Suggesting her daughters bring the kids around to her home of Royal Lodge, which she shares with ex-husband Prince Andrew, Fergie said she's conscious of not monopolising their time.

"I worry for Jack [Brooksbank] and Edo's [Mapelli Mozzi] mums, thinking, 'Oh gosh, they're always here. Oh no, I must share'," she admitted.

Co-host Thomson, who has three grown sons, agreed she often worried when they were younger if both sets of parents were getting enough time with the kids.

"Are we balancing it? Are we seeing everybody in a fair amount of time?" she empathised.

Fergie, who recently had surgery after a breast cancer diagnosis, revealed she hasn't been able to travel while in recovery and therefore couldn't join her kids on holidays this summer.

Both princesses are currently away with their families on vacation, she said during the podcast, without revealing where.
