Sarah Ferguson's relationship with Prince Andrew "improved with divorce", a royal author exclusively told GB News, as the couple were rumoured to be planning a remarriage.
The Duke and Duchess of York divorced in 1996 after originally tying the knot 10 years earlier.
Despite their divorce, the ex-couple continue to cohabitate in Royal Lodge on the Royal Windsor Estate.
This has prompted many commentators to believe that Andrew and Sarah could remarry in future years.

Marlene Koenig, a royal historian, spoke exclusively to GB News to explain why she does not think this is likely.
She said: “Remarriage would make Sarah a member of the Royal Family, with pressures that have not existed since their divorce.
“I cannot predict, but I would be surprised if they remarried. Their relationship improved with divorce.”
In a 2021 interview with Camilla Tominey, Sarah said: "All I can say is that we’re happy with the way we are right now.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson walked side-by-side at Sandringham in 2023PA"We always say we are the most contented divorced couple in the world.
"We’re divorced to each other, not from each other. We are co-parents who support each other and believe that family is everything.
"I’m proud of the job we have done together in bringing up our children and sustaining a strong family unit. Our bywords are communication, compromise and compassion."
This comes as a source claimed that King Charles could give his blessing for Andrew to remarry Fergie.

Andrew and Sarah could get remarried at The Royal Chapel of All Saints like Princess Beatrice did in 2020

Technically the Duke of York no longer needs the King's permission to marry, as only the first six in line do.
However, His Majesty's endorsement is important to Andrew, according to reports.
The source told The Mail that if a wedding took place, it would occur in the small royal chapel of All Saints, the site of Princess Beatrice's low-key wedding in 2020.
This would be a marked contrast from the Yorks' lavish royal wedding in 1986, which took place in Westminster Abbey.
