She just revealed heartbreaking information about her health. Continue reading to learn more.

According to a representative for the Duchess of York, some unfortunate news involving the former royal Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson has come to light. “Sarah, Duchess of York, was recently diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer, which was discovered at a routine mammogram screening,” the statement said. After learning that she required surgery, which was successful, she was told.

The statement continued by stating that the Duchess was receiving the greatest medical care and that her prognosis was good. Currently, her family is assisting with her recovery. The Duchess wants to sincerely thank all the medical experts who have recently assisted her.

She thanked the medical staff in the statement for being able to identify the problem and care for her. She also expresses gratitude to the mammography team for identifying her disease, which was mostly symptom-free. She believes that her experience proves the need of frequent screening.

According to reports, the Duchess maintains an optimistic outlook and even managed to record one episode of her podcast prior to surgery.

The Duchess of York’s first spouse was Prince Andrew. Eugenie and Beatrice, princesses, are their joint offspring. King Charles took part in the Trooping of the Color to commemorate his first birthday, but Sarah wasn’t there. She didn’t show up for the concert, but she didn’t go to the real coronation either.

Even after she and Prince Andrew divorced, Sarah maintained a strong relationship with her ex-mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth. She made a comment regarding the effect her death had on her. Regarding her relationship with the queen, she said, “I am developing much more in my own voice today. I think that the queen’s passing has also given me some freedom. My feeling of purpose has been to uphold Her Majesty’s beliefs and to be utterly obedient for 62 or 63 years. Now that she’s passed away, I feel like maybe I can finally be free to be Sarah since she was actually more like a mother to me than my own mother. I sense that the bonds in my own mind have been released.

Spread the word about this to other fans of Sarah Ferguson who might call her “Fergie” or another moniker. We wish her the best as she bounces back from this ordeal.
