Various celebrities (and their mums) have already offered to help Britney Spears during her time of need - and now members of royalty are getting in on the act too.

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has said she wants to reach out to Britney after watching the popstar’s decline over the last year.

Sarah said recetly: “I would love to talk to Britney, because she - I just want to help her. I really feel sorry for her. She’s had a bad time and I really want to reach out to her.”

“I want to tell her, ‘It’s OK’. If she says, ‘No, I’ve got regrets…’ [I’d just say] ‘No, It’s OK’. Don’t let yesterday or tomorrow rob you of the present.”

“It’s OK right now, now let’s find a solution. Let’s build together and work together.”

Sarah added that she advises her daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie on how to cope with growing up in the public eye: “My two girls, Princesses, everyone goes, ‘Well it’s alright for them’. It’s very difficult. For the rest of their lives they will have the paparazzi chasing them.”

“But I say to them, ‘Never forget when you get out the car, people in the world aren’t so lucky - they want to see you smile. They don’t want to see you running away, hiding. No. Stand up, smile, and just go on with your day’.”
