Sarah Ferguson escapes to secluded beach as Duchess shares powerful mental health message

Sarah Ferguson escaped to a secluded Irish beach as she shared a powerful message about mental health.

The Duchess of York, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023 and a malignant melanoma in January, visited the beach in Donegal on Thursday (24 October).

In a TikTok video, she said: “Hello everybody! I'm here in Donegal and sometimes when I find things get sometimes overwhelming, I just try and take myself off to the most beautiful, wonderful blast of fresh air.

“Looking at the ocean, looking at the beach, looking at the shells. It’s great to be in the wind and just getting fresh air on my face.”
