“He is exceptionally kind, and he is a very, seriously good grandfather. While other members of the royal family have distanced themselves from Andrew, and he has lost his working royal duties, Sarah has remained steadfastly loyal to the scandal-plagued, gaffe-prone Duke of York. In fact, it’s likely she’s recuperating there now, in the palatial pad that Charles has reportedly asked his brother to vacate as part of the same cost-cutting measures that saw Harry and Meghan lose Frogmore Cottage.

She was married to Prince Andrew, and despite the fact that they divorced in 1996, they continue to live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor. She’s gotten herself into hot water more than once in her enterprising, if not always well-advised, attempts to continue the lifestyle she’d become accustomed to as a royal. Her various attempts to earn a living - a children’s book, a TV series, a memoir, endorsement deals - might call to mind those of other, more recent ex-senior royals. Long a colourful, controversial figure in the Windsor-verse, she has been mercilessly teased by the tabloids, including the particularly vile “Duchess of Pork” era, when she was ridiculed for her weight. This news comes amid a renaissance of sorts for the duchess. “She is now recuperating with her family.”

“The Duchess is receiving the best medical care and her doctors have told her that the prognosis is good,” they told People. Ferguson’s spokesperson confirmed that she’d been diagnosed with an “early” form of breast cancer following a routine mammogram.
