Fergie's Sweet Birthday Message For Princess Diana Underscores The Tragic State Of Royals Today

Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were friends long before they both married into the royal family, and it’s clear that Ferguson still misses her. She wrote in her birthday post, “I will forever remember our laughter and the kindred, kind spirit I found in you. I am sure you are watching over us always. Rest in peace my friend.”

Comments joined in with similar sentiments about missing Diana. Others noted how glad they were that Ferguson posted about Diana for her birthday. As of this writing, Ferguson appears to be the only royal who has publicly made note of Diana’s birthday. While they haven’t posted on social media about the day (nor do they need to in order to show their feelings), it’s highly probable that both William, Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, are missing their mother on her birthday.

In the past, the brothers have used Diana’s birthday as a brief moment to reunite. On what would have been their mother’s 60th birthday in 2021, William and Harry unveiled a statue of Diana at Kensington Palace. However, that didn’t appear to have done much for a long-term mending of the fences between them. Things only seemed to get worse after Harry’s memoir “Spare” came out in early 2023.
