Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been described as "trailblazers" for their decision to step down from the Royal Family and move to America.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the decision to step down as working royals in January 2020 and now live with their children - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet - in Montecito, California.
Sarah Ferguson has shared her thoughts on the couple's decision and said they are "trailblazers" for sticking to their beliefs.
"The thing is – and I'm really adamant about this – is that anyone that is out there really trailblazing for their own beliefs, and it doesn’t matter where you're from or who you are, you trailblaze for what you believe – that's very brave," the Duchess of York said.
