Sarah Ferguson Explains Why She and Princess Diana Were Arrested at Her Bachelorette Party and Queen Elizabeth's Reaction
Oh, to be a fly on the wall this evening - According to The Independent, Sarah Ferguson was “arrested” with Princess Diana during the future Duchess of York's bachelorette party, and Queen Elizabeth, whom Ferguson calls “boss” (thankfully) revealed that he was able to see the funny side of this event.
So let's talk about it: Ferguson revealed that he and Princess Diana “almost got arrested for impersonating a policewoman at her ‘hen night’ (slang for a bachelor party),” writes The Independent. Andrew on July 23, 1986 Before her wedding to the prince, Ferguson recalled on the podcast Thornton's White Wine Question Time, “On my hen night, we dressed up as a policewoman and got arrested by the Parks police,” she laughed. 'We were put in the back of a Parks Police van and Diana leaned over and ate his smoky bacon crisp. [In the UK, impersonating a police officer is illegal and, according to a report by the Crown Prosecution Service, carries a maximum sentence of six months' imprisonment and/or a statutory maximum fine,” the Independent reported.
Ferguson said, “I was eventually released, but I was hauled in the next day with her [Diana] before the boss [Queen Elizabeth, my future mother-in-law]. But luckily HM (Her Majesty the Queen) laughed at us.”
Ferguson said that her and Diana's costumes were mistaken for police officers by the staff of a club they visited that night. 'Princess Diana's costume was very nice,' Ferguson said. “When we sat down, the waiter came up to us and said, 'Excuse me, this is a members-only club, it's for fun. This is a members-only club, it's for fun.'
The girls had been friends long before they married into the royal family and became sisters-in-law. Ferguson said that her memories of former British Crown Princess Diana live on in her heart, saying on the podcast that she “loved” Diana. 'She's with me all day long. She and I laughed a lot. We got into trouble a lot. She told me the worst jokes right before I had to get serious.'
She added of her beloved friend. 'We had a wonderful time together.'
