Sarah Ferguson has lifted the lid and given a rare insight into her daughters’ children’s lives with a major Christmas update.
The Duchess of York, 65, is well and truly in the festive spirit and like most grandmothers she is ready to spoil her grandchildren this festive season “with sweets, toys and treats”.
“Grannies exist to spoil their grandchildren, don’t they? I’ll be stuffing their stockings with sweets, toys and treats. I think I’m as excited as they are,” the Duchess told Hello!
Sarah – affectionately dubbed Fergie by fans and friends – is grandmother to Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna, three, and stepson Wolfie, eight, as well as Princess Eugenie’s sons, August, three, and one-year-old Ernest.
And soon, Fergie will become a grandmother again as Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, is currently pregnant with her and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’s second child, with the baby set to be born in early spring.
When the pregnancy announcement was made in October, Eugenie was quick to take to social media to congratulate her sister and share a heartfelt message.
Sarah is not one to leave her Christmas shopping to the last minute as the Dutchess plans a “long way ahead” and she even has an adorable annual Christmas tradition.
She said: “I spot things I think people would like throughout the year and stash them away.
“Every year I also like to get special baubles made for everyone’s tree.”
Just a couple of days ago, Fergie shared a glimpse of her family outing at Windsor Great Park, in new footage she shared on her social media accounts.
With the big day fast approaching, it is likely that the Prince and Princess of Wales will spend this Christmas at Anmer Hall, a Georgian country house gifted to the couple by Queen Elizabeth II after their wedding in 2011.
Former BBC royal correspondent, Jennie Bond described possible Christmas scenes with the Wales family. She told OK! Magazine: “I think it is in their own family home that the Waleses let the kids run riot. So I think they’ll probably be tearing open their stockings and racing around their home at some ungodly hour on Christmas morning – just like kids up and down the country.”
