Sarah Ferguson has opened up on her close bond with the late Lisa Marie Presley.
Sarah, Duchess of York, 63, has opened up about her family, finding herself and the future of the monarchy following the death of the Queen last year in a new interview – as well as her friendship with the King of Rock n' Roll's daughter.
Fergie gave a eulogy at Lisa's funeral in January this year, following her death at age 54 earlier that month.
In the speech, Sarah revealed how she called her pal 'Sissy' as she paid tribute to her.
Now, the Duchess of York has opened up about her bond with Lisa in a candid interview with OK! magazine.
Revealing how Elvis Presley's only daughter helped her out in a particularly hard time in her life, Sarah revealed: "We met when she was living in the UK with her then-husband [guitarist Michael Lockwood] and we had mutual friends.
"We immediately hit it off and were always there for each other. I remember during one bad time in my life, she sent me an airline ticket and picked me up from the airport and got me away from it all. I still can’t believe we have lost her so young."
Sarah added that she felt honoured to have been asked to speak at Lisa's funeral.
"I was moved and honoured to be asked by her family to speak at the funeral," she said. "We viewed each other as sisters and called each other ‘Sissy’. We really did love each other."
Elsewhere in the chat, she also discussed her bond with the late Queen, who died in September aged 96.
Speaking about her own bond with the Queen, Sarah said her death left her "heartbroken".
She added: "Her Majesty was an incredible head of state, an incredible mother-in-law and an incredible friend.
"For me to be able to call her that was the greatest honour in my life. I used to have to pinch myself when I was sitting with her and asking her advice. Her door always remained open to me and we saw a lot of each other right up to the end, for which I will always be grateful. I miss her more than words can express."
Fergie was tasked with looking after the Queen's corgi's following her death.
Recently, she claimed the pet dogs have stopped grieving their late owner and are now "really happy".
Speaking to Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2, she said: "Their tails have gone up now so I think they’re over their grief."
The duchess has been pampering the pooches, as they sleep in "royal dog beds at night with crowns on them".
She added: "They are so sweet. I think they’ve been trained by her to be so gentle, so when you take a little digestive biscuit and break it like she used to with her little hands… she must’ve put a little biccie in front of them and they gently take it."
