Sarah Ferguson's 1996 parenting goals for her daughters revisited
A recent report has revisited a 1996 interview in which Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, discussed her parenting philosophy regarding her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
During the interview with CTV, Ferguson expressed a desire to teach her daughters to “show emotion” and “be themselves.” She shared an anecdote about teaching Princess Eugenie to learn from mistakes early in life, noting that she wanted her children to experience lessons at a younger age than she had at 37.
Ferguson’s relationship with the Royal Family has faced significant changes. Following allegations regarding her ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, she was stripped of her official royal titles at the end of 2025 and has since remained out of the public spotlight.
