In an interview with People Magazine, she claimed that the key to maintaining a close-knit family unit is “forgiveness”.
“I think family unity is key … I think the key to life is that we all support each other,” she said. “And also forgiveness is a great thing. I think forgiveness of yourself and forgiveness of others.”
She shared the sentiment after being asked about how she has been helping to support Kate Middleton and King Charles in their cancer battles.
In response to Fergie’s remarks, royal expert Tom Quinn suggested to The Mirror that they were a “clear” reference to the ongoing rift in the family.
He went on to add: “But the Duchess has her own well-publicised family difficulties to deal with – she has never stopped trying to persuade the senior royals to rehabilitate her former husband Prince Andrew and when she talked about unity and the need for forgiveness, she no doubt also had her husband in mind.”

Ferguson, who is the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is mother to Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 33, as well as grandmother to Sienna, August and Ernest.
“Becoming a grandmother has really changed my outlook on life,” she recently revealed while in Melbourne at the Global Citizen Summit.
“I have always loved nature and the great outdoors, but now I find myself reflecting on what sort of world we are going to leave to our grandchildren’s generation.
“Let’s be honest, it doesn’t look great, does it? So far, my generation has failed to take the big decisions necessary to safeguard the future of the planet, to the point that scientists are telling us the changes we are seeing to our climate and biodiversity are becoming irreversible.
“I really hope we can take global, concerted action to change things. We have a responsibility to do so. That’s one of the issues I hope to be talking about at the Global Citizen NOW summit in Melbourne.”
“I want to empower girls and women around the world,” Ferguson explained. “The mother-daughter relationship is at the heart of that. In countries where women haven’t been educated, we want them to fight for their daughters to have the chances that they didn’t.
