Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, says that being pitted against Princess Diana in the press led to feelings of 'self-hatred.'
Ferguson wasn't the only one who felt the competition between herself and Diana. As reported bythat Ferguson"wooed everybody in this family and did it so well. She left me looking like dirt." She also said that Charles compared her to Ferguson and said,"I wish you would be like Fergie—all jolly."
However, Ferguson has said that she and Diana remained close allies during that time. For example, in her 1996 autobiography,, she wrote that they connected about their desire to leave the royal family—both women separated from their husbands in 1992."We burned the phone wires into the night, trading secrets and jokes that no-one else would understand," she wrote."[B]ecause we were like siblings … we rowed,"in 2007.
