Sarah Ferguson recently celebrated Easter with the royal family, sharing a photo on Instagram and asking what traditions others were celebrating. She wore a green dress to the family’s Easter church service, where she appeared with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew. The couple share two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. It was an important moment as King Charles III made a rare public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer in February, returning to royal duties and hosting events at Buckingham Palace.
Ferguson herself is battling cancer, having been diagnosed with skin cancer after previously being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. She had moles removed during reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, with one identified as cancerous. Despite her health struggles, she was photographed smiling as she left a London hospital after the skin cancer news broke. Princess Kate Middleton, on the other hand, has remained out of the public eye since undergoing abdominal surgery in January and subsequently being diagnosed with cancer.
Prince William has taken over public events for Kate as she undergoes treatment and recovery, with their family choosing to have a quiet Easter at home instead of attending the church service. Ferguson showed support for Kate on Instagram, expressing her thoughts and prayers for the Princess of Wales during her treatment. She also commended Kate for speaking out about her diagnosis publicly and raising awareness for cancer. Ferguson hopes that Kate will be given the time, space, and privacy to heal.
As Charles, Kate, and Ferguson battle their respective health issues, the royal family has come together to support one another during these challenging times. Ferguson’s positive attitude despite her health struggles and her show of support for Kate show the strong bond within the royal family. The Easter celebration with the royal family was a special moment for all involved, highlighting the resilience and unity of the family during difficult times. Their public appearances and messages of support serve as a reminder of the strength and love that exist within the royal family.
