Sarah Ferguson was delighted to receive so much support and kindness from her fans all over the world in recent weeks and we are delighted for her. It's been a whirlwind few months for Sarah, the Duchess of York after the publication of her latest novel A Most Intriguing Lady and of course, the news she was going to become a granny again as Princess Eugenie is expecting her second child.
The mother-of-two has enthused she cannot wait to continue her journey as a granny, as well as an author and a mum. This Easter weekend, the novelist had even more to celebrate as she marked another special milestone with the whole world watching on. The writer celebrated her Instagram reaching a total of 500,000 loyal followers. Sarah thanked all her fans for supporting her. She wrote: "500k followers! Thank you all so much for your support and kind words. I'm so excited to continue my journey as an author, mum, and granny with you all."
Many of her fans were quick to share their delight at her success. Among the comments, one wrote: "It looks like you are entering the best years of your life. Enjoy!" Others added: "You are truly amazing Sarah, always have been a fan of yours and you & all you do x."
"You are an amazing lady. As a fellow author of historical fiction in Canada, I loved your book My Heart for a Compass and now look forward to reading about that intriguing lady!" "Fabulous Sarah, & I love the reference granny."
Months before becoming a grandmother again, Sarah told HELLO! that she is most proud of her daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie being such fantastic mums. She said: "They are strong, independent women with their own careers. They are well-adjusted, level-headed women who like me, want to make a difference in other people's lives. I'm often asked whether I am a proud grandmother, and of course I adore my grandchildren, but what I'm most proud of is that my daughters have turned out to be such wonderful mothers."
Speaking from the heart, Sarah talked openly about her close bond with her girls. "Our relationship is founded on honesty. My daughters know that I will always tell them the truth, and that means we have no fear in our relationship. It is grounded in trust and of course, a deep bond of love," she added. "We have three words that we live by: communicate, compromise, compassion."
