Princess Eugenie Pens Mother's Day Tribute to Sarah Ferguson and 'All Amazing Mothers Out There'
Princess Eugenie is giving mom Sarah Ferguson a special shout-out for Mother’s Day.
On Sunday, the royal shared a sweet tribute to her mother on Instagram in honor of Mother’s Day in the U.K., posting some adorable throwback photos of her and older sister, Princess Beatrice.
“Happy Mother’s Day!! 🥳 Today I want to celebrate my mumma but also all the amazing mothers out there,” the 29-year-old wrote.
In her note, Eugenie honored to all mothers around the world — especially those working in the health care industry who have separated from their families to care for patients affected by the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
“I would like to celebrate all the mothers that can’t be with their children today because they are saving lives or keeping their distance to keep them and their children safe,” she said.
“Today and every day we should tell our loved ones how much we love and cherish them. #happymothersday #happy #mother,” the daughter of Prince Andrew added.
