Caring Kyle asks Fergie the one question she's never gotten
Sarah Ferguson has spoken candidly about what life has been like in the public eye since Prince Andrew's indiscretions have been made public.
The Duchess of York made her first appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, sharing how she has been keeping silent on the controversy surrounding her ex-husband of 26 years.
In a touching moment, Kyle asked how Fergie was dealing with the media storm around Prince Andrew, in an interview-first for the Duchess.
Kyle began, "I've never heard anyone ask it how you're doing through all this – because you're going through lots of ups and downs a lot of wonderful things with the grandchildren, the career everything.
"But the other side, are you doing all right? Because you're holding someone else's hand, who's holding your hand through all that?"
The Duchess was caught off guard by the kind question, fumbling for words before admitting to the radio host, "You're the first person ever who's asked me, on air, how I am."
"Are you kidding?" asked a shocked Sandilands, "After all these years, no one's asked how you're doing?"
The duchess replied with a simple "No", before quickly moving on.
Fergie went on to share the difficulties of dealing with the media probing into her public life, with Sandilands asking her about rumours that she and Prince Andrew were "scared" to move out of the Royal Lodge in fear that King Charles will kick them out for good.
"It's so hard, and I think Philip Schofield summed it up when he said there is a human being at the end of this, there is a human being and I, and I think it is, it's hard, Kyle and you Jackie, you both know it's hard when...you can't answer," she said.
"You can't say much you just got to get on, and I think the best way to answer any detracting is to be successful."
She went on to say she has learned to be more guarded in her answers in interviews over the years, admitting that she once would've spilled all her secrets.
Fergie mentioned a recent interview with Piers Morgan's wife, Celia Walden, where she asked "so many good questions, which are fantastic. And I said, you know, about 20 years ago, I would have probably jumped in with both feet and gone, 'Yeah, blah, blah, blah'."
"And now, I'm more guarded about my responses and thinking of the ramifications of my actions and she said, 'I wish I could have met you 20 years ago, and then we'd have had really great front pages'."
