Sarah Ferguson On Not Being Invited To Royal Wedding: I Felt 'Totally Worthless' (VIDEO)

Sarah Ferguson sat down with Oprah to talk about being excluded from the recent royal wedding.

She remarked, "I went through the phase of feeling so totally worthless and and that [it] was quite right they didn't invite me. Why would they, why would they invite me? I felt that I ostracized myself by my behavior, by my past, by living with all of the regrets of my mistakes that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day, thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake...why have I made so many mistakes."

She added, "It was so difficult because I wanted to be there with my girls and to be getting them dressed and to go as a family. And also, it was so hard because the last bride up that aisle was me....When Andrew went with the girls, we were talking all morning and he was saying, 'It's okay, just remember we had such a good day, our wedding was so perfect,' you know, because we're such a unit together. He made me feel such a part of the day on April 29th."

She said that instead of sticking around London, she went to Thailand, where the jungle "embraced" her.

The full interview is set to air on Wednesday.

Maybe I am somehow out of touch, but why would anyone feel obligated to include their Uncle's ex-wife in their wedding invites?   The woman is no longer a member of the family which is what divorce means.

I don't understand why anyone thinks she should have been invited. If a relative of mine has been divorced for years, I'm not going to invite the ex to my wedding unless I have a personal friendship with that person.

She got her revenge with those horrible outfits her girls wore sitting right behind the Queen and Prince Philip.

What is her real purpose in carrying on this crybaby nonsense.? The wedding is over. Her publicist or Oprah's publicist must be working overtime to keep this nonstory online for so many days in
so many places.

Agreed. If she wanted to keep a 'favorable' relationship with THE FIRM, she shouldn't have been out trying to sell access to her former husband. Truly pathetic.

obama didn't mess the wedding by killing bin laden. He waited

Reportedly, he waited because weather conditions weren't favorable on Sat.

OF..ALL...THINGS....not being invited to the wedding makes her feel worthless? hey, i watched the wedding...i think it was great...but even if i had to miss the coverage, i wouldn't feel worthless. at the end of the day, it's JUST a wedding. one day out of these people's lives.

sheesh. she needs to get her priorities checked.

I think it was about approval and being accepted by upper layer of society in that country. Being snubed was probably noticed by all of the upper crust of England and for that it probably is a slap in the face. After all the bride invited local retail owners where she shops. I think she feels rejected and slighted.

We all have to accept responsibility for our actions. She acknowledges them, but still wishes they were overlooked. This is the stark reality of life.

She is also divorced and should have no expectation of being included unless she had a close personal relationship with the bride and groom outside of her former marriage to an Uncle of the groom.  In-law means related by law and she is no longer related.

Well, Fergie, you do have to face some consequences for your behaviors that are very embarrassing. Sucking toes while married, and with another man, were you topless? Selling favored access to your ex husband? You were right the first time. You made some very bad decisions that affected other people.

Princess Diana said that the royal family saw her as trouble because she criticized them publicly in interviews. She wrote a letter to a friend four years prior to her death saying she thinks they're going to kill her in a car accident. I think Fergie should keep quite if she wants to stay out of trouble.

Is that the right thing to be saying to someone who has just been caught red-handed, on video, influencing peddling. That alone, precluded her from being invited to this wedding, let alone, as someone else commented, the fact that she is divorced. After a woman is divorced, it's not the norm for her to continue to go to his family's events.

Forgive & forget the past.This is absurd. They CHOSE her & she put up with the ridiculous "rif raf,& tried to keep some string to a real life. All this one sided critical bashingis uncalled for.Try yourself going thru a rigamaroe of Overbearing rules & all elese inflicted of insanity on this pretty girl.ENOUGH!

It's astonishing that this woman feels she should have been invited, after the two decades-long embarrassment she's been to the family of her former husband. Behind that convivial self deprecation seems to be a woman with no understanding of her own past behavior.

Yes, she was an embarrassment, but it's possible that seeing Prince William as an adult and getting married was jolting.Prince William was a toddler when he attended her wedding. Ferguson said she knew Princess Diana (William's mother) since she was 14 years old, and that it struck her that they both weren't there on his wedding day. I know if my best friend died and left children behind I would look after them, and beat myself up if I failed them. I bet Prince William would have wanted all the people there that really knew his mother.

She was not "looking after her nephew" all these years; she was looking after herself, and not very well. Same could be said for the maternal uncle, on his third fiance. There was really no one real support system for Diana in her life. It has been reported that she used to go for her bridal gown fittings alone, and she had two sisters, and a mother.

I watched this show on Oprah and came away feeling confident that Ferguson is a phony,
she tried to play the wounded soul. I think the true Ferguson is the one on that hidden
tape where she confidently tells the guy she can deliver access to her ex-husband for
$500,000 pounds. And then she takes the briefcase with money in it and leaves.
This woman is digusting and Oprah has a huge heart and great compassion, and
Oprah helped Ferguson who was desperate for money to make some. And yes,
the interest in her helps Oprah, but I feel that is not why Oprah gave her this show,
it was to help her.

I can understand that the situation with her trying to sell access to Prince Andrew would have led to some awkwardness, but overall they probably should have invited her.

It was a beautiful wedding. A memorable perfect day.

[agness nutter]

I think they probably should have invited her, also. If they'd left everyone off the list who had exhibited reprehensible behaviour in their lives, it would have been a much smaller affair.

I thought it was a shame she was not invited, it didn't seem very big-hearted on such a day. Her family were there, why not her?

Anyway, be that as it may, it was otherwise a glorious occasion and people loved it -- a woman in IKEA the other day asked for my autograph just because I was at school with Kate Middleton!
