Eugenie, Princess, commemorates Sarah Ferguson following recollection of touching personal episode
In an intimate conversation on Cressida Bonas's podcast, Lessons From Our Mothers, Princess Eugenie opened up about the profound impact her mother, Sarah Ferguson, had on her life. During her childhood, Eugenie battled scoliosis, undergoing a major operation at the age of 12. Her mother was an unwavering presence by her side throughout this challenging period.
Recalling those difficult times, Eugenie shared, "Mum kept me company in the hospital, every single waking hour. She was always proud of me and my scar, what I'd been through." However, the young royal felt "terrified" and "ashamed" of her scar initially. This emotion was subsequently transformed into pride, thanks to her mother's unwavering support.
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, displayed an incredible resilience, strength, and individuality that she instilled in her daughters. She would often show off Eugenie's scar to others, helping her daughter see it as a symbol of courage rather than a source of shame. This bode well for Eugenie, particularly during her wedding day in 2018, when she deliberately showed off her scar by wearing a dress that revealed it.
Eugenie's emotional confession touched her sister, Princess Beatrice, who was moved to tears. This moment underscored the sisters' strong bond, which was forged in part by their mother's nurturing influence. Eugenie has expressed a desire to emulate her mother's approachable and relatable nature, indicating that Sarah Ferguson's influence extends beyond personal matters to Eugenie's public persona as well.
Overall, Sarah Ferguson's support and pride in her daughter's resilience have greatly enriched their family bonds and encouraged Eugenie to embrace her unique story. Her determination to own her scar is a testament to her mother's powerful impact.
