Sarah Ferguson drops a hint about her love life in new podcast

Sarah Ferguson has revealed on the first episode of her new podcast that she “doesn’t have a boyfriend” but would like one.

The Duchess of York, 63, made an Instagram post on May 15 confirming that the first episode of Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah would be released days later.

She explained it’s a “new weekly podcast about the ups and downs of everyday life” in which she’ll be “tackling some of the biggest and weirdest stories from around the world.”

Speaking on the first episode of the show, which was released today, Fergie revealed she is “very shy” and said she trusts “too much” and “too many people”.

While her co-host Sarah Jane Thomson elsewhere teased that she wanted to know more about her, the king said, ‘Do I have a boyfriend?’ NO.’

Sarah Ferguson, 63, has revealed on the first episode of her new podcast that she “doesn’t have a boyfriend” but would like one (pictured with her ex-husband Prince Andrew).

And after her co-host asked, “Do you want one?” Fergie replied, “Yes.”

Her comments follow years of rumors that she would one day marry Prince Andrew.

Their unconventional relationship has since blossomed into what Sarah describes as “the happiest divorced couple we know,” with the pair seemingly spending more time together than in the decade they were actually married (when Andrew was often in the naval service).

They still share a home together and live at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, the ten-bedroom former residence of the Queen Mother, although this cozy arrangement could soon come to an end as part of King Charles’ planned remodeling of the royal residences.

And the couple regularly holiday together with their daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, leading to sporadic speculation that given the fact that neither Sarah nor Andrew later found love, there’s always a chance they’ll remarry one day.

These rumors received even more impetus after the death of Andrew’s irascible father Prince Philip, who in his later years refused to even be in the same room with Sarah.

When Sarah was asked head-on on ITV’s Loose Women program about the likelihood of a rekindling of romance, she brushed the subject aside. “Oh my god,” she replied to the show’s hosts, “You’re all fairytales, you all have your wands out.” “Andrew and I stand firm, we were parents together in the past and now we’re grandparents together.”

A former courtier who has known Andrew for three decades observes, “Their romance isn’t a big, passionate romance – they have separate bedrooms at the Royal Lodge – but it’s more about the deepest form of friendship.” It’s a very unusual one Relationship for a divorced couple, especially on the outside, but they are totally devoted and would defend each other to the death.’

In the first episode of the show, which was released today, Fergie revealed she is “very shy” and said she trusts “too much” and “too many people” (pictured with her co-host Sarah Jane Thomson).

In another recent interview, Sarah described her relationship with Andrew as an achievement of which she is proud. “We are divorced from each other, not from each other.” We are co-parents who support each other and believe that family is everything. I am proud of the work we have done together in raising our children and maintaining a strong family unit. “Our watchwords are communication, compromise and compassion.”

It’s an unorthodox arrangement, about which royal author Penny Junor remarks, “It seems completely bizarre, and who knows what their relationship is really like.” Not only does Sarah stand silently by his side, she actually speaks out for him .”

Elsewhere on today’s podcast, Fergie insisted she was “actually very shy,” saying, “I play small to make myself really small to get out of everyone’s way.”

“I’m afraid if I stick my head over the parapet I’ll be gunned down in flames.”

“I come from a very stricken country.”

The Duchess said that while she can come across as a “very brave socialite … the reality is I’m deeply sensitive and terribly stubborn, and I’m very shy, which people don’t know.”

She said she comes from an “incredibly brave” place, adding, “I’ve been on the treadmill since I was 12.”

She later said, “I need a little more left brain to become a little more business savvy.”

Far from being the first royal to start a podcast, Fergie has her own audio platform alongside the likes of Mike Tindall, Princess Eugenie and the Duchess of Sussex

“Maybe I trust far too much and too many people.”

Meanwhile, she also revealed how she confronts people who try to photograph her unnoticed.

She was describing an encounter in the security line at Heathrow’s Terminal 4 during a recent trip to Croatia, when she said fellow passengers “surreptitiously” had their cameras out.

She said, “So then I’ll go upstairs and say, ‘Would you like a selfie?'” and they’re like, “No, no, I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

“And then you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, how can I assume you want a photo,’ when they did want a photo.”

In a post shared to Instagram on May 15 announcing the news on her podcast, Fergie wrote, “Longtime friends and tea fans, author Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and Sarah Jane Thomson, entrepreneur and founder of First News , will make new friends.” Get to the bottom of the week’s talking points while enjoying a soothing cup of tea.

“They learn about themselves and each other and tell some of the biggest and strangest stories from around the world.”

“No subject is off the table.” No biscuit goes undipped.’

She then shared the hashtag #SpillTheTea in the post.

Fergie is far from the first royal to start a podcast, having her own audio platform alongside Mike Tindall, Princess Eugenie and the Duchess of Sussex.

While Princess Eugenie tends to focus her production solely on her anti-slavery charity, both Mike and Meghan have used their platforms to share deeply personal stories about their time in the royal family.

During the 2020 podcast he co-hosted, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, Mike even revealed he’s expecting a third child with his wife Zara.

Meanwhile, in late 2020, Meghan and Fergie’s nephew Prince Harry signed a lucrative deal with the audio streaming giant to host and produce podcasts, estimated to be worth around £18million.

So far, however, they had only released one series – ‘Meghan’s Archetypes’, in which the Queen spoke to historians, experts and women who had had the experience of being typecast.

And while Meghan’s podcast deal may be worth millions, it’s unknown what kind of financial deal Fergie agreed to.

The red-haired queen has complained of financial difficulties in recent years, describing herself as “constantly on the brink of financial bankruptcy” in a 2010 US television interview.

The podcast is just the latest of Fergie’s business ventures. The King recently launched a career as a romance writer for Mills & Boon, promoting a new work entitled A Most Intriguing Lady.

Sarah has had a varied career as an entrepreneur and has been a children’s book author, film producer and romance novelist.

She’s even sold blenders on TV and has been a Weight Watchers ambassador.

Earlier this year, the Duchess opened a digital art gallery in which her own spoken poetry is overlaid with a visual interpretation of other artists’ verses.

It comes amid a busy period for Sarah, who was filmed boarding a boat in Venice this weekend after appearing at the wedding of Formula 1 billionaire Serb Chloe Stroll and Olympian Scotty James.
