The Princess of Wales announced last week that she had received a cancer diagnosis.
Sarah Ferguson shared a public statement sending her “thoughts and prayers” to Kate Middleton after the Princess of Wales disclosed her cancer diagnosis on Friday.
“I know she will be surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome,” the Duchess of York, also known as “Fergie,” wrote on her Instagram account on Monday.
“As someone who has faced their own battles with cancer in recent months, I am full of admiration for the way she has spoken publicly about her diagnosis and know it will do a tremendous amount of good to raise awareness,” Ferguson wrote.
She added that she hopes Kate “will now be given the time, space and privacy to heal.”
Ferguson was formerly married to Prince Andrew, who is Kate’s uncle by marriage. Ferguson and Andrew divorced in 1996.
