Sarah Ferguson's fairytale marriage to Prince Andrew came to an end in 1996.
The couple announced their amicable split in 1992 and went on to divorce four years later, a decade after they tied the knot in a lavish royal wedding at Westminster Abbey in July 1986.
So why then do former husband and wife continue to live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor?

It’s certainly a unique set-up that has garnered plenty of attention – and even fuelled romance rumours – over the years.
Sarah and Andrew have remained famously close, not least because of their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. They are now also grandparents to two grandchildren – soon to be three.

Speaking about her unusual living arrangements to USA Today, the Duchess said: "Andrew and I, we’re the happiest divorced couple in the world – extraordinary, really, isn't it. We live in the same house, but then, it's a big house, so that’s ok. But I think it's really good that we believe in compromise and communication and compassion. And family."
