Duchess of York shares heartfelt message after friend’s criticism of Meghan’s cooking show
Sarah Ferguson has made her first public statement following controversy over Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess of York shared a joyful video message, surprising her sister at an animal rights event. In the clip, Sarah embraced her sister Jane Ferguson and showed support for her charitable work.
“A surprise visit to @crufts to see my sister @janeferguson7 and her fabulous @LickiMat and also to support Lady B’s charity the @nfrsa_official—National Foundation for Retired Service Animals—for which I’m a proud Patron,” Sarah wrote. “Nothing better than combining family time and championing deserving animals who’ve served us so selflessly.”
Her statement comes shortly after British socialite and longtime friend Tamara Beckwith strongly criticised Meghan, calling her “dreadful” and accusing her of disrespecting the late Queen. Speaking to The Mail, Beckwith stated she had no interest in watching Meghan’s cooking series.
“I don’t understand how you can disrespect my Queen, and there’s no way you can convince me that wasn’t blatant disrespect,” Beckwith remarked. “It’s just dreadful and she’s dreadful. I don’t want to be mean, but she’s just not my people.”
While Sarah’s message did not address the controversy, her focus on family and charity appears to shift attention away from the backlash surrounding Meghan’s latest project.
