Sarah Ferguson was 'grateful' to be part of the Royal Family's Christmas getaway at Sandringham as she joined other senior members of the Firm for the first time in 30 years outside St Mary Magdalene Church on Christmas Day.
She had not been seen with the royals at their Norfolk residence since she divorced Prince Andrew in 1996 but over the festive period she made a reappearance.
And now it's been claimed by a royal expert that it was in fact the late Queen Elizabeth who welcomed Fergie back in the royal fold because she 'loved being around her'.
Angela Levin, Prince Harry's former biographer, spoke out this week on the subject after rumours swirled that Fergie and ex husband Prince Andrew are set to get back together.
Reports over the past week have suggested the former married couple, who famously stayed close despite their split, have rekindled their love and could even tie the knot again.
Speaking on GB News, the author said this week: “I think a lot of it is since Prince Philip passed away, who couldn’t bear her and didn’t allow her to come to Sandringham in 20-something years.
“So when he died, The Queen started getting much more friendly with her. She always liked her because she made her laugh and she’s so bubbly and alive. I think the big change is the cancer she had.
“You can keep separate, and you want to go your own way but if you are a loving couple, and they still love each other, you start rethinking. She was obviously very ill. Her operation was 10 hours long and she came back to live in The Lodge to have nursing help.
“I think you feel how much you want that person. I think that’s changed things. I think another thing is that both her children have got their own children and she has been a very good mother.
