Sarah Ferguson "believes in fairies".
The Duchess of York has revealed she thinks the flying, miniature mythical creatures really exist and she thinks the world is also full of "magic".
Ferguson – the mother of Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, her children with ex-husband Prince Andrew – makes the surprising admission in new book ‘What Makes Me Happy?’
Speaking in the tome, she says: "I do believe in fairies. I do believe in magic and when you blow on a dandelion, you will see the light of the enchanted spreading their wings and disappearing off on their own journeys, just like you have today when you opened your eyes. Don’t let the day go by without looking for fairies and magic. That makes me happy, as every day is, therefore, a day of exploration and adventure."
‘What Makes Me Happy?’ features over 100 famous people revealing what gives them fulfilment in their lives and has been released to raise money for BBC Children In Need. It was compiled by 13-year-old schoolgirl Hanni Blaskey who got the idea while watching a Children in Need documentary about a young girl who had to care for her bed-ridden mother
It is available to buy for £3 from Sainsbury’s and for every copy sold £2 will go to the charity.
Other contributors to the tome include Sir Paul McCartney, who reveals that eating with his grandson makes him happy, Rod Stewart, who says a cup of tea makes him "uncontrollably happy" and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge Len Goodman who insists "eating a bacon sandwich" is his favourite thing.
McCartney said: "I love to hear the noises in the kitchen as the meal is prepared and then my little grandson climbs on my knee and requests a bite for every bite that I take."
