About Sarah Ferguson
On March 19, 1986, Prince Andrew, who was fourth in line to the throne at the time, and Sarah Ferguson made the announcement that they were engaged to be married. Prince Andrew had known Ferguson since they were children. They had since crossed paths on occasion during polo tournaments and reconnected at Royal Ascot in 1985.
Sarah Margaret Ferguson was born on October 15th, 1959, at London Welbeck Hospital, which is located in the city of London. She is the second daughter of Major Ronald Ferguson and Susan Barrantes. Susan gave birth to her in 1937. Major Ronald passed away in 2003.
She is a descendant of King Charles II of England through three of his illegitimate children: Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond; James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth; and Anne Lennard, Countess of Sussex. Charles Lennox was the first Duke of Richmond, and James Scott was the first Duke of Monmouth. Anne Lennard was the Countess of Sussex.
Andrew and Sarah’s wedding took place at Westminster Abbey on July 23, 1986, after Andrew had obtained the Queen’s assent for the union, which, according to the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 in effect at the time, was necessary for all descendants of King George III. As soon as Prince Andrew married Sarah, the Queen bestowed upon him the title of Duke of York, and Sarah, as Andrew’s new bride, immediately assumed the royal and ducal rank of her new husband, becoming Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York.
Sarah Bradford, Andrew’s biographer, wrote that one of the requirements of his job as a naval commander was that he spend extended amounts of time away from his family. According to Sarah’s version of events, throughout the first five years of their marriage, the pair averaged only seeing each other for a total of forty days per year. By 1991, the marriage was in danger because to Sarah’s difficulty in adjusting to life as a member of the royal family, which contributed to the difficulty. When images of her friend, the Texan multimillionaire Steve Wyatt, including one of him holding Sarah’s little daughter, were published in the newspapers in January 1992, her relationship with Wyatt attracted a great deal of media attention.
In August of 1992, the tabloid newspaper Daily Mirror in the United Kingdom revealed images that had been covertly shot of an American financial manager named John Bryan licking Sarah’s toes while she sunbathed in a topless state. Sarah was subjected to significant derision from the general people, which played a role in the furthering of her separation from the British royal family.
Even after the divorce, the lifestyle of Sarah continued to be covered by the tabloids in Britain. In 1995, a baggage handler at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City pleaded guilty to stealing the diamond necklace and bracelet that belonged to the victim, which had a combined value of $382,000 at the time. Commercial endeavors pursued by Sarah have included an endorsement contract with Weight Watchers that lasted for eleven years, as well as product development and promotion work with Wedgwood and Avon.
In 2015, it was claimed that Sarah had moved out of Royal Lodge and taken up residence in Verbier, Switzerland, where she and the Duke of York possessed a chalet for a combined total of thirteen million pounds (£13,000,000). In 2016, she submitted her residency application in Switzerland. In addition to that, Sarah has a room at Royal Lodge and a rented apartment in Eaton Square, both of which are located in London.
