Despite the bare-face and a touch of holiday frizz, Sarah Ferguson managed to look stylish on the arm of her friend Slavica Ecclestone as they strolled around Dubrovnik.

The ex-wife of F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone was born in Croatia and returns home for a holiday every year. But it's not often she's accompanied by a Duchess.

Slavica even introduced her friend to Dubrovnik Mayor, Andro Vlahušić, as they strolled around the popular tourist destination.
