The two spent a good deal of time together and have remained close throughout their adulthood.
Where did they meet, you might ask?
“Doesn’t everybody?”
Fergie’s mother, Susan, asked the interviewer about where her daughter met the prince.
Fergie’s father played with Prince Philip, Andrew’s father, and was the polo manager forPrince Charles.
Fergie’s mother, Susan, eventually left her husband for an Argentine polo player.
It all comes back to polo.
She had quite the exciting personal life before being linked to Prince Andrew that certainly deserves some attention.
As noted byThe Washington Post,Fergie’s first serious relationship was with a stock broker, Kim Smith-Bingham.
Through that relationship, she met car racing manager Paddy McNally and started her second notable relationship.
The two were together for three years, but Fergie eventually gave him an ultimatum.
He admitted that he never had intentions on marrying her and so they called it quits.
It seems from the account published inThe Washington Postthat Prince Andrew was, in fact, Fergie’s rebound.
Imagine that, getting out of a three-year relationship only to bag a prince.
And from there, it seemed like royal relationships were heading for the worst.
Yikes on yikes on yikes.
Honestly, we wish their bond had been given more time on the screen.
So while we love the drama ofThe Crown,the wedding definitely was a hit in real life.
The decision resulted in a lot of support, especially from the feminist community.
“Toward the end of the pregnancy, when she had gained over 30 lbs.
She shared withThe Guardianthat things did not stay peachy with Philip while she was married to Prince Andrew.
Talk about a blow to your self-confidence.
Princess Margaret did not leave much to interpretation.
“Clearly you have never considered the damage you are causing us all.
How dare you discredit us like this.”
As noted by theBBC,Fergie said, “The Duke of Edinburgh does not need me.
The Prince of Wales does not need me.
They think I’m pointless, therefore why should they make the effort?”
Doesn’t leave a lot of room for interpretation.
“Why now do they have to be so cruel?”
“I really, actually, don’t understand because I adored Charles.”
