Britain's Sarah Ferguson thinks her and ex-husband Prince Andrew could be the "happiest divorced couple in the world".

The Duchess of York, who has two children with Andrew, Beatrice, 26, and Eugenie, 24, divorced the 54-year-old royal in 1996 after ten years of marriage but insists they have remained "loyal" to each other.

Talking about recent rumours they could be set to re-marry, Sarah said: "I think the rumours have been there for 20 years. We live in a world where everybody believes in fairytales and they need the inspiration of fairytales.

"I believe this modern-day fairytale at this moment is in the most perfect place because Prince Andrew and I have two of the most outstanding girls, we communicate better than ever and we show great respect and loyalty to each other."

She added to HELLO! Magazine: "So, therefore, I think that we are in the right place right now."

The 54-year-old royal was reportedly reluctant to split from Andrew but said they have remained loyal to each other "through thick and thin".

She continued: "From the day we got married to now, we've always upheld the same belief in each other. We are trailblazing on being the happiest divorced couple in the world. It is unusual, but we are unusual."

Sarah is currently single, while Andrew has been linked to George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, model Monika Jakisic, but the duchess isn't desperate to find a partner.

She added: "I can't really answer questions about the future because I live so much in the present, for the excitement of today."
