CHICAGO, May 10 (UPI) -- Sarah Ferguson, the duchess of York, said she understands why she was left off the guest list for last month's royal wedding at London's Westminster Abbey. Ferguson, the ex-wife of groom Prince William's uncle Andrew, made headlines last year when she attempted to sell access to her former husband to a journalist.

Although Andrew and their daughters -- Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice -- were invited to William's wedding to Kate Middleton, Ferguson was not.
"I was not invited," UsMagazine.com quoted Ferguson as saying at the taping for Wednesday's edition of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
"I chose to go and be in Thailand in a place called Camelia ... . The jungle embraced me," Ferguson said.
She added that being left out of the festivities in London "was so difficult because I wanted to be there with my girls ... to be getting them dressed and to go as a family. ... Also, it was so hard, because the last bride up that aisle was me."
UsMagazine.com reported Ferguson went on to say she understands why her former in-laws decided not to invite her to the wedding.
"I went through the phase of feeling so totally worthless and that [it] was quite right they didn't invite me. Why would they -- why would they invite me?" she said.
"I felt that I ostracized myself by my behavior, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting. Why did I make such a mistake? Why have I made so many mistakes?"
