Sarah Ferguson's Life-Changing Encounter with Queen Elizabeth and Breast Cancer
Sarah Ferguson revealed on her Tea Talks podcast that Queen Elizabeth II's last words to her were to "just be yourself." Ferguson explained that the queen could see through her disingenuous acts and encouraged her to live authentically. Following Elizabeth's passing, Ferguson felt a sense of liberation and openness to express herself without fear of offending others. The Duchess of York has always admired the queen, describing her as her "total idol" who had a remarkable ability to put people at ease.
