(audience applauds)
- I mean, they're very nice,
this nice audience. - They are!
I know, they're lovely, - Thank you.
- They've got a lot of energy,
I was tired this morning, thank you for that.
(audience applauds)
- I like it, it's a really, you've got a great show
and everybody's really young and fun and.
- Yeah, okay, I don't know if we're all young, but yeah.
- Thank you, thank you.
(all laughs)
- I know I haven't put yogurt on today.
(audience applauds)
- Well, I have to say we all know that,
and Great Britain lost Queen Elizabeth.
- [Sarah] Oh.
- So, and that was last year.
So, what are some of your fondest memories?
- Well, actually right now, it would be that
in coming towards the end, she never was able
to walk her doggies, her corgis.
- Yeah. (audience groans sadly)
- And so, I know it's so sad.
And I used to go into the favorite place
where she used to walk and take a video,
and say, oh, and you'd love this,
look, the magnolia's coming out and the snow drops are out
(audience coos) and the primroses are out.
- [Kelly] Oh, I love that.
- And so, and I just did that walk before I came here,
and I got really teared up actually,
because I thought, oh, I'll just send it to her.
Oh no, she's not there.
And she was such an
extraordinary lady. - That's the thing
with people passing,
you're like it hits you at weird times.
- Yeah, but one of the things she'd say now,
to me, to come on this show,
she'd say, "Go on, get out there, keep being yourself."
That's what she always used
to say to me. - [Kelly] Yeah.
- And I think, think that's the secret
why I just keep coming back rather like a, I don't know,
something you put on flowers,
(audience applauds) I just keep coming back.
I was gonna say something else and stopped.
- Is this true that you and Princess Di
once dressed as policewomen?
Like for a, was it a bachelorette party?
- Well, it was my hen party actually, 1986.
- [Kelly] OK, oh, is that what you call them hen parties?
- [Sarah] Yes.
- [Kelly] (laughs) I love that, I didn't know that.
- [Sarah] Yeah.
- [Kelly] I love this!
- But you know, it was extraordinary,
because we went to a nightclub.
Of course you go to a nightclub with the Princess of Wales,
then Princess of Wales.
And I was just still Fergie, wasn't married yet.
And we went into this nightclub and she was very good
as her costume.
Anyway, so we sat down (chuckles),
and the waiter came up to us and said, "Excuse me,
this is a member's club and it's for fun,
and we don't serve police officers here."
(audience laugh)
Looking straight at us.
- They thought you were real
police officers, A. - Yes.
- And then two, they kicked police officers out.
- Yes, and we went out and as we came out of the stairs,
a lady was getting out of a cab,
and Diana said, "She's got my dress on."
I said, "Dutch!", I called her Dutch.
I said, "Dutch, no, no, no, you can't say that,
we're meant to be police officers."
It was very funny, and then we were.
- Keep in character!
(all laugh)
- But Kelly, we were then arrested.
(all laugh)
- I missed this story, what?
- We were arrested by Parks police.
So we got in the back of the van.
- What did you do to get arrested?
- She had put her engagement ring round the other way,
and I put mine round the other way.
And we were sitting in there like this,
and she just looked around and saw a smokey bacon flavored
crisps and started taking them and eating them,
and the policeman in the front said, "You can't do that."
We were. - Just Did.
- Just did
- [Kelly] Just did.
- Yeah, and then eventually they realized
that it was Diana and me.
- But wait, why did y'all get arrested?
- Oh, well 'cause we were impersonating police officers.
(all laugh)
- [Kelly] Oh my god, people are allowed to be in costume.
- Hello?
- Yeah. - Anyway, but.
- Uh, hello?
(all laugh)
- I'm in jury.
- I love you, that's incredible.
- Incredible.
- Oh my god.
- And of course, everyone always says to me,
but you must miss Dutch, you and Diana.
And I go, no, 'cause I mean, she's with me all day.
'Cause she's the only one who really,
she and I, we laughed a lot.
We got into trouble a lot.
And then she used to, do you know what she used to do?
She used to tell me the worst story, joke story
just before I had to be serious.
(all laugh)
So I'd go straight in to dinner, and she'd always,
'cause she'd been there a few years before me.
She used to run like a gazelle to get into the dining room
quicker than me.
And I now I thought, well that's a bit strange.
And when I got in I realized why,
'cause she got the young people,
and I got all the old people.
- A clever one.
So wait, your new book, let's talk about it.
- [Sarah] Oh yes.
- So it's called "A Most Intriguing Lady".
- [Sarah] Yes.
- So why did you, this is book two, is it?
- Yes, book two. - [Kelly] Okay.
- Just very quickly. - [Kelly] Yeah.
- 'Cause I know you're so busy.
I honestly, the British newspapers and various newspapers
around the world always like, I dunno why,
they just love bad Fergie, sells a lot of papers.
(all laugh)
- So I'm excited, I decided that I'm still alive,
actually miracle, right?
So I thought that I ought to really work out,
it must be my red-headed gene, that I was born
with bright red, a bath hat of red curls.
I mean, what a joke, really?
- Or beautiful.
- Well, I researched all the redheads
and I believe every woman, of course, and men,
but should be given a voice,
and be respected and allowed to be themselves, not judged.
And I feel really strongly that I then went back
into my ancestors and I found two redheads
that have been in the grave, and they'd all written
about the brothers but not about them.
And that were my aunt, my great-aunt, this is my great-aunt.
- Oh wow.
- And so I took her outta the grave and I said,
come on darling, you are fabulous.
Let's make a story about you 'cause I'm alive
and you are my ancestor, so I'm gonna write a novel,
but it's based on me, really.
- Yeah, I love that.
- [Sarah] And also, yeah. (audience applauds)
- It's fun, yeah, (laughs) oh my God.
- And also, guess what?
I actually, yeah, you can star in it, we'll cast you.
- Please, I would love to, I do a great accent.
- And you can sing the theme song.
- Yeah, I was like, don't ask me to act.
- But what I love about this book,
is that it's during the day, she's very proper
and a lady, and everybody is.
it's sort of Cary Grant "To Catch a Thief" type bit.
Yeah, and at night she turns into a crimes,
a solving crimes.
- [Kelly] Kinda like a detective.
- She's a female detective! - [Kelly] Yeah.
Yeah, I love this.
- And so it's very most intriguing.
Yeah, you'll like it.
- I like a mystery, I like, yeah.
- I do too.
- It's very sort of.
- I didn't used to, but like lately,
the past sort of five years I'm like really into it.
- [Sarah] Yep, I love it.
- [Kelly] Yeah. - [Sarah] I love it.
- Okay, we have to do another commercial break, y'all.
But the Duchess's book is called "A Most Intriguing Lady".
It's out now.
