Sarah Ferguson expressed her pride in her daughter Princess Eugenie recently, and on Sunday, she had more cause to admire her youngest child as she marked her 34th birthday.
Sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram, the proud mother accompanied it with a heartwarming photo capturing a moment between them, seated on a boulder in the countryside, with Sarah embracing her daughter affectionately.
In the caption, the Duchess wrote: “Happy birthday to my amazing daughter @princesseugenie. I am so proud of the incredible woman you have grown up to be.
“You continue to amaze me every day in your hard work, your grace, kindness, and the care you show to others. You will always be my silly, sweet, smart, and thoughtful girl. I love you, Eugenie. Happy birthday.”
The lovely photo message come soon after the Princess opened up about her close relationship with her mum and revealed the sweet way she addresses Sarah.
During a recent chat for The Anti-Slavery Collective, a charity that the Princess co-founded with close friend Julia de Boinville, the royal called her mother “mumsy”.
“You are a huge inspiration to me and Beatrice and Jules, my co-founder of The Anti-Slavery Collective,” she added as they marked Mother’s Day this month. “Your mission from the very beginning of time, before Beatrice and I were born, has been to impact other people’s lives around the world. And it’s been such an inspiration to me growing up.”
Gushing with pride, Sarah said: “I’m just really proud of Beatrice and Eugenie and my Julia, my girlies”.
She continued: “They say on the aeroplane, put the oxygen mask on yourself and then help the child. I think the best example of what I see sitting here today is that I taught you on your 18th birthday, when you went to the teenage cancer unit…
“I think it was the greatest present I ever gave you, because you understood how lucky you were and I believe that one of the finest things I’ve ever done in my life is making you and Beatrice the people you are, by guiding you through philanthropy and impact…”
She went on to say: “I want to be proud [of] you, I mean it’s the best thing I’ve ever done”.
While Princess Eugenie calls the author, “mumsy,” Sarah has an adorable nickname for her second born, “Eugie”.
To celebrate Beatrice’s 31st birthday in August 2019, Eugenie uploaded a carousel of images, including this sweet selfie of the pair on a country walk. She wrote: “You have been bossing it since before I was born and continue to be the most wonderful person, friend and big sister…” The royal affectionately concluded the caption: “Happy Birthday to you Beabea!! Xx.”
