Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, has shared a poignant message addressing those feeling low during the festive season. This comes as the royal family gathers at Sandringham for their annual Christmas celebration, while Fergie and Andrew remain at the Royal Lodge.
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Ferguson expressed gratitude for the kindness she has received and extended her support to others. “People all over the world that are feeling a little bit low or sad, just take some joy and bubbles from us here,” she said, gesturing toward her playful corgis. “We’re sending you so much love... You must just keep showing light, turning to the light, finding the joy, and saying thank you.”
The Duke of York, embroiled in controversy after a close associate was exposed as a Chinese spy, chose not to attend the Sandringham festivities, reportedly at King Charles’ behest. Ferguson was tasked with helping Andrew navigate the fallout of the scandal, which has brought further embarrassment to the royal family.
Despite their absence from the royal reunion, Ferguson reaffirmed her unwavering support for Andrew. In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, she shared, “He supports me as much as I support him. We agree on the three Cs — communication, compromise, compassion.”
Their daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, will spend the holidays apart, with Beatrice joining the royals in Norfolk and Eugenie celebrating abroad with her in-laws. Meanwhile, Ferguson and Andrew are expected to have a quieter, more reflective Christmas at home.
