Sarah Ferguson considers herself to be the "luckiest girl alive" to have married Prince Andrew, per <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/3383935/sarah-ferguson-new-book-royal-romance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a>. Fergie, 61, tied the knot with The Queen's son Prince Andrew, Duke of York, back in 1986 and it's safe to say their wedding was a grandiose event. The couple went on to welcome two girls; Princess Beatrice, 32, and Princess Eugenie, 31. However, despite creating the ideal "happy family" image, Fergie and Prince Andrew split in 1992 - but still to this day claims they were the "happiest divorced couple". Despite the split, the pair continued to live as a foursome at the Royal Lodge in Windsor at the time. <img class=" wp-image-1263120358" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/07/G82YRW-1024x799.jpg" alt="" width="646" height="504" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: PA Images / Alamy]] They still remain close to this day, despite no longer being husband and wife. What's more, they actually still live together. The mom-of-two, who says she is single, told <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/3383935/sarah-ferguson-new-book-royal-romance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a>: "I love romance. I love everything to do with a romantic way of looking at life. "I would say that I have been the luckiest girl alive to have married a prince, and I love my life as it is right now. Who knows what will happen in the future?" She had previously opened up about her own royal experiences to Oprah Winfrey back in 1996, following her divorce from Andrew. <img class=" wp-image-1263120359" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/07/2ERF1GK-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="682" height="455" />[[imagecaption|| Eugenie and Beatrice.

Fergie and Andrew's close bond has been tested in recent years, however, after Andrew was forced to step down from royal duties in 2019 after his BBC Newsnight interview. The prince was probed over his links to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, where he has denied any wrongdoing. But Fergie has made it clear she's sticking by his side. <img class="wp-image-1263120361 " src="https://img.vt.co/2021/07/2A6FNK1-scaled-e1627730137642-1024x657.jpg" alt="" width="656" height="421" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: David Bagnall / Alamy]] The pair became grandparents earlier this year when daughter Eugenie welcomed her first child - a baby boy named August - with husband Jack Brooksbank, 35, in February. What's more, their eldest daughter Beatrice is now expecting her first child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 38. Earlier this week, Fergie opened up about her wedding to Andrew. "He is a great man and [our wedding day] was the best day of my life," the 61-year-old told <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/sarah-ferguson-speaks-duchess-meghan-marry-prince-andrew-79148355" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Good Morning America</a> on Friday, July 30. "I would do it all over again because he was a very good-looking sailor, but I fell in love with him and I think love conquers all." <h6>Featured image credit: Rich Gold / Alamy</h6>
