The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has posed in a pair of leather trousers to show off her 20kg weight loss.

The 54-year-old royal flaunts her new figure in the current issue of Hello! magazine, revealing she was “drowning in food” before she decided to slim down.

Fergie says she started dieting after realising she weighed nearly as much as she did when she was pregnant with her first daughter Princess Beatrice, now 25.

She lost the weight over five months by cutting out sugar and exercising every day.

The former Weight Watchers ambassador has struggled with her weight her whole life, once being cruelly nicknamed “The Duchess of Pork” because she cut a fuller figure than her royal counterpart Princess Diana.
