messy sex life. And she is much more comfortably off living with him than if she were on her own
Yes well we know a bit about Andrew now.
I’ll take her over him any day.
Candor, accessability, wore what she liked, brushed aside certain formalities, had an entrepreneurial spirit, was adventurous, managed money badly...there's such unadulterated entitlement in her actions...she's less a slave to procedure and these, to me are THE patented trademark characteristics of True Royal Material. Fergie herself is a unique brand!... I'm fascinated by this kind of person.
That's one of the major problems with the Royal Family....lack of guidance and support for new comers into the family.
Diana had that problem....then poor Fergie right up to Meghan.
You'd have thought that the Royal Family would have learnt to address this problem by now!
It does seem convenient Fergie got the bad press and Andrew never did all those years. I think the 'family' has a lot to do with who does and doesn't get certain treatment from the press.
Bandana Sharma: You are so correct. Why doesn't anyone have anything negative to say about Andrew? In fact, why is it always the woman's fault? As a side note: it's been my own experience in life that we, females, are always are own worst enemies. Men must laugh their butts off at us. Can we even change that??

Not a fan of her wayward husband. But just listening to the part where she tried helping the man with Motor neuron. Is this what the press and RF are like to look down their nose at a man with a very severe disability. What a cold hearted stuck up bunch of freaks .
Need an update...the fall of Andrew
Wow...I never knew. She is very talented, a well rounded human being.
It seems so unfair to me that every time a royal divorce takes place its the woman that is blamed....I mean really. It takes both parties for a marriage to succeed or t fail. Let be fair here!
She got out and has a life of her own. Good for her!!!!
Life of her own?? She lives with and is supported by her ex-husband and his wealthy family.
She lives with her ex-husband. Got out indeed🤣
"... the royal family had failed to give support..." This being said about Fergi. How dare we critisize Meghan Markle and Harry for leaving.
I have loved and will always love Sarah. She's such a cool person and it doesn't matter the smaller mistakes she's made, she's still so lovable because she makes herself as real a human being as possible.
I totally agree with you she tried her best many people forget kindness but those who receive and never forget are the poor who are always grateful God bless Sarah SHE will be always rembered for assisting the less fortunate
Thank God
Sarah didn’t leave, she was thrown out for misbehaving publicly with another man, while still married to PrinceAndrew.
@mary carver Yes, she made scandal after scandal.
@@matildamartin2811 Well, they are divorced, but she was still living in the same house as Andrew, at least until the girls were raised
. That must count for something.
I liked Fergie. I was sad to see her go.
Thank You for revealing the truth about “Fergie”
She is certainly a very special lady, I feel for her, especially it being all so
public, the media obsessed with making money out peoples lives, and creating controversy,
it’s all so wrong and unjust. I for one am glad you have thrown some light on her plight “Thanks Again” I feel Sarah was perfect for her role, as The Duchess of York, caring and compassionate it’s a pity Prince Andrew wasn’t able to be more supportive , mature and more compassionate, himself.I hope a lot more people, get hear the about who she really is. I Pray 🙏 God ✝️ Bless her &
hers 🙂Sherril
How can you speak ill of such a warm hearted lady? British or Afro American, Brits enjoy being cruel.
Yup! Meghan, like Sarah, never had a chance!
Mande Skelton i feel like Meghan at least has some star power over her fergie’s story has been tragic
@@mandeskelton9548 OH please don't you dare compare Megain that hypocrite to Fergie. Megxit didn't get half the backlash that Fergie ,Diana did I was around back in the 80's you don't have a clue even Catherine got a lot of bad press. Unlike Fergie all Meghan did when she joined the royal family was complain and preach!The Queen was nothing but gracious and lenient towards her in comparison to Diana or Fergie. Glad that thankless spoilt narcissist is gone!!

So true x
The Fall of Journalism: The British Press and Media
I think she is a down to earth lady and she does a lot. I wish people just leave her alone. She is a lovely lady 💕
ive always liked Sarah. she was and still is, real and honest.
She was honest?
Where is she now in 2022
What about the famous toe sucking pic don’t blame the press for that!!!

@@santhajohn Reading Children’s books on her TH-cam channel. It’s adorable actually.
