The Duchess of York is putting on a brave face about her exclusion from next month’s coronation of King Charles, her one-time brother-in-law.
Poor Sarah Ferguson. The Duchess of York is putting on a brave face about herShe has clearly had to come to terms with being persona non grata in royal circles, and, at a recent event in New York to promote her latest book, bravely explained the lack of an invitation thus: “I am travelling at the moment, so maybe it has gone to another place.”
No one had the heart to tell her that the Save the Date invitations went out by email, but then Fergie, in an appearance onlast week, went a little further. “I also love to watch it on telly,” she said, cheerfully, “because you hear a lot on telly.” She didn’t exactly say that she was NFI, but we got the message. I think it’s rather mean of the Royal Family to exclude her. , has raised two princesses, stood by her disgraced ex-husband, been publicly supportive to Charles and Camilla and, most important, now has two of the late Queen’s corgis in her care. Imagine what it would do for the rehabilitation of her public image if she were to lead Sandy and Muick in regal procession into the Abbey.
Either way, there will be many, many people on 6 May who will have a lesser claim to a seat in Westminster Abbey than Fergie. Like, for instance, Humza Yousaf, the leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland. An avowed Republican, he has decided to give a Scottish Independence march a miss in favour of the big ticket and to be there among the baubles and the coronets.
