For the first time in just seven months since her mother Sarah Ferguson was diagnosed with breast and skin cancer, her eldest daughter Princess Beatrice has spoken publicly about her health.

According to People, Beatrice was in New York for this interview, which was recorded on the roof of the Empire State Building. The chat highlights Beatrice's support for the Outward Bound Trust, an educational charity that works to empower young people through challenging learning expeditions, which Beatrice's grandfather, the late Philip Prince, was a supporter. Beatrice was on the roof of the Empire State Building for a reason, as the charity organized the first ever rappel from the building as a fundraiser.

In conversation, Beatrice said her mother, known formally as the Duchess of York and informally as Fergie, is "all clear" after last year's cancer one-two punch. 'She's a phenomenal icon,' Beatrice told Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle, who co-hosted the ITV show. 'As a mother, she's amazing. She's been through so much and her sense of purpose and resilience really keeps me going."

Beatrice continued, "I'm so proud of her. She's had some twists and turns with her health in the last year, but she's doing so much better now, she's 64 years old and she's doing great. She's been through a lot, but I think she's really starting to be herself now. We just remind any parent or individual to get the necessary checkups as early as possible when there is a health scenario."

Beatrice is the oldest of Prince Andrew and Fergie's two daughters and is very close to her sister, Princess Eugenie." My sister and I are very proud of her for taking such steps to get checked." Beatrice said, adding, "There is nothing more important than family." (In addition to her four biological family members, Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020 and became stepmother to his son Wolfie.)

Fergie was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in January, just six months after undergoing treatment for breast cancer and breast reconstruction surgery, Hello reported; in January, a spokesperson for the Duchess of York said, "Her dermatologist has been working with the Duchess to have post-mastectomy reconstruction surgery and some One of the moles was confirmed to be cancerous. She underwent further testing to ensure early detection." Obviously, it is heartbreaking that another diagnosis was made so soon after treatment for breast cancer, but the Duchess remains in good health."

Fergie told Harrow of her daughters. "We call each other 'the two of us, the three legs.'"

Royal commentator Phil Dampier told the Daily Mail, "Beatrice and her sister Eugenie are always very happy to talk about their very close mother," adding, "They are inseparable and always support each other through thick and thin."

Beaton said, "They are inseparable.

Beatrice is one of only two members of the Royal Family to have attended the Met Gala. Although she was in New York yesterday, the day of the Met, Bear was not the same attendee as she was six years ago when she made her Met debut wearing a purple Alberta Ferretti; in 2018, she was living in the Big Apple and revealed her love for the city in an interview with This Morning. " New York for me, when I was finding my life and what I wanted to do, New York gave me a place where I could have a job and just devote myself to it," she said. New York was a special place for me and for my mother. She came here and started a charity a long time ago. So for us, New York was always a wonderful city to spend time in."

She added that her "little ones" have "traveled phenomenally," but that she and her daughter, who turns 3 in September, "haven't worked up the courage to fly internationally yet."
