Sarah Ferguson is marking World Health Day with an important message amid her and Princess Kate Middleton’s respective cancer battles.
“I would like to remind anyone who may be reading this to check in with yourself,” Ferguson, 64, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, April 7. “Check in on your state of mind and check in on your body.”
She concluded, “Go to your routine health check. Take that walk. Read a book. Your body and mind are a priority. Make sure to show them love.”
Us Weekly confirmed in January that the Duchess of York had been diagnosed with skin cancer several months after undergoing a mastectomy. (Ferguson was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer in June 2023, revealing the following December that she “beat” it.)

Several British royals have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer since the start of their family’s reign. Buckingham Palace announced in February 2024 that King Charles III received a cancer diagnosis one week after he was admitted to The London Clinic to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate. “During The King’s recent hospital procedure […]
“Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analyzed at the same time as the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous,” a rep for Ferguson told Us in a statement. “Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing but the Duchess remains in good spirits.”
It is an unprecedented time for the royal family as Ferguson, who was previously married to Prince Andrew, is one of three members of The Firm battling cancer. Kate, 42, and her father-in-law, King Charles III, have also been diagnosed with cancer. Neither the king, 75, nor Kate have disclosed what type of cancer they have but are both undergoing treatment.
