He’s by best friend and the father of my children. He’s a great ex.
As long as it is hot, wet and goes down the right way, its fine with me.
Whenever I meet people for the first time, I assume that they have a great story to tell and that it’s my job to find it.
I left my marriage knowing I’d have to work. I have.
I didn’t want a divorce but had to because of circumstance.
Humility comes from understanding that the obstacles in front of you are not going to go away.
When Andrew went with the girls, we were talking all morning and he was saying, ‘It’s okay. Just remember we had such a good day. Our wedding was so perfect.’ Because we’re such a unit together. He made me feel very part of the day on April the 29th.

There are today many institutions, taken for granted as pillars of the establishment, which owe their existence, or their appearance, in part to Albert. He is regarded as the architect of the modern monarchy; and when his great-great granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, waves to people from Buckingham Palace, she does so standing on the balcony which was Albert’s idea.
More than husband and consort, Albert was everything to Victoria, and Osborne was unthinkable without him.
He was always teaching, moulding her, encouraging her to curb her temper; in many ways he was as much a father figure to her as he was her husband; she in turn admired his knowledge and teaching, as she did everything about him.
Both the Queen and Prince Albert seemed to have spent far more time with their children, than one usually associates with Victorian life. They ate together, and walked, rode, played and painted together. And the fond parents were often present at bath time and in the nurseries that Prince Albert had designed close at hand.
