The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, is currently recuperating with her family after undergoing an operation following a diagnosis for breast cancer, according to her spokesman. The 63-year-old former wife of Prince Andrew received the news after a routine mammogram screening. Her spokesman stated that she was advised to undergo surgery, which has been successful. Her doctors have given her a positive prognosis. The duchess is now receiving the best medical care and is recovering with her family.
The procedure took place earlier this week at King Edward VII hospital, a private clinic in central London that has previously treated other senior royals, including the late Queen Elizabeth II. The duchess has since returned home to Windsor, where she is currently recovering.
In her new podcast called Tea Talk, which was released on Monday, the duchess is expected to discuss her diagnosis in a pre-recorded interview. Her spokesman expressed her immense gratitude to all the medical staff who have supported her during this time. The statement also highlighted that the duchess had been symptom-free before the screening and believes that her experience emphasizes the importance of regular screening.
Despite their divorce in 1996 after 10 years of marriage, the duchess and Prince Andrew remain close and continue to live together at Royal Lodge, a property owned by the Crown Estate at Windsor Great Park. They have two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as well as three grandchildren.
The duchess has also found success as a writer, with her most recent novel, “A Most Intriguing Lady,” becoming a Sunday Times bestseller earlier this year.
While the duchess maintains good relations with her royal former in-laws, she was not invited to the King’s Coronation on May 6th. However, she was pictured at the concert event held at Windsor the following day.
Breast cancer detection and treatment have made significant progress in recent years. According to analysis by the British Medical Journal, the majority of women whose breast cancer is detected early now beat the disease. Surgery is the primary method of curing breast cancer, while chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy can reduce the long-term risk of dying in cases where some disease remains.
If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, support and advice are available via the BBC Action Line.
