Sarah Ferguson Expresses Concerns for Her Daughters
In a recent interview with ‘The Times’, Sarah Ferguson, 65, opened up about her enduring worries as a mother to Princess Eugenie, 34, and Princess Beatrice, 36, particularly in the age of social media. She candidly shared, ‘You worry about them all the time. I still do now that they are adults. Young people face unprecedented challenges today. Social media is a cesspool, and it is alarming what they are exposed to.’
Reflecting on her own health struggles, Ferguson revealed that she faced two cancer diagnoses within a year, describing it as a life-altering experience. ‘It was tough,’ she admitted. ‘I usually maintain a positive outlook, but cancer is like a bomb going off in your life. Dealing with one diagnosis is overwhelming, but I had to confront two.’
In June 2023, Sarah announced her successful treatment for breast cancer, and in January 2024, she disclosed a diagnosis of malignant melanoma.
