Sarah Ferguson has shared the moment she was arrested alongside Princess Diana in 1986, and the late Queen's surprising response. The incident occurred during Sarah's hen night, just a week before her wedding to Prince Andrew.
Speaking on the White Wine Question Time podcast, Ferguson revealed that she and Diana dressed up as policewomen and were arrested by parks police. 'We were put in the back of the parks' police van and Diana then leant and ate his smokey bacon crisps – the man who was driving,' she recalled.
The following day, Ferguson was called to see the Queen. 'Certainly I was hauled in front of the boss the next day,' she said. 'But luckily HM did laugh.' She added that they both flashed their rings to get out of trouble.
Ferguson also paid tribute to Diana on what would have been her 64th birthday, sharing a throwback photo on Instagram. 'Happy birthday to my dear friend, Diana. You were a pillar of light and love,' she wrote.
Despite a falling out in 1996, Ferguson fondly remembers their bond. 'There was nobody like [Diana] in the world,' she said on her Tea Talks podcast. 'She made me laugh more than any other single person I've ever met.'
