Famously,Ferguson formed a tight bond with Princess Diana.
… She was my best friend then and still is now," she informedThe Telegraphin 2021.
Given Ferguson’s solidarity with Diana, it’s remarkable that she and Queen Camilla ever became friends.

Ferguson also alluded to the common ground she found with Camilla.
After her parents separated, Ferguson’s relationship with her mom, Susan Barrantes, became strained.
However, decades after Barrantes died, Ferguson was able to work through past pain and reforge their connection.

Midway through the 2010s, Camilla was reportedly working behind the scenes to include Ferguson in royal events.
Over the decades, Ferguson has consistently praised Camilla for her outstanding kindness, while pledging to reciprocate.
“I admire the extraordinary support she’s giving this country.
I want to do as much for the queen as possible,” the duchess affirmed toThe Timesin 2024.
