Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, will be looking forward to her daughter’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
The former-wife of Prince Andrew is said to still live in the Royal Lodge with her ex husband.
However, their divorce in 1996 was said to cause a rift within the Royal Family.
Now a source has claimed, via magazine Vanity Fair, that Princess Eugenie wants her mum to have a big role in her wedding.
They told the publication: “Sarah is being very hands-on, but in a great way, and Eugenie wants her mum to be a big part of it all and will make sure Sarah is included in every aspect.
“Her feeling is the other royals will have to get on with it.”
The also shared the now-divorced couples feelings about their daughters up-coming nuptials.
They said: “Sarah and Andrew are just thrilled Euge is getting married and they are all very much in the planning stages at the moment.”
Princess Eugenie and her fiance Jack Brooksbank, 32, will marry at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
This is the same venue Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan Markle, 37, chose for their wedding in May.
According to reports the Prince Phillip and Sarah Ferguson’s relationship deteriorated after Andrew and the Duchess’s split.
The Prince of Edinburgh has never forgiven the Duchess of York for the series of scandals that she has put the family through since her 1992 affair with a Texan billionaire, some claim.
A source said: “The royal wedding will be difficult for the Duke of Edinburgh because he hates Fergie so much he can’t stand to be in the same place as her.”
However, Sarah Ferguson will be at her daughter’s wedding and its thought she and Andrew will sit together at the event in a show of solidarity.
Sarah Ferguson spoke out about her feelings towards Kate Middleton.
She told interviewers after her wedding in 2011: “What’s interesting is that I would never presume to give Catherine advice because she’s doing so well.
“She looks fabulous, she’s beautiful and fabulous and they look so in love and it’s a great story.”
Sarah was not invited to William and Kate’s wedding.
No official royal statement was released about Sarah’s lack of invite to her nephew’s wedding.
A body language expert recently revealed Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew’s ‘love’ that truly stands out.
