Sarah Ferguson cuts disgraced Prince Andrew out of her wedding day picture as fresh humiliation hits

The interview made headlines around the world because Andrew discussed his friendship with the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Shortly afterwards, the duke was forced to step down from royal duties and largely retreat from public life.

The Duchess of York, 64, took to social media today with a message honouring her late mother, but chose some interesting photographs to accompany the post.

The first picture on Sarah's post was from her wedding day to Prince Andrew in 1986, however, the duchess had deliberately cropped the duke out of the photograph.

Instead, it just showed Fergie and her late parents, Susan Barrantes and Ronald Ferguson.

The caption read: "My much-loved mother Susie died 26 years ago today.

A post shared by Sarah Ferguson (Fergie) (@sarahferguson15)

"She was far too young to be taken from us and I often reflect on the fact that at just 61, she was younger than I am now when she died in a cruel accident.

"I think constantly of her zest for life and her shining spirit.

"Like all of us, she made mistakes but she taught me to value each and every day and to always seek to treat people with kindness.

"I miss her greatly."
