Sarah Ferguson made candid remarks about gender in a new statement.
The Duchess of York has opened up about being a hands-on grandmother, revealing the toys that her three grandchildren love to play with.
Fergie’s eldest daughter Princess Beatrice, who is expecting her second child next spring, has three-year-old Sienna.
Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie is a mother to two sons, August, three, and one-year-old Ernest.
Describing what it’s like to be a grandmother, Sarah, 64, said: “It is one of the most precious, joyful, exciting moments because you’re so proud of your own children, and they’ve done such a good job.
“But then these are little naughties again, but you can play again.
“And since I am clearly only a three-year-old, I am actually loving making Barbie houses again. I forgot…”
Sarah spoke about the difference in being a grandmother to boys August and Ernest.

The duchess continued to tell This Morning: “Now I have to play trains.
“Boys are different, and I’ve got to know how to play with the train and not to do it wrong, and you know I’ve got to get it right, so it’s really the most extraordinary thing to be a grandmother.”
Sarah has previously spoken about having a “fairy picnic” with Sienna for Beatrice’s birthday last year and how August is teaching her how to “play trains and diggers”.
The children are regular visitors at Royal Lodge in Windsor, the home of Fergie’s ex-husband, Prince Andrew, where Sarah also lives.
Hours after Buckingham Palace shared Beatrice’s pregnancy news, the duchess took to her own personal Instagram to post some sweet family snaps and express her joy at being a grandmother for the fourth time.
She wrote: “Darling Beatrice, words can’t quite express the joy and excitement I feel as you and Edo prepare to welcome another precious addition to your beautiful family.
“Becoming a granny again fills my heart with so much happiness and gratitude.”
