Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson\u2019s close friendship fell apart after the latter published a hurtful claim that she caught \u201ca verruca [wart] from borrowing some shoes from Lady Diana\u201d in her 1996 autobiography, \u201cMy Story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, the reality was that Diana was very concerned that Sarah Ferguson might well be selling stories about her, and that relationship was never repaired, though Sarah Ferguson pretended it had,\u201d royal author Andrew Lownie told the Daily Mail in a video published Thursday.<\/p>\n

The late princess and Ferguson \u2014 who were fourth cousins and childhood friends \u2014 were quite close before their falling out. After Diana introduced Ferguson to the former Prince Andrew, the two became sisters-in-law when they married into the royal family. <\/p>\n

Diana tied the knot with the then-Prince Charles in 1981 and Ferguson, now 66, followed shortly after, saying \u201cI do\u201d to Andrew, also 66, in 1992. <\/p>\n

The pair of women became especially close as they bonded over their shared commiseration of the royal family struggles, Lownie claims. <\/p>\n

\u201cDiana would come to Sarah Ferguson every Sunday, and they would moan about the royal family. They both felt very restricted within the confines of the royal family,\u201d he told the outlet. <\/p>\n

Lownie continued: \u201cBut at the same time, there were some concerns Diana had that Fergie perhaps was too boisterous, and she was kind of undermining Diana\u2019s own reputation, and she began to distance herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

At one point, their friendship had even allegedly withstood a \u201ctough trick\u201d on Ferguson from Diana, when the two agreed to divorce their husbands at the same time. <\/p>\n

However, Diana \u201clet Sarah Ferguson do it on her own and basically learned from how the royal family treated Sarah Ferguson about how she would handle the divorce herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Ferguson divorced Andrew in 1992 after a decade of marriage, but the pair continued to live together at Royal Lodge \u2014 all the way until King Charles III evicted them from the royal property in February as a final blow after he stripped Andrew of his royal titles last year.<\/p>\n

Diana, meanwhile, separated from Charles, now 77, in 1992 and eventually divorced him four years later. <\/p>\n
