Sarah Ferguson passes "absolutely no judgement" on other people's lives as she discussed her nephew Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.
The Duchess of York, also called Fergie, related to the couple on their decision to move to the US and publicly share chosen parts of their lives.
Sarah was previously married to Prince Andrew and divorced him in 1996 before going to America, giving an interview with Oprah Winfrey and becoming the spokesperson of Weight Watchers.
Meghan and Prince Harry followed a similar path when they quit as senior working royals and moved to the US.
They gave a bombshell interview to Oprah in 2021 and released a Netflix docuseries called Harry & Meghan in December last year.
Harry also published a memoir titled Spare, where he discussed finding love with Meghan as well as his struggles with his family.
Fergie compared their moves to her own life and admitted that royal life was "not a fairytale".
She told the PA news agency: "I divorced, went to America, wrote a book, went on Oprah and did 12 years as the longest-running spokesperson of Weight Watchers.
"I looked to America to support me and to help me and I really can’t thank the American people enough for what they gave me and what they did for me.
"So, I believe very strongly that I have absolutely no judgment on any other person’s life, and I look at how much she (Meghan) loves him (Harry) and loves the children and gives him a love that he’s never had before.
"That’s how I look at it."
Fergie previously offered advice to the couple - who share two children together - and said "forgiveness is key".
She spoke at an event for her new romance novel and was questioned about the Royal Family.
At the event to promote the book A Most Intriguing Lady, Fergie was asked what advice she would give the couple as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales on having a public marriage.
And she said: "I think the best way to answer that is to really take hold and lead by example. I wouldn't give advice, I would say that your actions speak louder than words."
