Sarah Ferguson shares special Christmas message in festive snap

Sarah Ferguson has marked the festive season by sharing a warming message on social media. The Duchess of York is known to share a close bond with both her girls and like most mother’s she can’t help but gush with pride about the accomplished young ladies they’ve grown into.

The 59-year-old posted a collection of black and white photos showing her daughters, their father Prince Andrew, Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank and a lovely snap from the wedding.

Sarah wrote: “Happy happy times this holiday season and big New Year celebrations… thank you for such a year of goodness to my family.”

Another added: “Such a lovely photo. Merry Christmas.” And a third wrote: “What a wonderful year you’ve had.”

The proud mother also shared another snap of her two daughters, with the caption: “So proud of my girls… Happy Christmas everyone.”

The sisters joined the Queen for an annual Christmas Day church service in Sandringham on Tuesday. Eugenie wore a very festive red and black dress for the occasion and held her husband’s hand for the important stroll, joining the rest of the British royal family at church as crowds of well-wishers gathered outside the Church of St Mary Magdalene within the grounds of the Queen’s estate in Norfolk, UK.

Meanwhile Beatrice, who wore a navy dress, walked alongside Princess Anne’s daughter-in-law Autumn Phillips, who was joined at the event by her husband Peter and their children Isla and Savannah, and Beatrice’s father Prince Andrew.

Elsewhere Meghan showed off her blossoming baby bump in a figure-hugging navy dress, by celebrity designer Victoria Beckham, while she beat the bitter British cold in a long navy military-style coat, which she wore open at the front and an elegant feathered headpiece.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose first child is expected in the spring, walked alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after the ceremony, having left their three young children at home for the morning.

Catherine looked stunning in a 1940s-style crimson red coat, buttoned up at the front, with a matching headband and gloves in the same shade of red.

The two young couples were joined by the Prince of Wales as they walked through the grounds after the service, however the Duchess of Cornwall was notably missing from the annual event due to a cold.
