Sarah Ferguson revealed that King Charles still calls her ‘Fergie’ while making a cheeky revelation about their relationship.

As she was previously married to Prince Andrew, the 65-year-old has known the King for many years. Although the pair divorced in 1996, Sarah still holds close relationships with her ex-husband and his family.

Speaking in a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Sarah said: “I’ve known the King all my life and I absolutely adore him. He’s kind and makes me laugh, and I love that he still calls me Fergie.”

She added: “At Dummer, Mum would say, ‘Don’t be naughty with the Prince of Wales when he comes to stay, don’t duck him in the pool.’

“I’d duck him straight in the pool and put a fake dog turd outside his room. He thought it was hilarious.”

The former royal also spoke of her close relationship with Andrew, whom she – despite not being in a relationship with – still lives with at Royal Lodge.

Discussing the love that she still has for Andrew – the father of her two daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice – Sarah said made a pledge to always be there for him “through thick and thin”.

Speaking of “kind” Andrew, she said: “…Our wedding was the best day of my life. But I gave up my anonymity that day. I was able to because love conquers all. It’s still with us today.

“I won’t let him down. He supports me as much as I support him. He’s supported me through thick and thin, not just marriage or divorce. We agree on the three Cs — communication, compromise, compassion.”

Sarah’s strong relationship with the Royal Family was shown during her surprise appearance on the Sandringham estate for the Christmas Day walkabout last December 25. It was her first time attending the event in three decades.

Dressed in green, Sarah was all smiles as she greeted the well-wishers who gathered to spot the royals on their walk to church.

Posting on X shortly after her appearance, Sarah wrote: “We are enjoying each other’s company and feeling grateful today. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Happy Christmas to anyone who celebrates and season’s greetings to all!”