Too incredibly biased against her. No blame at all on her man. LEAVE THE INFANT TO COME WITH HIM FOR WEEKS??? Where is the ridicule for him?
It's not a competition, she shouldn't have left her child. If my friend said she was going to do such a thing I would tell her not to and be very disappointed in her. I would question her skills as a parent and mother. If she said her husband was going away for work I would think nothing of it accept that sad and unfortunate for the baby and mother. So why would I think any different for Sarah? It is what is is, and I said what I said.
This is a very old video
he was away from home because he was in the Navy. naval officers spend a lot of time away. Sarah had been on a working trip but instead of going home when it was over she followed ANdy around his ports. Given that Andrew was a career officerr was she going to do that for the rest of his working life?
She is humbe and simple with a beautiful heart and soul❤️❤️🙏
Andrew's perversions make her look like a saint
She's a saint.
@Valerie O'Brien uhmm yes?
@Valerie O'Brien no gosh man, She was 17
Sorry but right now still a Court case to go ahead and in our laws, the rules are not guilty until proven guilty.; it is an offence to state or imply they are guilty before the evidence has been given to the Courts in this country.
It remains my firm conviction that he is wholly guilty of not only what is discussed but likely far more.
Fergie lacks self-awareness. Andrew lacks morals.
You can add that lack of morals on both of them. She’s *not* some unaware dummie!
they are perfect for each other.
Spot on!
I think they both lack morals.
And what about Ferries affair, while she was pregnant and the toe-licking session by Johnny Bryant within earshot of her children? Fergie was not exactly a pillar of morals when she was married to Andrew, she ridiculed him in public....birds of a feather!
Sarah was my favourite royal & I felt terribly sad for her as she married into a firm that in the end betrayed her. The fact that she & Andrew still have a good relationship shows that both of them were meant for one another & had Andrew been born into a normal world their marriage would probably have lasted.

And strangely, people continue to persecute Harry and Meghan at every step, just as they did with Fergie.
@@miadodson1938 If Megan stopped passing on tidbits to the press, then they would be quickly forgotten. But the fact that she keeps pushing her & Harry into the limelight especially with politics then they deserve what they get especially when Harry openly criticized the American 1st amendment. Then told the press porkies which now backfire as the press now check up on their statements & throw it back in their face. They are an embarrassment to the British people & the monarchy. Sarah was a different kettle of fish altogether & just needed guidance. She looked lovely at the Queen's funeral & I have since heard from a palace insider that she used to come over to see the Queen & take the doggies out for a walk, sometimes with the Queen.
@@miadodson1938 thanks. The firm( royal) are an amazing ppl🙄
@@miadodson1938 The key difference between Fergie and The Sussex’s is loyalty and accountability. Fergie has spoken at length about her faults and the part she played in destroying her marriage. The Sussex’s don’t hold themselves accountable for any of their mistakes.
“They like women from 100 years ago”... Do you mean under age teenagers?
Women of the past were relatives groom by the Royal to keep their blood only in the Royals actually by Sarah and the Princes Diana did them a favor Andrew is all FK up in the head and and the other one Charles is no better. thank god their children did not come out like them they are normal
dont be silly.
Both of her daughters are lovely women.
I admire her tenacity. Not enough support. And needed real down to earth friends. I thought she was common though, but still, if the marriage was a good match then it was good. It's too bad Andrew wasn't home more. She needed to feel some love and company. I relate to that. You think you can handle it until you feel very lonely and become very depressed
So the queen can leave her children for duty, but if her daughter in law does, she’s a bad mum?
Am telling u
This is obviously a documentary from ages ago. The line about how the Prince and Princess of Wales (Charles and Diana) still being married definitely tells you that. However, what I think is truly tragic is how even in 2020, the young women who are married into the royal family are still treated less than dirt by the press. Things haven’t changed in all this time and it’s absolutely appalling.
D
It's paralled today by the way the press and royals treated MEGHAN MARKLE. First,overwhelming scrutiny, then picking on everything, trashing her reputation and outright hostility. No wonder they both had to leave that family alone.
It seems that once again the queen was welcoming (and perhaps as one commentator in the video stated - avoidant) while some staff, who were frustrated with the independent ways of these women, were anything but...
)o99
In each case The Queen did nothing, why didn’t she help them ? Why didn’t she tell The Press to leave them alone?
