Fergie: I'VE MADE PEACE WITH THE DIANA COMPARISONS

Sarah Ferguson has gained a whole new perspective following her recent cancer scare

- 

This June, Sarah Ferguson revealed that she'd undergone a mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis. But on the Aug. 30 episode of the podcast she co-hosts - Tea Talks With the Duchess and Sarah Fergie, 63, shared that while the health scare may have required "a body part to be cut off," she'd actually gained something even more valuable in the process: self-acceptance.

Indeed, the famous redhead said she had a "wake-up" call to "stop worrying, stop self-hatred, stop self-doubt, stop all these things. Stop not liking yourself." Fergie has also stopped measuring herself against the late Princess Diana. "When I look back... I didn't like myself, and that was because... I was always compared to Diana," the Duchess of York, who's previously dealt with body dysmorphia and eating disorders, noted of her former sister-in-law. "I sort of believed my own press, which is, you know, not too good."
