Sarah Ferguson did not want to conform to Prince Andrew’s list of priorities.
The former Duchess of York, who split from Prince Andrew in 1996, was told she can never be her husband’s number one priority.
In a book about Andrew, he is alleged to have told Fergie: “I am a prince, then a naval officer, then a husband.”
Fergie later commented: “I wanted to work; it’s not right for a princess of the royal house to be commercial,” she said. “So Andrew and I decided to make the divorce official so I could leave and get a job.”
In an article in The Sunday Times, he said: “I travel a lot and have always been able to make anywhere my home… When I’m in the UK I’m lucky enough to stay at the Royal Lodge. I wouldn’t call it my home because that would be presumptuous.”
She continued: “I think the love I had for him then is the love I still have for him now,” she once said.
“We are the happiest divorced couple in the world… We are divorced from each other, not from each other. My duty is to him. I am very proud of him. I support him and always will,” Fergie said.
