Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York and ex-wife of Prince Andrew, is excited about her new business venture. The royal known as Fergie is releasing her lifestyle brand on Amazon, and it will be called Sarah Senses.
In an interview with Vogue Arabia, Fergie said that Sarah Senses would launch room diffusers and blended teas from Kent. She proceeded to show off her products' elegant packaging during the interview, with boxes marked with her brand's logo.
Fergie has been planning her lifestyle brand since last year. She released a range of flavored teas last December to help raise money for Street Child, a charity where she's the founding patron.
The Vogue interview also highlighted the status of her relationship with Prince Andrew. Divorced since 1996, the York ex-couple continues to be "bigger than friends" as they have amicably spent years co-parenting and raising Princess Beatrice, now 31, and Princess Eugenie, now 29.
Fergie said that her "wonderful" ex-husband is in such an "enormous pain" because of his controversial friendship with the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Duchess of York said that Prince Andrew is the best man she knows who have done incredible things for Britain.
She admitted that the last six months had been the hardest for her girls. According to The Telegraph, Sarah Ferguson was abroad when Prince Andrew decided to be interviewed on BBC. Royal experts believed that the Duke of York would not have proceeded with the coverage had Sarah been around to caution him.
The duchess also talked about her daughters, who are scrutinized for their imperfections. She's proud of how Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are more down to earth than the other royals because they were raised by good parents.
Fergie also revealed that she sympathizes with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry's wife, for the way she is depicted in the press. Citing that she's been bullied in the media as well, Fergie said that she is "desperately sorry for the pain" Meghan is experiencing.
The older royal doesn't have any advice for Meghan, but the Sussex royal could pick a few points or two based on how Fergie dealt with the negativity in her early years in the royal family. As someone who was always misunderstood by the press, Sarah Ferguson wrote a book series about mental health and used this as a platform to talk about issues close to her heart.
