Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, faithfully served Queen Elizabeth II until her majesty’s dying day. Following the queen’s death in September, the duchess said she now feels “liberated” and “free to be myself.”
“I am growing much more in my own voice now. I think also the queen dying has sort of liberated me a bit. My sense of purpose has always been, for 62 years, 63 years, to be very loyal and to uphold Her Majesty’s values,” she said. “She was more a mother to me than my own mother, really, and therefore now she’s not there anymore.”
