Britain's Duchess of York is looking for love. Sarah Ferguson recently holidayed in Spain with ex-husband Prince Andrew but laughed off speculation they are set to reconcile, claiming she hopes to find a new boyfriend soon.

She said: "Andrew and I are the best of friends. It's a wonderful thing."

Britain's Sarah Ferguson has been praised for her work in Manchester. The Duchess of York has previously been blasted by angry residents of the Northern Moor estate in Wythenshawe, Manchester, for the way their area has been portrayed in her documentary series "The Duchess of the Estate" but a community leader has now admitted her efforts were worthwhile.

Bernard Caine - who previously said he felt "sold down the river" by the duchess - praised Sarah for setting up the Woodville Community Center.

Britain's Sarah Ferguson has been accused of a "hatchet job" on her new documentary. Angry residents of the Northern Moor estate in Wythenshawe, Manchester, staged protests ahead of a documentary fronted by the Duchess, "The Duchess on the Estate," claiming they were portrayed unfairly.

The 49-year-old duchess spent 10 days on the estate - which has 66,000 residents - for the show, claiming she chatted to youngsters about their problems after spending evenings "hoodie hunting" - but locals insist they barely saw her.

Kate Middleton is preparing to start a series of "princess classes." The 27-year-old beauty will reportedly be taught how to be a "fully-fledged" member of the royal family ahead of her expected engagement to Britain's Prince William.

William's mother Princess Diana, his aunt Sarah Ferguson and step-mother Camilla all struggled to cope when they married into the royal family and courtiers are determined to ensure Kate doesn't have the same problems.

Britain's Sarah Ferguson's former dresser has been moved to a luxury prison. Jane Andrews - who worked for the Duchess of York for nine years - was serving a life sentence in Send jail in Surrey, England, after stabbing her sleeping fiance and battering him to death with a cricket bat.

But she has now been transferred to open prison Askham Grange, which used to be a manor house, after begging the Parole Board to be moved from the harsh surroundings.
