Sarah Ferguson sought out a ‘dog whisperer’ to ask about how the late Queen’s corgis were ‘grieving’ their loss.
In a candid interview on Loose Women today, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife spoke about caring for the dogs after the monarch had passed.
‘I went to a dog whisperer and said, “Now tell me about grief”,’ the 63-year-old said. ‘And he said, “Just at night just make sure they have their own space”.
‘Yeah, so I do. Because I think they were grieving… their little tails went down. And I wanted to make them have waggy tails.’
The mother of Princess Beatrice and Eugenie also revealed her grandchildren’s adorable nickname for her – and gushed that she adores being a grandmother.

Princess Beatrice has a daughter, Sienna, two, and a stepson Wolfie while Princess Eugenie has a two-year-old son, August.
The Duchess of York said: ‘It really annoys me though, is that “oh you’re a granny now, you’re a mummy now”.
‘I say, no I’m a woman, I’m strong, I’ve got a voice and I’m an author. I’m starting a new job – and also I am a new grandma and I am a mum.
‘But actually they call me Gigi… like the film.’
Sarah, who is commonly affectionally called ‘Fergie’ also shared an Easter basket, adorned with bells and other trinkets, which she says signal to her grandchildren that she has arrived.
‘They hear me coming,’ she said. ‘”Gigi coming, Gigi coming”.’
During the interview Sarah also once again reiterated the sentiment that ‘you can’t have it both ways’ when you leave the Royal Family in what appeared to be a thinly-veiled attack at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
