“I really miss Diana. I loved her so much. And the saddest thing, in the end, we had not spoken for a year, though I never knew the reason, except that once Diana got something in her head…I tried, wrote letters, thinking whatever happened did not matter, let`s sort it out. And I knew she`d come back. In fact, the day before she died she rang a friend of mine and said, `Where`s that Red? I want to talk to her.“

Sarah Ferguson said that all the stories about the feud of her and Princess Diana were exaggerated in the media.
