Fergie regrets divorce

London - Britain's Sarah Ferguson regrets divorcing Prince Andrew.

The Duchess of York made the confession while being hypnotised for her television documentary series Finding Sarah made by the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

In the footage Sarah - who is mother to Andrew's two daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie - is seen lying on a chaise longue as she admits to a therapist that she and her ex-husband both wish they had made their marriage work instead of officially parting ways in 1996.

She says: "I wish we'd never got divorced. He and I both wish we'd never got divorced, but we did. I wish I could go back and be the bride again, but I can't."

"He's my best friend and the father of my children. He's a great ex."

Guilt

The session - in which the duchess also agrees to explore her feelings of guilt over how the split affected  their daughters - was filmed for chat show host Oprah's network but now a source close to Sarah doubts it will ever air.

The insider told The Sun: "I would be surprised if she was doing that for television - it was probably for research."

"The series is from getting fit again through to looking at why she's made the errors that she has made. Obviously part of trying to rebuild herself would be going to a psychiatrist.

"I don't know whether it was ever planned to air."
