‘Happy Birthday my dear mumsy!’ Princess Eugenie shares tribute to her mother Sarah Ferguson

Princess Eugenie has shared a touching birthday greeting with her ‘dearest mum’ Sarah Ferguson.

The 32-year-old royal posted on Instagram the message to the Duchess of York, who turned 63 on October 15.

Eugenie shared a selection of candid photos of her mother and captioned them.

It read: ‘Half an hour to go from October 15, 2022, but better late than never… Congratulations my dear mama!’

Four photos shared by the princess, all taken in the countryside, showed Sarah posing with her daughters and alone.

The first image in the post showed the Duchess and her daughter both beaming and looking fresh in casual attire, as if taken on a country walk.

The Duchess can be seen alone in two other photos. In one she sits on a rock in a stream, while in another she seems to be stumbling through a forest.

A fourth photo shows Sarah posing next to both her daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice, as well as Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank.

Meanwhile, the royal herself celebrated her birthday on Instagram by sharing a series of heartwarming photos of her cuddling up with the Queen’s corgis – Muick and Sandy the ‘gift that keeps on giving’.

The Duchess of York adopted the animals with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, 62, after the monarch’s death last month, and now cares for the two dogs at their Royal Lodge home near Windsor Castle.

Muick and Sandy touched the hearts of millions as they attended the Queen’s funeral last month as they waited outside Windsor Castle for Her Majesty’s procession to pass.

Yesterday morning, the mother of two posted a series of photos with her 392,000 Instagram followers from one of their recent walks around the royal estate.

‘The gifts that keep on giving…’: Sarah Ferguson (pictured) posted a series of heartwarming photos featuring the Queen’s corgis on the morning of her 63rd birthday

The two corgis, Sandy and Muick (pictured) touched people’s hearts when they were spotted outside Windsor Castle waiting for the Queen’s coffin procession after her funeral at Westminster Abbey last month

Her Majesty’s love for corgis was well known and after she got one of the dogs for her 18th birthday, she kept the breed for the rest of her life

In her first message, Sarah was depicted lying on the grass with the Queen’s two beloved dogs standing next to her.

She captioned the image: “The presents that keep on giving…”

The Duchess then shared a carousel with five more photos – showing the dogs enjoying a cuddle with their new human.

In addition to wishing Sarah on her birthday, the followers were thrilled to see the dogs being looked after so well.

“How heartbreakingly beautiful,” commented one fan. “They’re in safe, soft hands with Sarah.”

“I’m so glad they’re both with you now, Sarah,” added another. “Poor babies.”

“Please keep us informed about them,” wrote a third. “Good to see they’re doing well.”

Earlier this month, the Duchess said being asked to look after Sandy and Muick was a “great honour,” the Telegraph.

Sarah said at the Henley Literary Festival that she is well aware that the two new additions to her household are “national treasures” who are “well educated.”

Since Sarah and Andrew already shared five Norfolk terriers, the two corgis had to integrate with them.

She said, “They’re all balancing, the carpet moves when I move, but I’m used to it now.”
