It was an unforgettable night for Sarah Ferguson. And there are several reasons that led the redhead Fergie to remember a special evening – her bachelorette party – in a recent interview on a popular American television program. He celebrated the occasion with Diana, his friend since adolescence and distant relative, in pure carnival style. The future sisters-in-law disguised themselves as policemen, took to the streets of London and ended the revelry by being stopped in a police van. "We were arrested," Fergie confesses to the Kelly Clarkson Show star.

In the program of the famous singer, the Duchess of York recalls scenes of the "extraordinary" farra with Lady Di, on the eve of her wedding to Prince Andrew, in 1986. Both wore London police uniforms, with the characteristic plaid scarf, and decided to have a drink in a discotheque. "We sat down, the waiter came and said, 'I'm sorry, but this in a members-only club. Here they come to have fun and we do not serve police officers, "he says.

The presenter did not believe the story and asked surprised: "Was it believed that you were really police officers?" "Yes," Vegie replies, after commenting that the costume suited the future king's then-wife very well. A segment of the show shows a period photograph that apparently shows the two friends in costume, with cocktails on the table. Diana wears glasses and smiles.

The two women went out again to the street and, in an apparent altercation around their peculiar wardrobe, were arrested and taken to the police van. In this, according to the Duchess, Diana saw a "package of bacon-flavored chips" and did not cut a hair despite the stern look of the law enforcement officer. "Start taking potatoes out of the bag and eating them. The policeman jumped out: no, you can't do that.' But he did it," says the now writer of novels and children's stories.

Before entering the vehicle they had time to turn their respective wedding bands around, but the disguise soon fell under the weight of reality. An agent recognized the future princess of the people and both regained their freedom.

Reports from the time suggest that the farewell party continued at another club in the Mayfair neighborhood. The women – or chickens, according to the slang of this type of revelry – apparently mounted a certain noise at the gate of Buckingham Palace, which mobilized the police protection brigade.

Sarah Ferguson is promoting the publication of her latest novel, A Most Intriguing Lady, and the tour landed on Kelly Clarkson's show. In interventions in other media, he recalled his friendship with Diana, the mutual dependence that was forged between them in different vital phases and the complicity they had for being 'stuck' members of the royal family.

Diana and Fergie share an ancestor, in the figure of William Cavendish, fourth Duke of Devonshire. They have known each other since adolescence, resuming friendship in 1980 and estranged a year before the death of the princess, in the tragic road accident, in Paris, in 1997. William and Harry's mother is said to have disliked comments the Duchess made about her in her 1996 autobiography, My Story.

"People often ask me if I miss Dutch a lot," he says in the interview, sneaking in the nickname he gave Diana. But Ferguson doesn't miss his old confidant because, as he remarks on television, "she's with me all the time."
