Ruby Wax’s 1994 Sarah Ferguson Interview Resurfaces, Recalling ‘Terrifying’ First Visit to Buckingham Palace

The upload renews interest in how she framed early royal pressures.

Overview

  • The long-shelved conversation, filmed for Ruby Wax Meets in 1994, has re-emerged after Wax posted it on her YouTube channel, prompting fresh write-ups by UK outlets.
  • Ferguson says walking into Buckingham Palace for the first time was “absolutely terrifying,” describing adrenaline “running overtime.”
  • She recalls rigid royal protocols inside the Palace, including rules on how far windows could be opened to keep lines uniform.
  • Looking back on the period’s tabloid frenzy, she concedes poor judgment in her relationship with American financial manager John Bryan, whose beach photos dominated coverage of her life.
  • She describes experimenting with slimming pills and injections as a teenager in Argentina and remembers nearly drawing a knife on her mother, while recent reports now depict her and Prince Andrew as estranged as they distance themselves from past links to Jeffrey Epstein.
