Sarah Ferguson has made her stance clear on Queen Camilla as she issued a fresh request.

The 65-year-old Duchess of York married into the Royal Family in 1986, before divorcing Prince Andrew 10 years later.


In a tell-all interview with The Times, Sarah issued a plea to the King and Queen after sharing her willingness “to do more" for them.

“Queen Camilla was close friends with Mum, which is why we’re so close now," she said.

"But Diana was my best friend from the age of 14.

"That’s why it’s so big that the Queen and I get on now.

"It’s rather nice, and she reminds me of Mum. I admire the extraordinary support she’s giving this country.

"I want to do as much for the Queen as possible.

“I wish they’d ask me to do more," she added.

Sarah shares two children with Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice, born in 1988, and Princess Eugenie, in 1990.

During her marriage to Queen Elizabeth’s son, she became incredibly close to the late monarch.

Speaking to the publication, she said: “Queen Elizabeth and I got on so well. My mum was her close friend so she knew me all my life and she loved me.

"The Queen was much more my mother than my mother was. I called her Mumma.

"She never let me down, even if I let her down. Even through the darkest days, she never left me.

“Though I still got nervous seeing her right up until the end because she was the Queen of England.

"I had many Covid jabs so I could walk the dogs with her. She had little brown walking shoes. Now I have the corgis — they’re phenomenal.”
