THE Duchess of York confided to the mother of actor Silvester Stallone that she still slept with her estranged husband, Prince Andrew, and they had no intention of divorcing, the British News Of The World claims.
The paper also quoted the former Sarah Ferguson (36), as saying "The queen can't stand me" and "I know they all hate me, but I don't give a damn, I'm just going to carry on being happy."
The confessions of the duchess reportedly came during a flight between London and Qatar two weeks ago after she asked Mrs Stallone, a fortune teller, to read her palm.
"I still love Andrew but we have an open marriage. I sleep with who I want and so does he. And when we're together, we still make love," she was quoted a saying.

"The conditions were getting to me. A camera 20 hours a day on you, and then you have a guy (guard) sitting four or five feet away from you. I'm in a 15 foot by 15 foot cage. You can't run. You can't do sit ups ... I had no way of getting rid of my stress," McVeigh, chief suspect in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building a year ago in which more than 160 people died, told the magazine.
