Sarah Ferguson recently sat down for a chat and got candid about one of the greatest honors of her life, entering the royal family.
She addressed it all during her interview with the Sunday Times, “Growing up I always wanted to be an Olympic showjumper. I never dreamt I would be a princess.”
“When I married Prince Andrew I became a public figure and it was the greatest honour. When you marry into the family you give up your anonymity, and that comes with challenges but also opportunities.”
During the course of her interview, the Duchess of York also referenced her shortcomings and addressed all the lessons she learned as a result of her marriage to Prince Andrew.
“In terms of my own mental health, I have always had to work very hard on that because I am a very sensitive person and I take things personally.”
She concluded by saying, “I really did mind when all those terrible articles were written about me, and sometimes still are. I have a therapist and I rely on friendship, my family and my work to keep me focused on what’s important.”
