Sarah Ferguson makes unsubtle royal dig with message written on her SHOES for night out

Sarah Ferguson has been spotted enjoying a night out in London with her daughter Princess Eugenie - and she sent a very defiant message with her shoes.

The pair were snapped leaving Oswalds Private Members Club in London's Mayfair earlier this week.

For the outing, Fergie wore a vibrant red military-style jacket over the top of a simple black dress.

But most eye-catching part of the ensemble were her comfortable, slipper-style navy shoes, which had 'Never Complain' and 'Never Explain' written on them.

The mantra is well-known to be something that the Royal Family has adopted for decades - and something the Queen appears to have lived by during her 70-year reign.

Sarah's night out on Tuesday, where she wore the shoes, was the night before her ex-husband Prince Andrew was stripped of his honorary 'freedom of York' title in the latest blow for him.

A number of the councillors and members of the public who spoke at the meeting at York Racecourse on Wednesday called for either the Queen or the Government to strip Andrew of the title Duke of York, thereby removing what Labour councillor Aisling Musson called: "This stain of an association with this city."

It comes after the Prince earlier this year reached an out of court settlement with his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, in a civil sex claim filed in the US.

Fergie is still very close to Andrew and despite being divorced, she still lives with him at his home Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate.

Sarah once told the Daily Mail: "We're the happiest divorced couple in the world. We're divorced from each other, not from each other."

Last year she also told the Sunday Times : "I travel a lot and I’ve always been able to make wherever I am home. If I am staying in a hotel I have the same family photographs and scented candles around me.

"When I’m in the UK I’m lucky enough to stay at Royal Lodge. I wouldn’t call it my home as that would be presumptuous."

Meanwhile, it is not the first time that Fergie has worn the shoes by Del Toro X Rotten Roach.

In May 2019, she also wore them during a trip to Toronto, where she paid a visit to the Onsite Gallery.
