Sarah Ferguson opens up about ‘rivalry’ with Princess Diana revealing what REALLY happened - Express

The Duchess of York revealed the way women are compared online reminds her of how she and Diana were presented as "rivals". But Sarah denied claims of competition between the pair, who both married into the royal family. The 59-year-old brought up Diana as she slammed the "sewer" of social media. Writing in Hello, Sarah said: "I rarely if ever go 'below the line' on social media or news websites and read people's comments.  "I know that a lot say nice things, but there's a large minority who seem to think that all the normal rules of society don't apply to the internet. "Take a look at any website, and you'll see extraordinarily abusive comments aimed not only at people in the public eye but also other internet users. "Bullying, sniping, bitching, even the most appalling sexism, racism and homophobia are commonplace – it seems that online, anything goes. "Women, in particular, are constantly pitted against and compared with each other in a way that reminds me of how people tried to portray Diana and me all the time as rivals, which is something neither of us ever really felt." While Sarah acknowledged the internet could be a "force for good", she insisted it is "time to take a stand" against online abuse. The duchess has hundreds of thousands of followers on her Instagram and Twitter pages. Sarah - who is patron of Street Child - regularly posts about her charity work as well as family updates. The duchess's youngest daughter Princess Eugenie also has a public Instagram page, boasting more than 600,000 followers. Eugenie recently shared an adorable throwback picture with Sarah, describing her mother as "cool".  The 28-year-old posted the cute snap of her as a youngster skiing with the duchess. Eugenie is wearing a tiny green ski suit with colourful gloves dangling down as she sits on her mother's shoulders. Sarah donned a glamorous white fur headband as she stepped out on the slopes with a young Eugenie. The duchess's criticism of social media comes as Meghan Markle and the Duchess of Cambridge have faced months of rumours of a royal rift. Let's block ads!
