Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson hates grown-ups

Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has at a charity event, revealed that she hated 'grown-ups'.

Fergie, 50, spoke out as she picked up an award for her work with underprivileged kids at the Variety charity bash in Hollywood on May 23.

"I learnt today about making a difference. Most importantly I learned I hate grown-ups and I love children," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"When I got on that plane from London tonight, I thought, phew, what a heavy day.

"But when the children's choir came out tonight and I saw their little faces, I turned round to my friend and said, 'You know what, I'm glad I did because it is about the children'," she added.

Fergie is set to fly to New York to host an author's breakfast on May 26 for the Book Expo America conference at the Jacob K Javits Center.
