Sarah Ferguson thanks ‘beautiful’ Samoa for ‘having her: Duchess of York shares photo from trip as she visits women’s leadership group among others
Sarah Ferguson shared a series of photos on Instagram from a trip to Samoa, calling the country “beautiful.”
Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, 64, has shared a series of images over the past two days, tagging some of the organizations she visited.
One of the groups mother-of-two Sarah met was the Poutasi Women’s Committee.
In the photos from the engagement, the Duchess of York wrote: “Beautiful Samoa, thank you for having me!
‘I have great appreciation for the Poutasi Women’s Committee, who welcomed me with open arms to their village and their church. It was an honor to experience a beautiful FiaFia @sinaleireefresort and get to know some local customs and traditions.

Meanwhile, a series of photos shared by the Duchess a day earlier show her wearing a flower behind her ear during an appearance at Brown Girl Woke in Samoa.
Sarah captioned the footage discussing how they will work together, writing: ‘From environmental conservation to honoring indigenous wisdom, the impact these young leaders are having in the South Pacific is truly inspiring.
“I look forward to @browngirlwoke and @sarahs_trust_ working together and seeing what we can achieve TOGETHER!”
According to Brown Girl Woke, it “recruits, trains and mentors college students and young professionals who meet critical community needs in education, public safety, health and the environment.”
It “runs many different programs focused on youth development, arts and music development, and women’s empowerment, to name a few.”

She praised the group, writing in the caption that “from environmental conservation to honoring indigenous wisdom, the impact these young leaders are having in the South Pacific is truly inspiring.”
The posts follow another set of images Sarah shared from Samoa a week ago, following an engagement meeting with an environmental organization.
Sarah shared a collection of photos of herself wearing flower garlands and meeting different people, praising the organization in her caption.
She wrote: “I am honored to attend the launch of Women of Waste in Samoa and learn that plastic pollution is not just an environmental crisis; it is a threat to life itself.
“Pacific Islanders like Samoa, with their unique strengths and vulnerabilities, can be the torchbearers of collective action towards a planet without plastic waste.
‘What an inspiring morning with these amazing women and youth leaders.’
