Sarah Fergusonhas taken a strong liking to the Duke and Duchess of Hastings!
The Duchess of York revealed that she “adored” watchingBridgerton, Netflix’s new eight-part period piece, and felt a special connection to the Shonda Rhimes-produced series.
“I adored Bridgerton so much that I watched it twice, deliberately. I’m obsessed with it,” Ferguson, 61, toldUs Weekly.
The royal, whose latest novelHer Heart For a Compasswill hit bookshelves this summer, explained that she loved watching the main character Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) as “we see her learning about life.”

“I love the way she learns to use her strong voice. It chimed with me because now is the time for women to speak up,” Ferguson added.
Not only did Ferguson enjoy watching the characters, but she said the “costumes and set designs were incredible too.”

She continued: “The book refers to journeys Lady Margaret makes to Ireland and America, which in fact reflects my own personal journeys.”
