The last Royal couple to marry in Westminster Abbey was Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew in 1986. It was a bittersweet moment for the duchess to watch the recent wedding elsewhere, instead of at the Abbey with her own two daughters. Ferguson appeared on "Oprah" Wednesday, May 11. She talked about her being snubbed from the recent Royal Wedding that took place on April 29. We hear her briefly talk about her daughter's unusual hat she wore at the wedding that looked like deer antlers. Sarah was the only guest during the hour show. Oprah Winfrey mostly talked about Sarah's new show on the OWN network.
The Truth Behind the Royal Wedding Snub
It opened with seeing clips from Ferguson's appearance on Oprah in May 2010. This was after the undercover sting scandal where she promised a journalist $724,000 by offering access to Prince Andrew. Before the interview began Sarah wanted to clarify her daughter Beatrice was going to sell her world famous antler hat on eBay where the proceeds would go to UNICEF and other charities. In her own words Ferguson stated she was not invited to the wedding.
She went to a remote area in Thailand where there was no television or radio for her to listen to the wedding. Instead, she called someone in London who put the phone up to the TV to hear what was going on. She mainly did this to learn what her daughters and Prince Andrew were doing. One thing Sarah made clear was that she ostracized herself from the Royal Wedding. The responsibility was hers alone. It made her feel a little bit better that Diana, Prince William's mother, was not there either. They had been close friends since age 14.
Finding Sarah Docu-Series on OWN June 12, 2011
Most of the interview was in promoting the six episode series of the documentary "Finding Sarah" that will premiere on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). There were a number of clips where she has therapy sessions with Dr. Phil that is quite profound. Sarah meets up with financial wizard Suze Orman dealing with her never-ending financial bankruptcy issues. Several clips show her in tears when the British press attacked her on weight gain during her marriage. There's an ironic moment she is riding in a car then tells the driver that's where I use to live, meaning Buckingham Palace.
