The royal family loves playing Scrabble, says Sarah Ferguson, who also reveals granddaughter Sienna is currently staying with her and calls her Gee-Gee

The royal family is “very united,” according to Sarah Ferguson, who revealed that they enjoy bonding over a game of Scrabble.

The Duchess of York made the comments during the latest episode of her Tea Talks podcast, which she hosts with her close friend Sarah Thomson. The theme of this week’s episode was ‘playing, training and board games in the palace’.

A listener asked if the royals enjoy playing board games at Christmas, and if it was true that the late Queen Elizabeth disliked Monopoly for its tendency to cause fights between players.

The 63-year-old Duchess shared details about The Firm that made them sound surprisingly normal, saying they “love games, board games, card games, Scrabble, jigsaw puzzles” and are “a very united family.”

She added that they “like to do what other families do and it’s lovely.”

However, she did not comment on Monopoly or the late monarch’s feelings about the game.

Nor has she confirmed or denied that The Firm is playing the game ‘Ibble Dibble’, which is played by members of the family in the Netflix royal drama The Crown.

Sarah, who lives with her divorced husband Prince Andrew at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, also spoke of her granddaughter Sienna, who is currently staying with the Yorks while her mother Princess Beatrice is on holiday.

She said of the almost two-year-old, “Beatrice and Edo are gone, so Gee-Gee is in charge, it’s really, really funny.”

“All along I wished Sienna would come in and say Gosh, let’s come play and now she wants to come play every minute of every day.”

Sarah revealed similarities between her granddaughter and her daughter, describing the toddler as a “mini-me.”

She said, “It got me back to following Beatrice again — it’s literally a Mini-Me.”

“We’ve had an extraordinary time and I’m really glad Beatrice and Edo are getting some alone time too.”

Sarah Ferguson revealed that she is currently taking care of her daughter Beatrice’s young daughter Sienna (pictured).

Earlier this week, Sarah wished Beatrice a happy birthday as her daughter turned 35.

She took her Instagram account to post two throwback images featuring the royal family.

Happy birthday Beatrice. You will always be my girl,” the mother-of-two wrote alongside a love heart emoji.

One of the images posted by the Duchess showed the daughter and mother duo traveling in the Duke of York’s Aston Martin car in 1996.

A young Beatrice shows off her vivacious style in pink sunglasses, while her mother looks stylish in a white T-shirt and dainty earrings as she sits in the passenger seat.

A second photo Sarah shared today shows the pair chatting to each other at the 2004 Veuve Clicquot Polo Gold Cup final in West Sussex.

In a recent podcast, Sarah said she’s proud of the “hard-working” Beatrice, who currently works as a consultant for a software company called Affiniti.

But now one of the main focuses in her life is “literally focusing on joy,” and she’s also thrilled that Beatrice was able to find the joy in her own family.

She said, “I’m thrilled that my kids, who work so hard, can have their pods from family, and now they’re living the dream.”

“I believe my children have beautiful, wonderful happiness in them and I love that.”