This was the most humane of all the royal.documentaries...so compassionate and articulate...bless you both
I remember all this going on at the time… Fergie had more class than all of them put together and was a big influence on me as a young woman and I admire her greatly xx
I do not doubt the superb influence that this young woman could have had ... It is beautiful and intrepid original and all in joy. Her daughters are lucky
I think she talked to much. She s English lived in England should know about the royals. She talked to.much about the royal family told made fun of things went on the palace like the light bulbs the way shades on the windows. She caught him was ntnwhat She thought palace life should be. Poor thing all that money. Now it is way worse he her x has done omg one sick here ...
I still love you Fergie. Hang in there and please keep your EYES OPEN AND DO THE RIGHT THING! PLEASE!!!
My only complaint concerning Fergie is her taste/style in clothes. Fergie seriously needed a Stylist.
As it turns out, she was too old for him.
What that have to do with it?
@@denine...9320 that was sarchasm (sic).

Ingrid Seward reminds me of Diana. I feel sorry for Sarah and how she did not appear to get an adequate divorce settlement. Strange how she and Andrew have remained so close over the years; admirable.
She tries to copy Diana's mannerisms I saw many documentaries where she spoke ill about diana
hardly. they encourage each other in bad behaviour
@@glen7318 haha yes a lot has happened in the two years since I made that comment. Although I still admire people who can maintain a friendly relationship after a divorce, having failed to do so myself.
@@katytaylor681 it suits them. I think they are genuinely close but it also suits Andy to have a companion and Fergie to have a partnerr who helps out with her money problems.
Fergie and Diana were to TWO exceptional women. They were different as night and day. Fergie is joyful and bubbly with a free spirit and Diana was classy and an elegance of grace. Both were smart making a good balance in the royal family. It's an atrocity how the media always put Fergie down. Not everyone has a good metabolism and yet she always had the biggest smile and she glowed. I always felt so bad for her, and Diana too, both marrying spoiled brats being spoon fed on a silver platter. They both wanted their Prince charming but found they married overindulged flesh.
Ingrid has alot of Diana's mannerisms such as how she holds her head when she's talking even the shy upward look.
Ingrid who?
Who the hell is Ingrid ?
I've always liked Sarah. She has a kind heart and was a breath of fresh air. I loved that she skied. It showed she believed in healthy life. Many Americans love skiing. Middle class. I see nothing wrong with it. It's sad that she was lonely and she had gotten divorced. I think they may have been able to work it out if it wasn't so public.
I find it funny that everyone picked on her clothes. But yet they had people that helped her pick out her wardrobe. Plus the 1980's had the worst clothing styles. Those big fluffy puff sleeves. Those alone added a 10 pound look to you. Not many elegant clothes bad then for anyone that were a size 10 or larger.
Fergie understood people, she was born with this gift, she was natural, the problem was people didn't understand her.
How old are these videos? The idea that Fergie “changed” Randy Andy is quite ludicrous. He was just protected from exposure.
Feel sorry for Fergie; I feel that her only fault was that she had a brain of her own and she was unwilling to be just another puppet . Loved this documentary and I now have even more respect for Fergie. She was the true royal.
nonsense
Thank you for the openness and sincerity approaching Sara Ferguson’s real dilema, her personally , which I much admired her spontaneity ti connect with the public.
3:43 the way the Queen shhoo the paparazzi away😂 and they ran to the side quick😂
she prooves that it is possible !
⚜
Princess Diana was NOT a commoner she was from an Aristocratic family, Fergie is from a Militery family so their famalies knew the Royal family very well
I think Sarah is a wonderful Lady who is very kind and loves life. Best of wishes to her for a full and happy life.
Beauty shines from within. This True Lady is Very Beautiful; The Queen should financially support her {within reason}.
*Namaste*
A shame that the British media couldn't just focus on Sarah's Royal duties.
Since Sarah didn't exactly focus on htem much, how would that go?
But it seems she did do the tasks she was supposed to and did them with enthusiasm and whole heartedly. Perhaps reporting that would have made a boring account though and not sold newspapers. though
@@tamaliaalisjahbana9354 Bingo!
@@tamaliaalisjahbana9354 she had some enthusiasm at first but she began to let the partying and fun chasing go ot her head.
