Sarah Ferguson, also known as Fergie, reminisced about a humorous incident involving herself and the late Princess Diana during their wild hen party celebrations.
The duo, who shared a close bond, found themselves in a peculiar situation just a week before Fergie’s wedding to Prince Andrew.
They were apprehended for pretending to be police officers, a mischievous act that led to an unexpected encounter with the authorities.
Recounting the event on the White Wine Question Time podcast, Fergie shared how they had dressed up as police women for her hen night and were detained by Parks Police.
The unexpected turn of events saw them being escorted in a Parks Police van, where Diana casually indulged in smoky bacon crisps while waiting for the situation to unfold.
It was Diana’s quick thinking, symbolized by flicking her ring, that eventually helped them elude any serious repercussions.
The incident, which took place prior to Fergie’s wedding in July 1986, resulted in her facing the consequences the following day.
However, to her relief, even the Queen found humor in the escapade.
Reflecting on the memory, Fergie humorously mentioned how they both flaunted their rings, a gesture of camaraderie between the two friends.
Amidst the revelry, Fergie recalled another amusing encounter at Annabelle’s nightclub in London, frequented by royalty.
Mistaken for actual police officers, they were politely asked to leave by a staff member who failed to recognize them.
This led to a comical exchange outside the club, with Diana’s playful nature shining through as she remarked on a passerby’s attire.
Describing their close relationship, Fergie expressed her deep affection for Diana, referring to them as each other’s wing woman.
Their enduring friendship, marked by shared memories and inside jokes, portrayed a bond that transcended mere acquaintanceship.
Fergie affectionately reminisced about their time together, highlighting the cherished moments they had shared.
Following her divorce from Prince Andrew in 1996, Fergie has remained active within royal circles, with her daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie also playing significant roles.
Recent reports suggest that Fergie has been attempting to mediate the ongoing tensions between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family.
According to royal expert Tom Quinn, Fergie’s efforts to bridge the divide between the feuding parties reflect her desire to maintain harmony within the royal household.
Despite the challenges posed by the rift between the Sussexes and the rest of the family, Fergie, along with her daughters, has endeavored to ease the tensions and encourage reconciliation.
Quinn further elaborated on Fergie’s involvement, highlighting her past experiences and her daughters’ supportive roles in the delicate situation.
While attempts have been made to pacify the disagreements, the complexities of the feud, particularly Harry’s deep-seated grievances, present a formidable obstacle to achieving lasting peace within the royal family.
