An adventurous, contemporary woman, Sarah Ferguson seemed a promising addition to the royal household.
A witty match for Prince Andrew, an old friend of the late Princess Diana and country sports enthusiast alongside the Queen, the possibility of going wrong seemed far-fetched.
However, as time went on, her choice of clothing, hobbies, holidays and the design of her new home caused a whirlwind of media and controversy. Her fiery, spontaneous spirit was deemed too much for the more rigid institution and what was expected of her position.
The Duchess continued to make irreversible mistakes, ending in a partial exile from the royal family and a great deal of pain and struggle for many years to come.
But unlike the late Princess of Wales’ tragic tale, Sarah survived and managed to reinvent herself time after time.

I've always liked Sarah. She's not the most diplomatic and had a talent for putting her foot in her mouth, but to me she always came across as authentic and down-to-earth. After initial enthusiasm, she was treated abominably by the press. And yet she never pulled out the victim card, complained or talked badly about anyone. Even now that she has been diagnosed with cancer for the second time, she continues to smile. A strong woman.

Sarah, may not be to everyone’s taste, but she has stayed loyal to the Royal Family and kept her mouth shut with dignity
-
I have always had a soft spot for Fergie. She is loyal (which is sadly lacking in many these days) and has been an amazing mum too.
-
What A HYPOCRITE PRINCESS MARGARET IS. SAYING FERGIE BROUGHT SHAME ON THE FAMILY. WHAT A JOKE
-
Sarah and Andrew looked so happy. What a tragedy. They were so suited.
-
Royal come back? Her and Diana should NEVER EVER have been let go! And treated so horribly. I don't blame the late Majesty entirely, I blame the so called 'advisors' and so called 'protocol'. I was a teenager when Dianna and Sarah entered the Royal family. They were both a breath of fresh air. As time went on, MAINLY THE PRESS (and certain members of the Royal family), were HORRIBLE TO THEM BOTH, ultimately playing them against one other and against the public!! It was horrible. Blind Freddy could see just how badly they were treated. So, It's nice to FINALLY see a positive doco about Sarah, and I am glad His Majesty has welcomed her back into the fold ❤🇦🇺

The RF made the same mistake with Sarah that they did with Diana - they just 'Tossed' her in the deep end without any help - unlike how they did with Catherine. whereas the Queen, Sophie, Camilla & William mentored & helped Catherine have a smooth transition. Andrew being away for most of the year with his Naval duties didn't help things.

Have always loved Sarah! She is a wonderful person, mother, grandmother and friend to all. I am proud of all her achievements! ❤😊❤
-
A truly remarkable woman. She owns her mistakes & moves on. Making a successful life post RF without telling lies or betraying anyone.
-
Sarah was guilty of being boisterous, and making huge errors of judgement, and who amongst us can say we haven’t been guilty of at least one of those. She has never betrayed one single Royal secret, and for the lashing she took, it must have been tempting, but she has remained loyal to the end. I always liked Sarah, and still do, so good luck to you Fergie, I think your girls have done you proud, and in return you have been an amazing Mum to them. Keep on being yourself, some of us love you for just that.
-
Sarah is very loyal. Stood by her dad when he “retired” from polo club. Her mom leaving must’ve been devastating. Mom moved to Argentina.
-
What I liked most about Sarah was she never had mouthed the Royal Family
-
A great woman - full of joy and kindness- a true Royal what a joy for all
-
I have always liked Fergie she such a jolly old thing- sending her prayers of a speedy recovery from her current ailments ❤
-
Sarah and Andrew were so good together! But, seeing your husband/wife only 40 days/year just isn't healthy. I'm so glad they support each other now!!❤❤❤
-
I adore Sarah. She is a strong woman who raised two strong daughters. I feel she has a loving, caring,personality.
-
The Duchess of York has always been one of my favourite Royals, very down to earth, when the chips where down she pulled herself up and got on with it, no whinging or moaning about woe is me, didn’t trash the Royal Family and always accepted responsibility for her mistakes or wrongdoings. A loyal daughter in law to the Queen, and personally I would like to see her and Andrew get married again they are right for each other. I hope she fully recovers from her newest battle with cancer and has many years of happiness in front of her 🇨🇦.
-
It’s amazing the transformation and evolving Fergie has done over the span of her public/royal marriage life. Makes you wonder what might’ve been if Diana had been alive to do so as well.
-
Nothing wrong with her. A good sort, like Princess Diana.
-
My heart goes out to Sarah, she has worked so hard and still does. If they had been left alone , they may have sorted it out. But the press saw a feeding frenzy.
But this Lady will not be put down for long. Her books bring her a lot, i loved Budgie the little Helicopter.
