When it comes to royal friendships, Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson had one for the books [1]. Though the two were childhood friends [2], their friendship really made headlines when they both married into the royal family [3] and became sisters-in-law. They were often spotted joking around and having fun during official royal events. Although the two, unfortunately, had a falling out prior to Diana's death in 1997 [4], Sarah still holds the the Princess of Wales [5] in the highest regard.
In a rare interview with Daily Mail, the Duchess of York briefly opened up about her friendship with the late royal [6]. While discussing her daughter Princess Eugenie's recent wedding [7] to Jack Brooksbank, she admitted that she was incredibly sad that Diana couldn't be there to celebrate. "I thought of absent friends and family; of Diana — but she's with me all the time," she said, adding that what she misses most is "her tinkling laughter."
"Diana was my best friend and the funniest person I knew," she continued. "She had such timing and wit. It was a total joy to be with her because we just laughed and enjoyed life so much, and I know she would have loved the wedding." Read ahead for some of their sweetest friendship moments.
