"I just jumped on the private jet and there we were." The Libertines' Pete Doherty shares his memories of holidaying in Thailand with members of Britain's royal family

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty.

The Libertines frontman Pete Doherty has shared his memories of a holiday in Thailand with members of the British royal family. It didn't end so well for Doherty, as she recalls.

Doherty, then fronting his post-Libertines band Babyshambles, and his girlfriend at the time, supermodel Kate Moss enjoyed holidaying together in Phuket, and were apparently staying in the exclusive and luxurious Amanpuri resort around Easter 2012 at the same time that Prince Andrew's former wife Sarah Ferguson was on vacation at the resort with the couple's then-teenage daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

“I think it was a couple of times,” Doherty recalls in an interview with The Irish Independent newspaper. “Sarah was there with her daughters, the princesses.

“I can remember Sarah Ferguson dancing in a bar – on the table,” he continues. “That was quite interesting. One for the memories. I think I just went along for the ride. I didn’t even know where we were going. ‘Are you coming then? Hurry up!’ And I just jumped on the private jet and there we were.”
