In photos obtained by
the Daily Mail, the Duchess of York can be seen in an all-black ensemble
as she was joined by her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, to take in the vast
flowers left for her former mother-in-law.
Sarah Ferguson didn’t join her
daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice for
a walkabout in Balmoral, making Friday the first time the 62-year-old has
been seen since Her Majesty died.
The Duchess still lives with
her ex-husband at the Grade II-listed residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor, and it
has been reported that their property will welcome the monarch’s former
Corgis Muick and Sandy and Dorgi Candy.
Sarah paid tribute to Queen
Elizabeth on Instagram following her death. Next to a poignant picture showing
the monarch posing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace,
Sarah wrote: “I am
heartbroken by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. She leaves behind an
extraordinary legacy: the most fantastic example of duty and service and
steadfastness, and a constant steadying presence as our head of state for more
than 70 years.
“She has given her whole
life selflessly to the people of the UK and the Commonwealth.”
Sarah continued: “To me,
she was the most incredible mother-in-law and friend. I will always be grateful
to her for the generosity she showed me in remaining close to me even
after my divorce. I will miss her more than words can express.”
It is believed that Princess
Eugenie and Beatrice’s mother will attend the funeral of Her Majesty on Monday.
