Kate Middleton, who revealed a few months ago that she was suffering from cancer after an abdominal surgery, completed her chemotherapy treatment at the beginning of September. Since then, she has kept a low profile, until she recently reappeared in public, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by the Duchess of York.
"I was deeply moved by her bravery," Ferguson commented during the interview. "The video she shared was incredibly powerful. Seeing the Princess of Wales appear with such dignity, taking care of her health and showing us all what self-care really looks like, was extraordinary," she pointed out. The duchess highlighted that Kate has not only been an example of personal resilience, but has also conveyed an inspiring message.
In the same interview, Ferguson also talked about King Carlos III, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment. He recalled how the monarch showed empathy during a visit to Cancer Research UK, a gesture that demonstrates his profound understanding of the experience of those facing this disease.

Throughout the interview, Sarah Ferguson also shared her own personal experience with cancer, recalling the importance of regular medical check-ups. She urged people not to ignore health screenings, emphasizing that while receiving a diagnosis can be terrifying, there are always solutions and treatments that can save lives.
The interview also coincided with the news that Princess Beatrice, Ferguson's eldest daughter, is expecting her second child, a piece of news that has brought a ray of hope and joy to the Duchess amid the health challenges she has recently faced. Ferguson publicly acknowledges the courage with which the Princess of Wales has faced this difficult chapter in her life.
