The Royal Family are known for keeping it classy. But, if the revelations of the last few months are anything to go by – such as Prince Harry losing his virginity in a field behind a pub – it seems some members of The Firm party a little harder than others. And according to Sarah Ferguson, she and Princess Diana did just that.

Speaking on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Sarah – AKA Fergie – revealed that ahead of her 1986 wedding to Prince Andrew, she and Diana were arrested on her hen night! Explaining what went down, Sarah told Kelly that the royal pair were dressed up in police outfits that night, but not everyone clocked on to who they were.

"We sat down, and the waiter came up to us and said, 'Excuse me, this is a members club. And it's for fun, and we don't serve police officers here,' " Sarah recalled.

"They thought you were real police officers?" Kelly asked, to which Sarah replied: "Yes!"

Things took a turn however when the pair left the members club and the Duchess of York and the Princess of Wales ended up being arrested for "impersonating police officers". It gets better...

Sarah and Diana were put into the back of a police car, but when Diana noticed the smell of "smoky bacon flavored crisps" in the car, she "started taking them and eating them."

Everyone's clicking on...

"The policeman in the front seat, said 'You can't do that!'" Sarah added, before revealing that the police officers eventually realised who they actually were.

"She and I, we laughed a lot. We got into trouble a lot," the Duchess went on, commenting on her special relationship with the late Princess, with whom she remained close friends with up until her tragic death in 1997.

Erm, anyone else wish this whole police officer impersonation/smoky bacon crisps ordeal was caught on camera!?
