“If today our children are friends that’s because they have it in their blood, it’s like we passed them what we used to feel, our bond, because we were best friends…

“It’s very, very sad she is not among us anymore. Although I feel her presence very close to me every single day. I think she is the best person I’ve ever met.”

Sarah – who has daughters Beatrice and Eugenie with her ex-husband Prince Andrew – also opened up on her love for her girls admitted nothing can compare.

She added: “It’s impossible for me to love my nephews more than my two daughters.

She said: “The most important thing – and I know Diana, if she were here, would say that – is they are happy. And she makes him happy.

“And I love to see that little boy that cried at the funeral to have happiness now.”
