Sarah, Duchess of York has given a candid interview to Modern Hero – her first US interview in seven years – speaking out about her life, charity work and her close relationships with her family. During the chat, she revealed that she's giving herself a new start in life, having come through years of hardship. "It's taken long, hard knocks, and loads of mistakes [to get to this point]," she said. "And loads of spiritual work to break through my ego – anyway, we're here today… I'm starting my life at 58."
