Sarah Ferguson has shared some endearing new details
about her royal grandchildren, Princess Eugenie’s one-year-old son August
and Princess Beatrice’s eight-month-old daughter Sienna.
In a new interview, the former wife of Prince Andrew opened
up about her role as grandmother, revealing that her grandchildren have been to
stay with her “many times”.
Talking to The Sunday Express S Magazine for
her new book Her Heart for a Compass, Sarah said that she reads to her
grandchildren when they stay over with her, divulging: “I get quite
animated when I read children’s stories. Augie thinks I’m hilarious!”
The royal added that the children haven’t decided on a name
for her yet, such as grandma or granny, due to their young age but she’ll be
happy with whatever they settle on.

Sarah also gave an insight into dinner times with her
grandchildren, explaining: “I’m always there to pick up the broccoli
when it goes flying at mealtimes!”
And in another adorable anecdote, Sarah told the publication

grandchildren – how sweet.

Asked how gratifying it has been to watch both her
daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, become mothers, Sarah
responded: “My children are phenomenal mothers. They were great
children but now they’re phenomenal mothers. And now, I have these two
exceptional grandchildren all in one year.
“You know it’s pretty incredible, but everyone asks
me, ‘How are your grandchildren?’ Well, firstly, I look at my girls being
wonderful mothers and then I see these incredible beings.”
