Sarah Ferguson Once Gushed About Her Daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugene Becoming Mothers
In a 2021 open letter to her daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugene, Sarah Ferguson couldn’t help but gush about the two. She also shared how excited she was that they were becoming mothers of their own.
“It is an extraordinary feeling when your child becomes a mother,” Sarah Ferguson wrote. “Suddenly my little girlies have their own little ones…such a feeling to get used to. But if I do cry or tear up as you drive away, it is only because I am so proud of you.
She then shared, “It has been just us for 33 years, but now you are creating your own families, and I couldn’t be happier for you both and my magnificent sons-in-law, Jack and Edo.”
“When your children walk on their own journeys, please teach them to be authentic to themselves,” she added. “Like I taught you. Tell them to always try to turn to joy —to see nature, hear the birds sing, feel the rain droplets that make trees smile. Believe in fairies and the magic of every day. Never give up on the road to smiles and rainbows, and remember the saying ‘This too shall pass, like the clouds in the sky.'”
