Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, told Oprah Winfrey that not receiving an invitation to the Royal Wedding was “so difficult because I wanted to be there with my girls 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 ex-husband, Prince Andrew. Ferguson herself went to Thailand on that day to get away from it all.
Ferguson blames herself for the royal diss. “I felt that I ostracized myself by my behavior, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes. That I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake?”
The full interview with Ferguson will air on The Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday May 11. Ferguson’s new series Finding Sarah will premiere in June on Winfrey’s new cable station, OWN.
