Sarah Ferguson Says Queen Elizabeth's Ghosts Visits Her Corgis

After Queen Elizabeth passed away, her son, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, adopted the late monarch's corgis, Muick and Sandy.

"The corgis are very nice and very polite and well trained. I am their favourite but everybody always says it’s just because I feed them gravy bones. I love everything about them and I spoil them the most," Fergie recently told Hello! Magazine

In another interview with People, the Duchess of York revealed that she thinks Queen Elizabeth's ghost is visiting her dogs. "They are national icons, so every time they run chasing a squirrel, I panic. But they're total joys, and I always think that when they bark at nothing, and there's no squirrels in sight, I believe it's because the Queen is passing by," she said.

Fergie added, "They're with me a lot, and they think I'm very funny."

She is currently promoting her newest historical novel, A Most Intriguing Lady, about a Duke's daughter who moonlights as an amateur sleuth. Writing, she said, has given her a new self-confidence. "I think that gaining confidence in writing has given me something that's my own. It is not the Duchess, it is not Fergie, it is not Diana's best friend. It is not the Queen's daughter-in-law. It is Sarah."

Despite the fact they divorced in 1997, Fergie and Prince Andrew currently live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor with the dogs—though that may change soon, as reports are surfacing surrounding Prince Andrew moving to Frogmore Cottage.

Fergie declined to comment on these rumors, simply stating, "This really a matter for the Duke and His Majesty. All I will say is that for many years now – it started with Budgie the Little Helicopter – I've really pushed to look after my girls and to contribute to the York family life. Recently they [the newspapers] have been saying that it’s unfair of Andrew to ask this or to ask that. Well, since he stepped back [from royal duties] he doesn't actually take taxpayers' money. And I'm in a position where I can support him and the rest of the family through my work. And I’m really pleased and proud to do that."
