Sarah Ferguson understands she was left off the guest list for King Charles III’s coronation because she gave up her right to attend royal events when she divorced Prince Andrew.
“You can’t have it both ways. You mustn’t sit on the fence. You’re either in or out, but don’t muck around,” the Duchess of York said on “Good Morning Britain” Thursday.
The Duchess of York furthered that she is “not actually” offended by the coronation snub and is enjoying divorced life and building a new career as a writer.
“I am divorced and I’m really loving being divorced to my ex-husband, not from my ex-husband, it’s quite a differentiate, and also getting out there as a new novelist,” the “Her Heart for a Compass” author said.
Ferguson shared that she is still quite close with both Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, and that she will still be celebrating the historical occasion.
“Just because I’m not there on the state occasion…in private I can be there and that’s a lovely feeling to be part of the family. It really is,” she said.
Ferguson praised the King and Queen, saying that they have done an “exceptional job at unifying the family.”
Last Week, Page Six confirmed that Charles did not invite the ex-wife of Prince Andrew to his coronation.
Ferguson had already expressed her suspicions that she would not be welcome at the ceremony, however, she didn’t seem to take offense.
“I personally will be having a little tea room and coronation chicken sandwich and putting out the bunting,” she said on ITV’s “Loose Women” earlier this month.
Ferguson separated from the Duke of York, 63, in 1992 after six years of marriage, and they finalized their divorce four years later.

The exes share two daughters — Princess Beatrice, 34, and Princess Eugenie, 33 — both of whom are expected to attend their uncle’s coronation.
Meanwhile, Page Six also confirmed that the embattled Andrew will be at his brother’s coronation — despite his ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — though it’s unclear if he will have an official role on the big day.
Andrew was notoriously stripped of his royal and military honors in 2022 by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and can no longer use the title His Royal Highness.
He did, however, attend and participate in the funeral for the Queen, who died at the age of 96 on Sept. 8, 2022. Andrew was known to be the late monarch’s “favorite son.”
Page Six also confirmed that Charles’ other siblings, Princess Anne, 72, and Prince Edward, 59, will be at the coronation as well.
Ferguson has been left off the royal invite list in the past and was famously not welcome at 40-year-old Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton, 41, in 2011.
“I didn’t think I was probably worthy to go to their wedding,” she told Town & Country in 2021 of not being invited to the royal wedding. “I took myself to Thailand, actually, to be far away from it so that I could try and heal.”
However, she was extended an invitation to Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018.
Harry, for his part, will be attending his father’s coronation without his 41-year-old wife, who will be staying home in California with their kids: Prince Archie, 3, and Princess Lilibet, 1.
Charles and Camilla will be coronated at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6.
