Sarah Ferguson has admitted that she's 'terrified' after taking on an important role following the death of the Queen in September. The Duchess of York appeared on the famous couch on The One Show, and revealed that adopting the late monarch's beloved corgis is certainly keeping her on her toes.
"Since we last saw you we've lost her majesty the queen but you've gained the corgis," said presenter Alex Jones. At the mention of the adorable pooches, her face lit up. But the Duchess went on to make confession that she's worried what might happen to them because they're such national treasures.
"Yes and because they're national treasures I'm terrified when they go out running," she said. Giving an insight into what life is like as their new owner she said, as a picture of them together was beamed onto the screen: "They chase everything, straight into trees, bang like that and I go 'no no no, the nation loves you, stop, stop, stop, stop, chasing squirrels."

The Duchess said the corgis Sandy and Muick, who she adopted with her ex husband Prince Andrew, are a treasured reminder to her of Her Majesty Elizabeth II and her values. "She used to say there needs to be more kindness in the world to disarm malice," she said. She added: "We need to stop and remember these words. When I look at them I think I'm going to be even more kind."
Viewers watching Her Majesty make her final emotional journey were in floods of tears as they watched the procession to Windsor Castle and the corgis appeared to say a final goodbye. As the sovereign's coffin was brought to Windsor Castle for a committal service at St George's Chapel she was greeted for the last time by her beloved dogs.
As the colourful procession made its way to the private ceremony Sandy and Muick were waiting for the monarch, who passed away aged 96 on September 8. Her dogs were seen observing the majestic historical event this afternoon and viewers were 'broken' by the heartbreaking sight.
Mourners reacted with tearful emojis as they spotted the pair paying tribute to their loving owner, who was famed for her love of the short-legged herding dog and is believed to have owned between 50 and 60 during her 70 year reign. @MarkArfur tweeted: "Seeing the Queen’s Corgis has just absolutely broke me."
