The Duchess of York was a vision in pink as she attended the final day of a glitzy film festival in Los Angeles last night.
Sarah Ferguson, 63, attended the Filming Italy Festival shortly after revealing that Meghan Markle clearly makes Prince Harry ‘very happy’ in a candid interview.
She added that Princess Diana would be ‘proud of him and her lovely grandchildren’, saying of Meghan: ‘She really loves him, and I think that’s beautiful.’
In the wide-ranging interview, published by The Telegraph, the Duchess also vowed to ‘always be there’ for her disgraced ex-husband, Prince Andrew.

Sarah, who married Andrew in 1986 before splitting in 1992, last night attended a glamorous film festival in California, where she presented an award with its founder, Tiziana Rocca.
She wore a long, leather-look pink coat for the occasion, paired with wide-legged fuchsia trousers and a chic black blouse.
The mother-of-two wore her auburn locks loose around her shoulders, completing her look with a pair of glittering earrings and pointed-toe black heels.
On Friday, the Duchess said she was grateful to have ‘even a minute’ of the Queen’s time before her death in September last year.
She added that Princess Diana would be ‘proud of him and her lovely grandchildren’, saying of Meghan: ‘She really loves him, and I think that’s beautiful’

She told the newspaper: ‘Because also, during the last three years, her poor son [Andrew] has been going through such a tumultuous time and I think HM was very relieved I could help her with him, so we became even closer then.
‘I’ve always admired and adored her. Really, she was more of a mother to me than my mother.’
Sarah added it was ‘sad; to see what Andrew has been through, when talking about the sexual assault claims against her ex-husband, which led to an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre.
Asked if the Queen was confident she would be there for Andrew after her death, Sarah added: ‘She knew. I will always be there. Always. Because I love her.’

The royal vouched that Her Majesty ‘knew’ Sarah wouldn’t abandon her youngest son, who became embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and paid a multi-million-pound settlement to his sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre. Pictured with the Queen in 1986
Sarah and Andrew’s two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are among the late Queen’s eight grandchildren.
Andrew stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case to a woman he claimed never to have met.
The duke was cast out of the working monarchy and no longer uses his HRH style after Ms Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein, accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17.
The duke denied the claims.
