Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as Fergie, is the mother of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, whom she shares with Prince Andrew. She recently spoke about her parenting approach, highlighting the importance of instilling empathy and compassion in her daughters from a young age.
Fergie emphasizes that Eugenie and Beatrice were raised with the understanding that giving back to their community is an integral part of their lives. She shared an anecdote about how she would often take her daughters outside in the freezing cold when they complained, to teach them the value of gratitude.
The Duchess also described how she took them to visit a unit run by the Teenage Cancer Trust on their 18th birthdays, to expose them to the challenges faced by others.
According to Fergie, she wanted to teach her children the importance of reaching out to those in need, particularly those facing difficult circumstances. By fostering empathy and compassion in her daughters, she aimed to prepare them for the responsibilities and privileges that came with their royal status.
