One of the most famous royal divorcees of all time, Sarah Ferguson, 58, was married to the Queen’s son, Prince Andrew for 10 years.
Married in 1986 in a lavish ceremony held at Westminster Abbey, over 100,000 people gathered to watch the new Duke and Duchess of York share that famous kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
The two met when they were both children, but their romance was kindled by the late Princess Diana, who invited Sarah to a Ascot races after-party held at Windsor Castle.
The Prince and Fergie began dating the same week, with the engagement following very soon.
But with 22 years having passed since the couple’s divorce, how much is the Duchess of York worth in her own right?
According to celebrity intelligence website TheRichest.com, flame-haired Fergie is worth around $ 1 million, which is approximately £751,000.
Since her divorce in 1996, the Duchess has kept her name in the public eye, now known as a writer, public speaker, charity patron, brand ambassador and television personality.
Along with holding celebrity status, Sarah has worked with many brands over the years including British fine china and porcelain company, Wedgwood and cosmetics giant, Avon.
Fergie has also held a decade-long endorsement with Weight Watchers, no doubt contributing to her $ 1 million net worth.
The mother-of-two has also written various books including her own 1997 autobiography, My Story and 2011’s Finding Sarah: A Duchess’s Journey to Find Herself in 2011.
She has also hosted radio shows and the 2009 ITV reality show, The Duchess on the Estate. The controversial TV show saw the Duchess journey to a working class estate in Manchester for a fly-on-the-wall documentary. This was followed by another called The Duchess in Hull.
Before meeting Prince Andrew, Fergie worked in a public relations firm based in London, before working for an art gallery and publishing company.
Despite divorcing over 20 years ago, Prince Andrew and Sarah remain on good terms, purchasing a £13 million chalet together in 2015 located in Verbier, Switzerland.
Along with renting her own apartment in the expensive Eaton Square in London, Fergie also resides in the multi-million pound chalet. It was in Verbier that her daughter Princess Eugenie, 28, and her fiancé Jack Brooksbank, 32, met.
Fergie’s other work includes autobiographical books, charity work and radio work.
Despite her high net worth, it was reported by The Sun in April 2016 that Sarah was selling her £150,000 Bentley for just £33,995 as she was “always short of cash”.
The car was a gift from her ex boyfriend, Norwegian business tycoon Geir Frantzen back in 2008.
It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as the Duchess’ youngest daughter is also said to work full-time, holding a director position at Hauser & Wirth, a contemporary art gallery in Mayfair, London.
The 28-year-old Princess Eugenie is marrying her boyfriend of eight years, Jack, at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, in October.
Fergie will once again come face-to-face with the royal family, after Prince Charles was rumoured to have snubbed his former sister-in-law at the Royal Wedding, leaving her off the guest list for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s evening reception.
