Sarah, Duchess of York has paid a special tribute to
her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, in honour
of Mother’s Day.
In the emotional post, the former wife of Prince Andrew
also touched upon her late mother Susan Barrantes and her older sister Jane
Ferguson.
Alongside a series of throwback pictures, Sarah wrote in
the caption: “Happy Mother’s Day to my dearest Mum, who died so young
at 61, to my dearest sister Jane (a superb mother) and to my girlies who are
amazing mothers.”
It wasn’t long before her Instagram followers filled the
comment section of her post with sweet messages. “Happy Mother’s Day!!
Think it ‘run’s in the family’. Just like your mum, your sister and daughters
you’re an amazing and strong mum,” said one, while another added:
“I’m sure she is standing by your side every day.”
Susan died in a car accident in 1998. She was living in
Argentina with her second husband Hector Barrantes when she was killed driving
from her polo farm. She had left Sarah – who was eight at the time – to be
raised by her father back in Hampshire, which caused friction between the two.
However, doting mum Sarah penned an extremely heartfelt
letter to her mother in 2015, saying that she had forgiven her. “It has
been 17 years since you departed on your last drive from the farm in
Argentina,” she wrote. “There is not a day that doesn’t go by
when I wish I could pick up the telephone and tell you what I have been doing.”
Meanwhile, Sarah’s youngest daughter Eugenie also paid a
heartwarming tribute to mark Mother’s Day. Alongside an image with her son and
a stunning portrait of Sarah, the royal captioned the images: “Happy
Mother’s Day to every mother out there.”
