Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has responded when being asked about how Princess Kate and King Charles are doing following them both being diagnosed with cancer.

The 64-year-old appeared on Good Morning Britain on June 5 to talk about her own health, when she was asked about the senior Royals by hosts Martin Lewis and Susanna Reid.

Susanna said: “We’ve asked how you are, but how is the King? And how is Princess Kate?” Sarah replied: “Well, I mean this is what’s so amazing.

“I am so, so proud of the King going to CRUCK, the Cancer Research UK, and becoming the royal patron and going out there and talking to all these people. It gives everybody that wonderful feeling that they are being listened to, and I thought that was very brave of him to do that.”

She went on to add a response about Kate Middleton too, as she said: “The lovely Princess Catherine doing the video was so brave. I think family unity is an extraordinary thing and I’m honestly just so proud and I just send them lots of love and lots of support.”

Responding to Susanna asking how she is feeling, the Sarah replied: “All these years I’ve been thinking ‘am I good enough? Am I this, am I that? Do I get my finances right? Do I do this?’

“And actually suddenly now with a mastectomy and then with malignant melanoma, every single day, it’s not a wake up call, it’s now a new normal. You can never say you’re cancer free but you can say that I’m doing well Susanna, and I’m very lucky, but I really am determined.”

Susanna thanked the Duchess as she said she got her own health checked after a previous warning. The TV host shared that she went for a mammogram as she said: “I had been avoiding it because I was worried and it wasn’t the painful experience that I had in my head that it was – so thank-you. [It was] All clear, thank goodness.”
