What Fergie really thinks about Princess Beatrice’s future husband

Sarah Ferguson has spoken about Princess Beatrice’s Italian fiancé, who was due to marry the royal family next month.

As billions of people around the world sink right now, the issue of loneliness and isolation has never been more pressing. If there is one person who intimately understands this problem, it is Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.

“I felt a great loss when my mother left,” the duchess told news.com.au, in an interview before the coronavirus pandemic took hold.

“What I did, from a very young age, was retire to other places and stories. I loved the flowers, the trees, and the ponies and entered a fantasy world and I was lucky enough to be able to do this. This is how I got over it.”

“Getting over it” is something the 60-year-old Duchess has become extremely adept at.

Sarah was 12 years old when her mother Susan left her husband Commander Ronald Ferguson for polo player Héctor Barrantes.

In adulthood, she faced life in the light of global spotlights when she married Prince Andrew in 1986 and then with intense sensational scrutiny.

In 1996 the sadness of divorce came, leaving Sarah to face the challenges of single parenthood. Also note that for the past two and a half decades, she has worked tirelessly to forge an international career as a writer, philanthropist, producer, and entrepreneur.

While countless articles have been written about the Duchess over the decades, there is one epithet that is used almost universally to describe her: Survivor.

Despite the curves he has faced over the years, his attitude is simple.

“Everyone will face challenges in their lives and what I have learned is that adversity can be your friend,” she says. “If you get hit, pick yourself up and push yourself. Have faith, confidence and conviction.”

That resistance is something that she has instilled in her sons, the daughters Princess Beatriz and Eugenia.

“I have always encouraged my children to look at life differently, to see the positive side of a problem and to understand that there is always a way ahead,” he says.

Now she wants to harness the power of fantasy to draw children to a colorful and vivid world of her own making. Earlier this year, he signed a seven-book deal with the Serenity Press of Australia comprising five illustrated books and two chapter books. The first of them will be published in mid-2020.

Her list of charming characters is inspired by some of the most important people in her life.

“The face of The Enchanted Oak is based on my father with his bushy eyebrows, kind eyes and wisdom,” he explains. “I love trees. When I first moved to London, before I got married, I felt lonely. Although I lived in a city, it was far from all that was familiar to me, and it was comforting to walk through the parks because I missed the countryside as well as my family. “

Meanwhile, the idea for Genie Gems goes back to her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie.

“Eugenie is strong, determined, and always looking for the truth in everything she does,” says Fergie. “In her work with the Anti-Slavery Collective it is a commitment that she is campaigning hard to give everyone a chance to have a voice, just like my heroine genius.”

Sarah is the author of more than 25 books and in her opinion, “more than ever, we need to tell stories now.”

“We learn a lot from the stories: we are entertained, educated, curious, our imagination takes hold,” he says. “I consider that social networks have become a sewer, where people say things that they would not have dreamed of saying face to face. I want my grandchildren to grow up in a world in which people respect the points of view of others. even if you don’t agree with them. “

Last month Princess Eugenie celebrated her thirtieth birthday, which the Duchess marked by sharing a personal photo of the princess taken during her 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank. Next month, she should have seen her oldest daughter, Princess Beatriz, also walking down the aisle to marry Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Unfortunately, like many other couples, they have now had to postpone their big day as the world faces the coronavirus outbreak.

For Sarah, the incorporation of these two men into York’s family life is just a blessing.

“Beatrice is the happiest I’ve ever seen her in, and she and Edo have great love for each other and a passion for life,” she says. “Instead of feeling like I’ve lost something, I feel like our family has grown by having Jack and Edo in it.”

As the world faces a troubled and troubled future, Sarah is getting stuck, posting a photo of her with sweet treats meant for front-line medical staff. Later, he asked his 260,000 followers to support the Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity with which the Duchess has long been involved, during the COVID-19 crisis.

Whether it is sitting down to creating a magical world for children or doing her part to help during a global crisis, Sarah is guided by a powerful maxim.

“I always remember my grandmother’s advice: ‘Once you have the courage to take a tentative first step toward your goal, the next ones are easier.'”
