- Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson gave some insight into her life after getting surgery for breast cancer.
- The Duchess recuperated at her UK home with the help of the late Queen’s closest canines.
Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson revealed in June 2023 that she was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine mammogram check-up. During episode 4 of her “Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah” podcast that month, her co-host, Sarah Thomson, updated fans on her friend’s health.

Thomson revealed that the royal had undergone surgery for breast cancer. She shared how such a considerable diagnosis impacted all of them but said the Duchess of York managed to stay strong throughout it all.

The Duchess’ co-host revealed that the episode had been recorded the day before her friend went in for surgery. However, being the person Ferguson is, she wanted the episode released to encourage and build awareness about how vital it is to do screening and self-checking to prevent breast cancer.

The royal underwent a mastectomy, and after her surgery, she released a new video. Ferguson continued her “Storytime with Fergie and Friends” on social media clips she started in April 2020 by reading Eva Eland’s “Where Happiness Begins.”
