Sarah Ferguson Says Royals 'Can't Have It Both Ways' If They Leave  

The Duchess of York has said that members of the royal family who choose to leave the fold “can’t sit on the fence” and must decide whether they want to be “in or out”.

Her comments come amid ongoing tensions between the royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have repeatedly aired their grievances over Buckingham Palace’s relationship with the tabloid press since they stepped down as senior royals in 2020.

Sarah Ferguson, who was married to the Duke of York until their separation in 1992 and divorce four years later, did not refer directly to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle while talking about her own departure from the royal family.

In a new interview with The Independent, she reflected on her career as an author, having spent 12 years in the US writing children’s books and starring in several reality television shows.

The 63-year-old duchess said: “Well, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t sit on the fence and keep one foot in and one foot out. You’re either in or out.

“But then don’t cry about not being invited to weddings. You chose to leave, now go and live it – and be it.”

Ferguson, who still shares the Royal Lodge in Windsor with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, travels frequently between the US and the UK. She is currently promoting her new romance novel, A Most Intriguing Lady.

Like the duchess, Harry and Meghan dropped their HRH titles after they stepped back from royal duties and no longer receive public funds.

In their announcement in January 2020, the Sussexes said: “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty, the Queen.”
