Sarah Ferguson is well-known for her work as a best-selling author and for the immense efforts she puts in to use her platform to celebrate the good work of others. And, even though she remains incredibly busy, the Duchess of York has still found the time to embark on an exciting new commercial venture.
The project has been inspired by her role as a grandmother to the children of her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Sarah’s four grandchildren are August and Ernest Brooksbank and Sienna and Athena Mapelli Mozzi, as well as this, she is also the step-grandmother of Princess Beatrice’s stepson, Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi.
Over the years, the Duchess has sold everything from fountain pens to food blenders and has carved out a successful career as both a children’s author and romantic novelist.
This new project, however, will see the Duchess become a producer of eco-friendly nappies.
As reported by Richard Eden at the Daily Mail, the Duchess said: “I’ve created an eco-friendly nappy. I think it’s very exciting, being a grandmother, because the more grandchildren I have, the more urgency there is for compostable diapers.”
A devoted grandmother, Sarah has often spoken with pride about the youngest members of her family. Speaking about her eldest grandson, August, she previously said: “Well, baby August is phenomenal. He’s a very strong little chap. August thinks I’m hysterical.
“And it’s so funny when I look at him because I make him laugh, and he goes all shy and flirts with me. Just shows you: boys. Boys!”
Meanwhile, during another interview with Metro, Sarah said: “I read them bedtime stories. 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.”
The Duchess also shared a glimpse into August’s relationship with his cousin, Sienna, on her podcast. Laughing about when they both came to visit, Sarah said: “The first thing is to make sure that there’s a paddling pool with a palm tree coming out of it which spouts water.
“Then you go into Daniel of Windsor again and you buy a bubble-making machine lawn mower. Of course, August thinks it’s his lawn mower so Sienna comes down and says ‘No, no it’s my lawnmower. And between the two of them, we have fisticuffs and I immediately am in Daniel of Windsor again buying another lawn mower.”
