One of the most famous royal divorcees of all time, Sarah Ferguson, 58, was married to the Queen's son, Prince Andrew for 10 years

Married in 1986 in a lavish ceremony held at Westminster Abbey, over 100,000 people gathered to watch the new Duke and Duchess of York share that famous kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace

The two met when they were both children, but their romance was kindled by the late Princess Diana, who invited Sarah to a Ascot races after-party held at Windsor Castle

The Prince and Fergie began dating the same week, with the engagement following very soon

But with 22 years having passed since the couple's divorce, how much is the Duchess of York worth in her own right?According to celebrity intelligence website TheRichest.com, flame-haired Fergie is worth around $1 million, which is approximately £751,000

Since her divorce in 1996, the Duchess has kept her name in the public eye, now known as a writer, public speaker, charity patron, brand ambassador and television personality

Along with holding celebrity status, Sarah has worked with many brands over the years including British fine china and porcelain company, Wedgwood and cosmetics giant, Avon

Fergie has also held a decade-long endorsement with Weight Watchers, no doubt contributing to her $1 million net worth

The mother-of-two has also written various books including her own 1997 autobiography, My Story and 2011's Finding Sarah: A Duchess's Journey to Find Herself in 2011

She has also hosted radio shows and the 2009 ITV reality show, The Duchess on the Estate

The controversial TV show saw the Duchess journey to a working class estate in Manchester for a fly-on-the-wall documentary

This was followed by another called The Duchess in Hull.Before meeting Prince Andrew, Fergie worked in a public relations firm based in London, before working for an art gallery and publishing company

Despite divorcing over 20 years ago, Prince Andrew and Sarah remain on good terms, purchasing a £13 million chalet together in 2015 located in Verbier, Switzerland

Along with renting her own apartment in the expensive Eaton Square in London, Fergie also resides in the multi-million pound chalet

It was in Verbier that her daughter Princess Eugenie, 28, and her fiancé Jack Brooksbank, 32, met

Fergie's other work includes autobiographical books, charity work and radio work. Despite her high net worth, it was reported by The Sun in April 2016 that Sarah was selling her £150,000 Bentley for just £33,995 as she was "always short of cash"

The car was a gift from her ex boyfriend, Norwegian business tycoon Geir Frantzen back in 2008

It seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as the Duchess' youngest daughter is also said to work full-time, holding a director position at Hauser & Wirth, a contemporary art gallery in Mayfair, London

The 28-year-old Princess Eugenie is marrying her boyfriend of eight years, Jack, at St George's Chapel, Windsor, in October

Fergie will once again come face-to-face with the royal family, after Prince Charles was rumoured to have snubbed his former sister-in-law at the Royal Wedding, leaving her off the guest list for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's evening reception

Theresa May blasts EU's 'negative briefing' over Brexit divorce bill

THERESA May has accused the EU of "soundbites and negative briefings" and insisted she is still ready to withhold Britain's jumbo divorce cheque.

The PM's outburst yesterday was a bid to answer angry Brexiteers' demands to toughen up her negotiating stance.

Downing Street was left livid by a senior Brussels figure laying into Britain's negotiators for peddling "fantasy" ideas after last weeks' talks ended in another bitter stand off.

The PM's official spokesman hit back to insist it is "imperative that we keep these talks constructive".

He added: "That means focusing on holding constructive talks inside the negotiating room.

"We also need to be constructive outside of the room – which means looking beyond soundbites and negative anonymous briefings.

No10 also again insisted that only a good trade deal for the UK would unlock the £39billion divorce payment, restating the Mrs May's mantra over the financial offer: "Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed".

But leading Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg keeps up his demands for the government to take a harder line on Brussels today.

Writing in The Sun, the Tory MP – who chairs the hardline ERG group – insists it is "about time" No10 upset the EU.

Jacob Rees-Mogg: "Some faint-hearted, timorous souls, who mainly backed Remain, feel that reiterating "no deal is better than a bad deal" and that we could walk away while keeping our money may upset our negotiating partners.

"It is about time they were upset, and we put some pressure back on them.

"Managing decline and being fearful of shadows will not provide the best Brexit result and in the end the matter is simple.

No10 also denied charges that Whitehall "no deal" planning has ground to a halt, crippling Mrs May's hand.

Transport bosses last night published plans to spend £25 million on new truck registration scheme before legislation for it is passed.

They fear that the new Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Scheme needed after Brexit will not be ready in time for our exit day next year unless they take emergency action.

Meanwhile, an EU diplomat revealed Britain is beginning to see some success in going over the head of chief negotiator Michel Barnier to appeal directly to member states.

National capitals across the EU have been irritated by the Brussels Commission's hardline stand on Britain's participation in the Galileo satellite project and negotiations about the bloc's next budget period.

An EU diplomat told The Sun: "The Brits are starting to have more success going directly to the Member States and that's worrying the Commission.
