Duchess of York opens up about her struggles with Andrew and her late father in rare interview.
Sarah Ferguson has shared a heartfelt and shocking revelation about her life with Prince Andrew, drawing parallels between her ex-husband and her late father, Major Ronald Ferguson.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, the Duchess of York candidly discussed her father’s mental health battles, revealing she had become his “carer” after her sister Jane moved to Australia. Sarah described Major Ferguson as “profoundly sad and struggling for many years” but unwilling to seek help.
In a surprising moment, she compared her father’s emotional struggles to her relationship with Prince Andrew, stating, “I was left to look after a sad man, which is sort of what I’m doing now.”
Despite their divorce, the former couple has maintained a close friendship and continues to reside together at the Royal Lodge. Their bond has often been lauded, even as Andrew faces ongoing controversies, including a spy scandal that overshadowed the end of 2024 and led to Sarah’s absence from royal Christmas celebrations.
The Duchess’s candid remarks provide insight into her unwavering support for Andrew amid his disputes with King Charles and personal challenges. Her reflection highlights the emotional toll of navigating life alongside two influential yet troubled men in her life.
