On March 7, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will sit down for an in-depth interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they will discuss everything from the British tabloids’ treatment of Meghan to why they chose to step down from senior roles in the royal family—and whether they blame the high-profile family for how the couple was perceived by the public.

However, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not the only members of the royal family who have resorted to Oprah Winfrey to express their feelings.

Sarah Ferguson, 61, first spoke with her in 1996, following her divorce from husband Prince Andrew.

Ferguson is the mother of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice and was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 to 1996. She spoke out about the “cruelty” she experienced at the hands of the British press, a topic Markle and Prince Harry are all too acquainted with.

“I must explain that the British press at the moment is completely and utterly cruel and abusive and so invasive,” she stated in the interview, according to People, adding, “It is very cruel and very painful when you are going to try and find the feelings within to be on such a public stage.”

The Duchess of York, popularly known as Fergie, spoke about the tremendous expectations that come with being a member of the royal family. “You didn’t marry the fairy tale, you married a man,” she told Winfrey. “And then you have to come to terms with the fairy tale. Now it’s not a fairy tale, it’s real life—well, they think it’s real life over there.”

Fergie mentioned the numerous rules that even stopped her from simply opening the windows in her flat as she desired at Buckingham Palace.

“The palace from when you look at it from the outside, the windows have to be open in only a certain amount so they are all in line,” she explained. “I’d come in and throw open all the windows. And no, that was wrong.”

Another topic of discussion was the British press, which Fergie described as “cruel” and “invasive.”

“I must explain that the British press at the moment is completely and utterly cruel and abusive and so invasive. It is very cruel and very painful when you are going to try and find the feelings within to be on such a public stage,” she said.

When asked why she didn’t just just “play the game,” Fergie said, “You could do that, and if that’s what suits you, then that’s what suits you.”

“But Diana and I are like rivers, we want to learn more, we want to go around the corner, we are hungry for more,” she remarked, alluding to the late Princess Diana, who died in 1997. Diana was separated from Prince Charles at the time of the interview.

Princess Diana, Prince Harry’s mother, spoke with the BBC’s Martin Bashir in 1995. However, Prince Harry’s aunt, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, selected Oprah to talk about all things royal with in 1996, the same year she divorced her husband Prince Andrew.

The Duchess, who also has a YouTube channel where she reads to youngsters, told Oprah that while Buckingham Palace appeared lavish and great to visitors, her cramped living accommodations were anything but.

“It was all burgundy and very dark,” she explained, “And all the lightbulbs were only 30 amps, so it was very dark. I, being the pleaser, didn’t want to change anything “I, being the pleaser, didn’t want to change anything.”

The former Suits actor was shown speaking out against the palace’s grip over her life in promos for Oprah’s interview with Meghan and Harry.

“As an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is different than I think what people expect it to be, it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say yes, I’m ready to talk,” Meghan explained.
