Following a controversial life after her divorce to the Duke of York - particularly her well-publicized money problems - now that things are looking bad for the father of her daughters in the press, Sarah Ferguson's Prince Andrew remarks are steady: she's standing by her former husband.
As news of the Virginia Roberts scandal broke out in the United Kingdom, the man who is often considered among the most quiet in the British crown has the eyes of the world on him; but his former wife, beloved figure Sarah Ferguson, is Prince Andrew's avid supporter in this entire ordeal.
After getting permission from Queen Elizabeth II (the monarch must officially allow her children to marry, under British legislation) Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew married on July 23 1986 in Westminster Abbey, in a wedding that became an international event - though not nearly as big as his brother Charles' wedding to Diana of Wales. Together, the Duke and Duchess of York had two children, Beatrice and Eugenie, Prince William and Prince Harry's first cousins and respectively the sixth and seventh in line to the throne of England.
Following her divorce from the Duke of York, Ferguson has remained in the British spotlight, becoming a writer, charity patron, television personality and even film producer.
However, she's not about to forget to stand by the father of her daughters. According to CNN, the recent Sarah Ferguson Prince Andrew comments have made it clear that the Duchess of York stands by her former husband, calling him "the greatest man there is."
Recently, as news of the Virginia Roberts sexual allegations broke out, Ferguson told The Daily Mail that the York family is and had always been "a tight unit," as she defended the Duke of York - however, her opinion on the case might be biased in another way besides him being the father of her children: Jeffrey Epstein, the man who Roberts claims was a sex slave to, gave Fergie £15,000 to help her out of debt, back in 2010.
Sarah Ferguson's Prince Andrew statement emerged as she was vacationing in a Swiss ski chalet, according to The Mirror.
