  • Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, has fond memories of her time with Princess Diana, the former wife of King Charles who died in 1997.
  • "We were like sisters," said "Fergie" three years ago in an interview with the Italian daily newspaper "Corriere della Sera".
  • Lady Diana would have celebrated her 63rd birthday yesterday, July 1. Ferguson now remembers her "dear friend" once again on Instagram.

Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were sisters-in-law - but were they also friends?

The marriage of Diana and Charles, Queen Elizabeth's eldest son, lasted from 1981 to 1996, while Sarah was married to Andrew, her second eldest son, from 1986 to 1996.

It is said that the relationship between the two women, who had known each other since their youth, was close, but also occasionally characterized by rivalry.

Sarah Ferguson finds moving words on Instagram

Lady Diana would have celebrated her 63rd birthday yesterday, July 1. Sarah Ferguson remembers the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry on Instagram.

The 64-year-old Ferguson opens her moving post with the words "Happy birthday to my dear friend Diana".

"You were a pillar of light and love. And what a legacy you've left behind."

To accompany the text, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, posts a picture of the two women looking up at the sky together.

"I will always remember our laughter and the kindred, gracious spirit I found in you," Sarah Ferguson continues.

"I'm sure you'll always be watching over us. Rest in peace, my friend."

Queen Camilla is probably "not amused"

On August 31, 1997, shortly after midnight, the car in which Lady Diana and her then companion Dody Al-Fayed were sitting crashed into the 13th bridge pillar in the Pont d'Alma tunnel.

Rushed by paparazzi, the driver - drunk and under the influence of drugs - lost control of the car

While many royal fans are touched by Sarah Ferguson's post, Queen Camilla will probably be "not amused" by the declaration of love.

After all, it once again draws attention to the late Princess Diana.

And as if that wasn't enough, you will search in vain for kind words about Queen Camilla on Ferguson's Instagram account. She only found a few kind words at the coronation of King Charles and his wife.
