Britain's Sarah Ferguson has praised her ex-husband, Prince Andrew.
The Duchess of York played down her status during a talk at the Halifax Metro Centre in Canada on Tuesday (16.09.08) when she paid Andrew - who she divorced in 1996 after ten years of marriage - a compliment.
She said: "I'm just Sarah, I am Fergie, I am red headed, and I married the queen's best-looking son."
When asked what her job is, the duchess - who has two daughters with Andrew, Princesses Beatrice, 20, and Eugenie, 18 - replied: "I am a mom."
She didn't love herself. She gave out. She was a great lady.
Sarah also talked about her hurt at being branded ‘The Duchess of Pork' when she put on weight - and how she resolved not to listen to her detractors 10 years later after learning the journalist who came up with the nickname had considered it a joke.
She told the crowd of 600 people: "For 10 years, I had beaten myself up, and he has been the cause of my demise, and I have completely sabotaged my entire life, because I believed I was this revolting person. It was just a joke.
"I realised then and there that you just can't believe your critics. You've got to stand firm for who you are."
