The outing comes just days after Fergie’s ex-husbandPrince Andrewreached an out-of-court settlement withVirginia Giuffrein her sexual assault lawsuit against the royal.
“Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre’s charity in support of victims' rights,” the document stated. “Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre’s character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks.”
Prince Andrew, 61, and Fergie, 62, announced their separation in March 1992, officially divorcing four years later — however, theyremained friends and amicable co-parentsto daughtersPrincess BeatriceandPrincess Eugenie.
In 2019, the author ofHer Heart for a Compassopened up about how Prince Andrew’s recent controversies are affecting her family.
“It’s incredibly difficult,” she said in an interview withVogue Arabia.
“When I talk about Prince Andrew, I talk about family because the last six months have been hard on the girls and me,” the Duchess of York said elsewhere in the interview. “To see such a wonderful man go through such enormous pain.”
Fergie continued: “He is the best man I know. It’s just incredible what he has done for Britain, and it’s all nonsense, so I talk about familyhood, and I’m very strong about it. The mental health of men is important, and I think it is vital to articulate that more.”
