Duchess of York reflects on her daughters' challenges as royal dynamics shift.
Sarah Ferguson has revealed her concerns for her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, following reports that Princess Anne has made a significant request to King Charles regarding her own children.
In an interview with The Times, the Duchess of York shared her worries about the well-being of her daughters, even as adults. "You worry about them all the time. I still do now, when they're adults," Sarah said, adding, "I think young people today have it harder than ever. Social media is a cesspit and it's very frightening what young people are exposed to."
Sarah’s comments come amid claims from Radar Online that Princess Anne has urged King Charles to grant royal titles to her children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips. The move, if true, could have significant implications for the roles and recognition of other non-working royals, including Beatrice and Eugenie.
The Duchess also spoke about her commitment to mental health awareness, recalling the tragic loss of a loved one to suicide and emphasising the importance of supporting young people through the pressures they face.
As the royal family adjusts to the new dynamics under King Charles’s reign, Sarah’s concerns highlight the challenges faced by younger generations in navigating both public and private life.
