Sarah Ferguson tells her daughters not to look miserable because “people don’t want to see a grumpy princess”.
The former British royal who is mom to Beatrice and Eugenie opened up to Parade magazine about the advice she gives to her kids about living in the public eye.
“My daughters have already done more than I could ever dream of. They are such strong, kind, respectful, honorable, really dignified, decent human beings. I think the one job I’ve done very well is being a good mom. Both Andrew and I have brought up our children, and we are good co-parents,” she said.
“I always tell them to remember that when you get up in the morning and you’re at home, that’s one thing. But when you’re on the public street, you are fair game. So if you feel in a bad mood, put on that smile, because people don’t want to see a grumpy princess!”
Meanwhile, media mogul Oprah Winfrey has been accused of using Sarah to boost ratings!
Insiders believe Oprah has exploited the red-headed former British royal by making her do her own show, Finding Sarah, on OWN.
“It is one thing for Oprah to offer up Dr. Phil and Suzie Orman to help the Duchess, it’s another to convince her to document the entire journey on camera,” a source toldPopEater.
“You have to wonder who is helping who in this situation. Is Oprah trying to help her network get viewers by exploiting Sarah or is she genuinely trying to get the Duchess help?
“Oprah could have offered all of this in private.
“Is it really going to help Sarah having her entire past dug up again so publicly? No way.”
