Matthew Perry received the Royal tribute

Do you remember Friends season 4 episode 23, where everyone except for Phoebe and Rachel flew to London for Ross’ wedding? In the episode, Joey met Sarah Ferguson, known as Fergie, who complimented his hat. Years later, following Perry’s painful demise, the Duchess of York went down the memory lane to talk about her experience on Friends on her Instagram. Remembering her meeting with the actor, she praised Perry and wrote, “I remember being thrilled to have met a natural talent, comedian and brilliant actor.”

The Duchess of York mentioned it was tragic to lose the actor, who gave joy and laughter to so many this early. In the first picture, apart from Lisa Kudrow, she appeared with the entire cast of Friends. However, in the second picture, which is from behind the scenes, Fergie appeared alongside Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry. Wishing for the actor’s peace, Fergie expressed her heartfelt pain.

In the episode, Chandler did not get a chance to meet the Duchess of York as he parted ways with Joey, who was extremely excited about being in London. But Sarah Ferguson did meet the cast and had an amazing time with them. However, the question is: How did the Duchess of York end up being in the sitcom?

How did Sarah Ferguson join the fan-favorite Friends?

According to the book, I’ll Be There for You: The One About Friends by Kelsey Miller, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie coaxed Fergie into the cameo appearance. It is interesting that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie convinced their mother to do this surprising cameo at 10 and 8 years of age, respectively. Surely, the Friends fan loved how the show included the Royal member in the sitcom, making the London episodes more fun.

Along with the British royalty, the 17 Again actor also received a heartfelt tribute from the Canadian President, Justin Trudeau, expressing his grief. Leaving everyone in distress, the fan-favorite Canadian actor left the world on October 28th, 2023. While the entire fandom is mourning the loss, celebrities also join in to pray for Perry.
