Sarah Ferguson is
enjoying life as a royal grandmother. The 62-year-old has given fans a small
insight into her personal life with little August and Sienna.
The author, who is releasing
the paperback version of her first book, Her Heart for a Compass,
confessed how much she loves reading to her grandchildren.
“I read them bedtime
stories,” she told Metro. “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.”
It’s hardly surprising Sarah
loves to read to the royal children as she launched her Storytime With
Fergie And Friends YouTube channel at the start of the first lockdown in
2020. The project sees her reading a traditional children’s story daily, as
well as sharing arts and crafts ideas and fun recipes.
Her youngest daughter Princess
Eugenie, 32, and her husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their first child, a boy
called August, in February 2021. Meanwhile, eldest daughter Princess Beatrice,
33, had baby Sienna with husband Edoardo Mozzi in September 2021.
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.

Her Heart for a Compass by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York
“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.”
