Sarah Ferguson issues emotional statement

Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson has left fans guessing as she released a new statement about King Charles and Princess Kate as they prepare for their next royal move.

The Duchess of York paid a special tribute to King Charles and Kate Middleton for their decision to publicly address their cancer journeys.

In an interview during the launch of the new Youth Impact Council at New York Climate Week, Ferguson said: "I think they are an example to all families going through their own journeys of health."

The Duchess of York told People: "I think both the King and the Princess of Wales have spoken openly about their journey, and I love that the Princess says, 'I’m always there for you.' I love that video. It was a beautiful video with beautiful words."

"The King, you know, became the patron of the Cancer Research UK, which is such a big organization, and he actually went out to meet the patients."

Referring to the King's April visit to the Macmillan Cancer Centre at the University College Hospital London, she said: "That was very brave too, very courageous, and [he] spoke openly, which was very important to help people and give hope."

The Duchess also gave update on her her own health, saying: "I think that you never really get rid of the worry about health. For every sort of melanoma, you never really know where it is. You look at everything and you’re certainly more aware.

"It’s been an extraordinary journey to have gone through a mastectomy, and then you have to keep having checks, and then you think you’re going to get it again. It’s a lot of very fragile mind work."

Beatrice and Eugenie's mum added: "I think that also gives me empathy to understand the fragility of the mind. A lot of young people have fragile, vulnerable times, with cyberbullying and chronic cruelty from other people. I think that’s something I address, I am adamant about cruelty through social media. My health is really good now, but you have to be a bit more cognitive and not push yourself too much, which I do."

Ferguson, popularly known as Fergie, voiced her admiration for the King and Princess Kate, seemingly quashing rumours of rift within the royal family.
