The mother of Princess
Beatrice and Princess Eugenie has been announced as a co-founder
of a new independent production house called Vestapol Films, based in the
French capital.
Sarah will be working
alongside Cyril Cadars and Mark Gill, along with Gertjan Rooijakkers. The
Duchess of York is known for her charitable work as well as production.
The company is currently
producing a comedy, The Paris Quintet, which will star actress Fanny Sidney. Sarah
has already proved her talents behind the camera, having co-directed The Young
Victoria back in 2009.
The mother-of-two also had a
starring role in front of the lens for a royal documentary on the life of
Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, the mother of Queen Victoria’s
husband, Prince Albert, which aired in September 2019.

Sarah is incredibly creative,
and along with working in films, she has also proved her talents in writing,
having written a number of children’s books, including Little Red and Tea for
Ruby.
The 62-year-old is also
releasing the paperback version of her book, Her Heart for a Compass, and
recently confessed how much she loves reading to her grandchildren, August and
Sienna.
“I read them bedtime
stories,” she told Metro.
Sarah’s new company Vestapol Films is based in Paris
“August is such a little
chap, and I’m playing trucks with him – but if he prefers to play with Barbie
dolls in the future, that’s fine.”
Her youngest daughter Princess
Eugenie, 32, and her husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their first child, a boy
called August, in February 2021.
The mother-of-two is incredibly talented
She said: “Sienna, she’s
very, very beautiful. It’s so funny because when August smiles at me now,
because he’s seven and a half months, you actually know he genuinely likes you.
It’s not a put-on smile, he genuinely finds me very funny which is quite
lucky.”
