As cancer continues to rock the Royal family with both King Charles and Kate Middleton currently battling the disease, one royal who has everything to smile about is Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, who recently revealed a huge health update.
The 64-year-old Duchess revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023 and underwent a mastectomy to have the cancer removed. Following the operation, Sarah later underwent a reconstruction procedure, but during the surgery doctors noticed an unusual skin lesion which was sadly later identified as malignant melanoma.
With two cancer diagnoses in a matter of months, Fergie’s health woes were a huge source of worry for the royal and her two daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, however she has since revealed a positive step in her recovery - even though doctors have advised her not to say she is ‘cancer-free.’

In a new interview, Sarah has revealed that although she hasn't undergone chemotherapy her lifestyle has seen some modificationsReflecting on the moment she told the news to her daughters that the cancer had been removed, the Duchess told Hello!: ”I have always brought up my girls to be so honest and frank that they know I’m going to tell it to them straight, however difficult it is. So when they said, 'Mummy, tell us the absolute truth — have they got all the cancer out?' and the answer was yes, they knew they were safe."

Yet while the cancer may have been removed, there have been some changes to Sarah’s day to day routine, although thankfully it hasn’t involved any chemotherapy.
Opening up about her day to day life now, Sarah told the publication: "I have to be checked regularly, and I have to put cream on my face to get out past sun damage, which means big blisters on my face, chest and hands for three weeks. But I'm not doing immunotherapy, taking any drugs or doing chemotherapy, for which I'm very grateful.”
She then elaborated further on how her outlook on life had changed since her diagnosis as she added: "It gave me a swift kick in the butt and told me, 'Right, are you going to start living now, at 64, or are you going to keep on not quite living?' You don't have to be what everyone wants you to be: just be yourself.”
