Sarah Ferguson has opened up about not being invited to the coronation of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla. 

Last week, the Duchess of York revealed she did not receive an invitation to the crown of His Majesty, due to take place in Westminster Abbey on May 6th. 

Fergie is not among the 2,000 people expected to attend, despite knowing the king since she was a child. 

Instead, she is expected to watch the event on TV at Royal Lodge, which she shares with disgraced ex Prince Andrew.

Speaking candidly on Good Morning Britain, Fergie shared the exact reasoning she wasn’t invited. 

She said, “I‘m not invited because it’s a state occasion. Being divorced you can’t have it both ways.”

“I am enjoying being divorced to my husband – not from my husband.”

“I am close with King Charles and Camilla. The great thing at this moment is the unity of family.”

“In private I can be there. It‘s a great feeling to be part of the family.”

Earlier this month, she told ITV1’s Loose Women she always planned to watch the Coronation on TV.

She said, “I will be having a little tea room and putting out the bunting. I love to watch it on the telly because the commentators are always good.”

Despite not being invited to the ceremony, the Duchess will have a seat on the East Lawn of Windsor Castle 24 hours after the ceremony.

She will be joined at the bash by other royals believed to include daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, plus 20,000 lucky ticket holders.
