Sarah Ferguson, who used to be married to Prince's Harry uncle, Prince Andrew, also expressed her concern for the duchess and revealed:

"I tend not to give advice because it is taken out of context, but I have been in Meghan's shoes, and I still am. There's always a twist of negativity and it just gets so sad and tiring; it's hard and mean."
