- She came very close to being caught in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. She was due to be on the 101st floor of one of the towers for a charity meeting at 8:45 am EST, but was running late. Upon her arrival, one of the planes had crashed into one of the towers, and her staff whisked her back into the vehicle and to safety.
- During her marriage she was officially known as 'Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York', following her divorce she is styled as 'Her Grace Sarah, Duchess of York'
- Was close to the late Princess Diana of Wales, as their husbands were brothers.
- Her uncle died when he was 10 years old after having an allergic reaction to a crab sandwich, many years before she was born. In her adult years, she became a patron of the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, which is helping instill a law that requires businesses to list all of the ingredients on pre-packaged food.
- Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Sarah and her ex-husband Andrew, whom she still lives with, adopted Elizabeth's two corgis.
- Humility comes from understanding that the obstacles in front of you are not going to go away.
- I would like to act. I genuinely think it would be a good idea. I have enough experience of drama because that's what my life has been.
- [on being asked whether she and Prince Andrew might remarry] No. I think our fairy tale will end in the way we are now. He is the oak and I am the cypress. We grow to the light and encourage each other to grow, like Kahlil [Gibran] said in 'The Prophet'.
