Princess Beatrice says her mom Sarah Ferguson is in the “clear” after battling two types of cancer in the last year.
The 35-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York provided the update as a guest Monday on ITV’s “This Morning.”
"She's doing really well,” Beatrice informed hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle. “She's had a bumpy health scare last year but, no, all clear now. At 64 she's thriving.”
Ferguson revealed her diagnosis with "early form of breast cancer" in June 2023 for which she underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Then in January, the royal who was married to Andrew from 1986 to 1996, went public with her skin cancer diagnosis.

“She's been through so much, but I think really now she's coming into her own,” Beatrice said Monday. “We're just reminded when any parent or individual has a health scenario, just really get the checks that you need to get, and as early as you possibly can. Both my sister and I are so proud of her for taking those steps to get those checks.”
Doyle acknowledged it’s been “a tough year” for the British royals “across the board.”
“There's nothing more important than family,” Beatrice responded.
Ferguson said her second cancer diagnosis came as “a shock” in a Jan. 22 Instagram post, “but I’m in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support.”
“I am incredibly thankful to the medical teams that have supported me through both of these experiences with cancer and to the MAYRLIFE Clinic for taking gentle care of me in the past weeks, allowing me time for recuperation,” she added. “I am resting with family at home now, feeling blessed to have their love and support.”

Ferguson also used Instagram to share her public condolences with Princess Kate, who revealed her own cancer battle in March. “All my thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales as she starts her treatment,” Ferguson wrote. “I know she will be surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome. 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.”
King Charles III, who has also been battling cancer, resumed his public engagements April 30.
