Sarah Ferguson ‘Likes to Party’ With Her Daughters’ ‘Rookie’ Husbands
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s mother Sarah Ferguson has been spotted at a number of royal events over the last few years but she did not make an appearance at any of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. That was expected though after Prince Andrew was barred from any prominent role and tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).
So while Sarah didn’t celebrate the Jubilee publicly, she may have with her family privately since the Duchess of York admitted that she does likes “partying” with her daughters’ “rookie” husbands. Here’s what she said about her unique relationship with her sons-in-law.
Who Sarah’s daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie married
On Oct. 12, 2018, Sarah’s youngest daughter said “I do” to Jack Brooksbank. The couple, who had been dating for several years, were married at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. They had 800 guests in attendance and the bride wore a dress designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos. The gown featured a wide-neck V shape with folded shoulders and a low back.
On Feb. 9, 2021, Eugenie and Brooksbank welcomed their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
Eugenie’s sister Beatrice’s wedding was a more low-key affair as she and Edoardo “Edo” Mapelli Mozzi wed when lockdown restrictions for the coronavirus pandemic were in place. After having to postpone their wedding once, the pair decided to tie the knot in a private and intimate ceremony on July 11, 2020, at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. The bride wore a vintage Norman Hartnell dress that actually belongs to her grandmother, the queen.
On Sept. 18, 2021, the palace announced that Beatrice and Edo welcomed their daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi.
Sarah says she likes ‘partying’ with ‘rookie sons-in-law’
In an interview with OK! Magazine, Sarah opened up about Beatrice and Eugenie’s “rookie” husbands and how she enjoys “partying” with them.
“With regards to partying, I have the best rookie sons-in-law,” she told the publication (per Express).
The duchess then pointed out that Eugenie’s husband was once the brand ambassador for Casamigos tequila, happily sharing “one used to work for a tequila company.”
Fergie also spoke about Beatrice’s hubby and how long she’s known him and his family.
“They’ve got great friends and a lot of their friends are my friends. Yeah, I love my son-in-law. I’ve known Edo all my life. I’m his brother’s godmother,” Sarah said before adding, “I like partying.”
Eugenie and Brooksbank aren’t living in the U.K. full-time anymore
Now that Brooksbank doesn’t work for the tequila company anymore he got a new job that has taken him, Eugenie, and their son out of the U.K. at least part-time anyway.
The princess’s husband accepted a position in Portugal working for American entrepreneur Mike Meldman, who is a business partner of George Clooney‘s. Brooksbank will reportedly act as a brand ambassador for CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club, a luxury resort on the Portuguese coast.
