She also speaks incredibly highly of the Queen, giving a glimpse of her admiration for the monarch in an interview on the Tea with Twiggy podcast last year.
The 62-year-old told the podcast: “I figure, honestly, my mother-in-law was more of a mother to me than my mother. [She’s] never falter.’
Fergie added, “I absolutely adore the incredible way Her Majesty is so modern … and how flexible and how understanding and how forgiving and how generous.”
