Sarah Ferguson disclosed her love for Liam Neeson in a new interview, as she made rare remarks about being single.
The Duchess of York, 63, married Prince Andrew in 1986 and divorced in 1992 after having two children, Princess Eugenie, 33, and Princess Beatrice, 34.
As she pushed her second Mills & Boon novel, A Most Intriguing Lady, the published author of some 20-odd books disclosed she was eager to go out on the town in search of a new partner now that she was unmarried.
When host Rylan Clark, 34, asked her on his BBC Radio 2 show when they were going to go on ‘the pull’, the Royal replied: ‘Rylan, what I like about this is imagine two single ladies walking in, right?
‘And (the men) will come over to me and think, “Oh, that’s safe” and then they’ll come over because they long to meet you and they get me.’
Rylan joked: ‘Between the two of us, we could probably take on the world.’
Sarah added: ‘Yeah… that’s right. But we need to get the age group right so maybe father and son.’
She then disclosed her understandable crush on 70-year-old Schindler’s List star Liam, prompting Sarah to wonder, ‘What about Liam Neeson, is he single?’
The Irish Taken actor, who died in a snowboarding accident in 2009 with his actress wife Natasha Richardson, 45, is presently believed to be single after a romance with publicist Freya St Johnston, 49, concluded in 2012.
Rylan, who divorced Dan Neal, 43, in 2021 after a six-year marriage, replied, ‘I don’t know if he is actually. He might be. You like a bit of Liam Neeson? I can put in a call.’
Sarah also told Rylan that she thinks the Queen’s corgis Sandy and Muick, whom she has been caring for since Elizabeth died aged 96 on September 8 at her Balmoral estate, are “over their grief.”
She recently told People magazine that she believed the canines were barking at the spirit of the late monarch.
But Sarah told Rylan: ‘They’re great, they’re really happy, and their tails have gone up now, so I think they are over their grief.’
The dogs were relocated to Royal Lodge, Sarah’s house in Windsor that she still occupies with her ex-husband Andrew.
‘I think they’ve been trained by (the Queen) to be so gentle.,’ Sarah remarked of the dogs.
‘When you take a little digestive biscuit and break like she used to with her little hands… she must have put a little biccie in front of them, and they gently take it.’
Sarah previously told People magazine about the dogs, which were originally given to the Queen as a present from her, Andrew and their daughters: ‘I always think that when they bark at nothing, and there’s no squirrels in sight, I believe it’s because the Queen is passing by.’
