SARAH Ferguson has revealed the reason why she is not invited to King Charles' coronation.
Last week it was revealed the Duchess of York did not get an invitation to the crowning of Charles and Camilla at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
She is not among the 2,000 guests despite knowing Charles since childhood.
The duchess is expected to watch the event on TV at Royal Lodge, which she shares with disgraced ex Prince Andrew.
And this morning she broke her silence after the snub – telling Good Morning Britain exactly why she wasn't invited.
She said: "I'm not invited because it's a state occasion. Being divorced you can't have it both ways.
