Britain’s royal family may be kicking itself for letting Sarah Ferguson star in a reality series for Oprah Winfrey’s new network.
The disgraced Duchess of York let out a number of Buckingham Palace secrets during the first episode of “Finding Sarah,” the six-part series that premieres this Sunday night.
“Do you keep in touch with Prince Charles?” she’s asked by financial writer Suze Orman, according to London’s News of the World, which obtained a copy of the first show.
“I keep away,” she replies. “Because you’re divorced, therefore you’re not invited.
“I haven’t spent a Christmas with my children for 12 years. But that’s OK.”
After a pause, she corrects herself. “It’s not OK, but what else can I do? I hate it.”
She tells also how hard life was after marrying into the royal family.
“I went to Buckingham Palace and lived on the second floor. But two weeks after getting married, [Prince] Andrew was sent to sea [as a naval officer].
“I saw him 40 days a year for the first five years.
“Suddenly, I went, ‘Hold on a minute. What’s all this? I thought I was going to live with my husband.’
“Andrew wasn’t there,” she sobs, “and I didn’t know what to do.”
