Fergie's ex-approval

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, says she married the "best-looking prince of all".

The 47-year-old royal described her 1986 wedding to Britain's Prince Andrew - who she divorced in 1996 - as the "happiest day of my life".

She told Canada's Toronto Sun newspaper: "I married the best prince of all, the best-looking, that's for sure.

"I went to my wedding in a glass coach with six white horses. It was such a great day, it was the happiest day of my life."

Despite still being very close to Andrew - the father of her two children, Princess' Beatrice, 18, and Eugenie, 17 - she made clear that the couple had no plans to rekindle their romance.

She said: "He may be my ex-husband but he's still the finest man there is and the finest gentleman. Because we're divorced, everybody thinks you have to be at each other's throats. Well, news alert. You don't. In our case, it was more circumstances that split us up rather than the heart hurting.

"So then you're saying, 'Why aren't we back together' and my answer would be because we're happy the way things are."

Sarah also dismissed reports she had called her former-mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth "terrifying" while presenting US TV show 'The View' this week.

She explained: "No, no, what I said was the woman is such an incredible woman, you're in such awe of an icon like that that even now to this day I still get gravel fever, which is when you want the gravel to be quiet because I still get very nervous before I go to see her."
