Comparisons to Princess Diana sent Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson into a vicious cycle of binge eating and despair, Fergie has revealed in a painful interview in the Telegraph. The duchess, pegged as the zaftig "naughty" princess, struggled with her public image. A newspaper once labeled her "Princess of Pork." "I was so unhappy I ate all the time, and then I was pilloried for being overweight, and on the cycle went. I didn't know how to break it," she said.
Ferguson married Prince Andrew, who was made Duke of York, in 1986, and the couple later divorced. Diana was not sympathetic to Fergie's plight. Di's place at "the top of the pedestal" was even harder than Ferguson's, Diana once told her sister-in-law. "You are at the bottom, so you can really only go up," the duchess quotes her as saying. Now, as an international spokeswoman for Weightwatchers and founder of charity Children in Crisis, Ferguson is finally happy with her image. (More Sarah Ferguson stories.)
