Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York has praised her former husband after he was forced to take a backseat at the recent Order of The Garter procession.Sarah, 62, has had a rather relaxed relationship with Andrew, 62, since their divorce in 1996, with the pair remaining the best of friends and also reportedly sharing a roof at Royal Lodge on the Windsor Great Park estate.Now, the Duchess has spoken about their relationship just months after the Duke settled a civil court sex case after he was accused of sexual abuse – a claim he strongly denies.Speaking to Mariella Frostrup on Times Radio about their living arrangements, the Duchess said: "I spend so much time out of the country, doing my philanthropic work, that when I do come back in, I'm very lucky to be able to stay here."It would be very wrong if I said it was my home, it's a place where we are a united front with the girls, it's their home."And now my grandchildren come here and I have always believed in communication, compromise and compassion."I will stand very firmly by Andrew who is a very good and kind man and that's what I believe."She continued: "We are divorced and I do spend as I think it's very important Mariella that people realise that I don't spend long here in England, because I don't wish to."I'd much prefer being out, I've built 156 schools in Africa and Poland and, you know, and I just want to keep going doing my philanthropy work."Discussing their fairytale wedding and Andrew, the Duchess added: "He's a very good and kind man, he's a good man."It was an exceptional day, the 23rd of July 1986 and it was just extraordinary, I think my life is an amazing life."I think I've been very lucky and I am now just beginning my life again and I.