Fergie was so short circuited by press, etc. She was a precious spontaneous, dear heart.
33:40 - imagine what it’s like for prince Andrew not knowing what it’s like to buy a Big Mac or go grocery shopping ... hummm. Well we know he’s been to Pizza Express in Woking. Hopefully he paid for his pizza!
Kali Cat
Lol......I believe he will now be paying for the entire rest of his life! After his television interview he has paved his future path with his friend Jeffrey Epstein.
binge watching royal documentaries made me realize that the British press hate everything about everyone and make fun of the women all the time what happened to Sara and Diana is the same thing that is happening to Megan but the inly differences is that harry loved his wife

Boom!! Agree!!’
Very true. It's happening now, with Meghan and Kate.
Please Markle is a professional victim. It's an insult to lump her with Diana and Fergie.
@@Langley_Ackerman19 oh please you guys are professional complainers the woman would breath and y'all gonna find something to cry about get a life
Great documentary on Fergie. She was and is a wonderful Princess and woman. Over the years her love shows through and on.
30:35 Made me realise, the British press has been a pro at bullying for so long..
I couldn’t help but think about Meghan Markle!
They were smart to get out it seems
The British News is much much worse than Americans and their tabloids are even worse. Life in the Royal monarchy is not the fairytale life they want the public to believe it is. Ask Fergie and Diana told the absolute truth which is why she’s not with us anymore, she did a wonderful job with her boys, it’s just unfortunate William is closest to being a king unless his dad lives to be 110 as the queen will all of course his children or ahead of Harry. I’m so happy for him and I believe he would have full support of his mom if alive. They have my blessing and I wish them much happiness and success
Kandy Kandy Really Kandy, shut up. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
@Kandy Kandy You all are disgusting. You expect to be able to harass and abuse any woman who marries into the royal family like it's your natural right - and when Meghan stands up to you you throw a screaming fit.
@Kandy Kandy You are a damn fool protecting the male part of Royal family, no one gives a rat's ass for you ! PS: keep "screaming" in the coments it's quite fun.
It pales in comparison to her ex-husbands serial sexual assault on minors. And when is this guy going to be brought in for questioning by the police? He’s being accused by multiple victims.
evidence?
@@glen7318 lol do u live under a rock?
@@emj8662 I dont know of any evidence. The police investigated and found nothing to charge him with
She hasn’t left the family, SHE LIVES WITH ANDREW. But... it is absolutely horrible the way the press treated Fergie and Diana! It’s absolutely stalking,slanderous, and criminal behavior. The Queen should have called down the press.
what was criminal about it?
looks like shes falling back into royal circles. with andrews saga and her daughters' wedding. i think from what I see, shes quite well liked except by the royal family ...shes very friendly...Something they dont undrstand
I've read the one who really doesn't like her is Prince Phillip.
They do understand
friendlyness !
⚜
It was refreshing to see a more sympathetic view of her. I can't say that I would have approved of the affair but as an adult, I understand the isolation and wanting to fill that.
Depends on reasons
If you're stuck with a badly behaved spouse you gotta develop a way to cope
Understandably
@@nicolemurphy2629 rot, Fergie was the one who was behaving badly, she got bored with Andrew very soon and began to find other richer more amusing men
I always liked Sarah Ferguson. She had a wonderful bright spirit. She was full of energy and is a wonderful mum and person,Andrew and her get along very well too. I didn't like the way the press was picking on her,everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect.
HOW can she STIIIIILL stand by Prince Andrew???! She's worked SO hard to redeem herself and came as close as one could get to 100%. So why would she then throw that ALL away? It seems super DEMENTED to me! Just say NO Fergie!!! 🚫🤴
She doesn't care. She wants money, and a comfortable liffestyle. She is also fond of Andrew...
Because no matter what he is the father of her children ! That’s why ! And he stood by her all these years also ,I really believe that no matter the outcome these two still love each other and the public and especially the tabloids should just leave them alone and mind their own business !
@@agnesfredericksen9892 She's fond of Andrew but their money making is an important factor in their staying together. If she had met a millionair who wnated to marry her years ago, I doubt we'd have seen her continuing to live with Andrew or even the girls
She is loyal.
