The Duchess of York said not being invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding was "so difficult" for her to cope with.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Ferguson revealed she spent April 29 in Thailand.

Her ex-husband the Duke of York made her feel part of the occasion by talking to her on the telephone.

Asked how hurt she felt by the snub, the 51-year-old said: "It was so difficult. It was also hard because the last bride up that aisle was me."
