Reports suggest Sarah Ferguson felt aggrieved when Meghan Markle "overshadowed her daughter's wedding day."
Speculations arise that the Sussexes' announcement of expecting their first child coincided with Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018, dampening the celebratory atmosphere.
The Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of York reportedly share a fluctuating relationship since their initial meeting in October 2016.
Royal commentators observed Sarah Ferguson's ire following Meghan and Harry's announcement. In the book "Royals at War," authors Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett noted, "Meghan committed a social blunder by announcing her pregnancy at such a significant moment, stealing Eugenie's thunder. Eugenie was furious, as was her mother, Sarah."
Initially, Prince Harry arranged for Sarah Ferguson to meet Meghan, with the trio sharing drinks at the Royal Lodge. However, despite their acquaintance and attending events together, Sarah later claimed to have limited knowledge of Meghan.
In a candid interview with The Telegraph in March 2023, Sarah confessed, "I don't really know Meghan. I haven't really met her."
Contrastingly, Meghan recounted her interactions with Sarah Ferguson during her televised interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, expressing gratitude for Fergie's guidance on royal protocol, including how to curtsey. Meghan revealed her surprise at meeting the Queen, stating she learned of the meeting "moments before" it occurred.
