Fergie & Di

Fergie and Di seemed promising additions to the royal household. Both characters, a unique fit, ready to be moulded into their new roles and the public eye. Diana with her youth and innocence was just 20 years old when she married, a shy young woman with a strong eagerness to please seemingly ready to one day become Queen and mother to an heir and spare. Sarah, in some ways, was the opposite, which was no bad thing. She had a strong head on her, a working career and a no-nonsense attitude. However, in 1992 the monarchy came burning down, in every sense of the phrase. It was a year that three royal marriages collapsed, a fire destroyed more than a hundred rooms in Windsor Castle, and Sarah’s extremely heated scandal spooked Britain and the monarchy. A huge shift in the monarchy was triggered by two young and seemingly harmless outsiders.
