PHOTO - Prince AndrewPrince Andrew, Duke of York, credits his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, for keeping their two children grounded despite growing up with all the trappings of royalty.

“She’s the one that delivered what I would describe as that grounding and that down-to-earth attitude in the girls,” His Royal Highness told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira during a rare and wide-ranging interview inside Buckingham Palace in London.

“She’s been through marriage to a member of the royal family. And she’s seen both ends. So she knows something that I could never experience, because she’s come into it and gone out of it,” Prince Andrew said. “Now, that experience is probably more valuable to the girls in their grounding than anything that I can give them.”

    I ‘ve been wondering..what exactly is the relationship between Sarah and Andrew? Does anybody have any ideas? After all, several articles suggest that they have feelings for one another.

    The Duke & Duchess of York remain very good friends and co-parents for their children. They dine together very often and travel with each other. But what’s great about their relationship is that they have remained each other’s companion. They never rule out remarring but enjoy their close relationship. Sarah, haven’t attened a royal function sine Prince Andrew was installed in the Order Of the Garter but slowly she is welcomed back to The Firm. The Queen knows that Andrew doesn’t want Sarah out of his life and that the York’s want to remain a close family. It’s the same road that Charles & Diana was taking shortly before her passing.
