Princess Diananever got to meet the women her sons married, but someone who knew the late royal best knows she would be nothing but proud of their work.
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York,appeared onGood Morning BritainWednesday, where she said Diana would have “loved every moment” of sonsPrince WilliamandPrince Harry‘s weddings.
“She’d really just be so proud,” Fergie, as she is affectionately known, said. “Even before they got married, Diana would have been literally going, ‘I can’t believe these boys have done so well.’ They are such a credit to her.”
“I honestly think she would be so proud of the wonderful Meghan and Catherine as well,” she said. “She’d want to embrace them and say, ‘You’re doing well.'”

Although Fergie was not invited to William and Kate’s nuptials in 2011 (instead, shespent the weekend at a spa in Thailand), she was there when Harry and Meghan tied the knot in May, althoughshe arrived separately from her family.
Harry’s wedding is not a state occasion, and he is not under the same sort of pressure his brother and sister-in-law were in terms of the guest list. Despite this, Buckingham Palacewas reportedly pushingHarry not to invite Fergie — but Harry pushed back.

“It was very kind of them, and I can’t thank them enough for doing that because it was nerve-wrecking,” she explained.
Fergie arrived to cheers from the crowd, which was a bit of a surprise to her.
“It was quite extraordinary. I sort of looked around like, ‘Are they doing that for me?’ Then someone went ‘Fergie,’ and it was the old Fergie back,” she recalled. “I felt that sense of support from the crowd, which was very kind.”
Fergie also hinted thatQueen Elizabethherself had something to do with her making the guest list.
