Fergie reveals Queen’s tender personal advice before passing
Sarah Ferguson has shared that she is reminded of Queen Elizabeth II’s advice when she walks the late monarch’s infamous corgis.
Sarah, the Duchess of York, 63, appeared on The One Show to promote her latest book, A Most Intriguing Lady, and she has revealed that the dogs make her think about the “values” upheld by her late mother-in-law.
“One thing I really love when I'm with them actually, cause I really think about HM and I just really think about the value system that she supported in this country,” the duchess told presenters Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas.
“And I remember she used to say, "Sarah there needs to be more kindness in the world, which would disarm malice".”
The Duchess feels that everyone should “stop to remember those words with respect and affection for a great leader, who has now passed it to another great leader in her son”.
“It's so funny to say that...straight off the corgis,” she continued. "But when I look at them I think "yes come on”.”
She also mentioned she believes that the late Queen’s message can, and should be followed more broadly across the country.
“And I think - so important - for the whole country to unite and uphold the values that for 72 years the monarch gave us all, really.”
Sarah also admitted to feeling frightened that something could happen to the dogs as she walks them.
“Because they're national treasures I'm terrified when they go out running," she told The One Show. “They chase everything. Straight into tress, bang, like that! I go "no, no, no, the nation loves you, stop, stop, stop chasing the squirrels”.”
