Sarah Ferguson said Queen Elizabeth II was one of the few royals who ‘saw her properly,’ saying the late monarch told her that ‘being yourself is enough’
Sarah Ferguson said Queen Elizabeth II was one of the few people who “saw her properly” and cherished her personality.
Ferguson, 64, said that she’s kept herself buttoned up for most of her life, fearing that people might find any exuberance off-putting. She said that her father told her she was “a bore” and that she worried that she might come across as “too much.” Ferguson said the assurance from Queen Elizabeth, as well as her cancer diagnosis, helped to shake her self-limiting tendencies.
'I think it woke me up,' she told the magazine, “It gave me a swift kick in the butt and told me: 'Right, are you going to start living now, at 64, or are you going to keep on not quite living?' You don't have to be what everyone wants you to be: just be yourself.”
