CHICAGO (AP) — Not receiving an invitation to the royal wedding was “difficult,” Sarah Ferguson (photo) tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview.
The Duchess of York says on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she went to Thailand instead of attending last month’s marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge.
“It was so difficult,” Ferguson said in quotes provided by Harpo Productions. “Because I wanted to be there with my girls and to — and to be getting them dressed and to go as a family.”
Ferguson’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, attended the wedding with their father and Ferguson’s former husband, Prince Andrew. Ferguson said she spoke with Prince Andrew and her daughters throughout that morning.
“He made me feel very part of the day on April the 29th,” Ferguson said.
Ferguson’s new series Finding Sarah is to premiere in June on Winfrey’s new cable station, OWN. Winfrey is ending her talk show on May 25 after 25 years.
