Princess Eugenie became visibly emotional in a recent podcast appearance, opening up about the unwavering support of her mother, Sarah Ferguson—just days after Prince Harry made a public plea for reconciliation with the royal family.
Appearing alongside her sister, Princess Beatrice, on the Lessons From Our Mothers podcast, Eugenie reflected on the deep influence their mother has had on their lives. Fighting back tears, she shared a heartfelt moment about embracing her physical scar—a reminder of past medical struggles—thanks to her mother’s encouragement.
“She used to be so proud of me, my scar, and what I had been through,” Eugenie said. “If people ever were talking about it, she would turn me around and show them my scar… That is a real physical example of how a mom can show up for her daughter by changing negativity around. Brings tears to my eyes.”
The touching tribute highlighted the emotional strength and resilience passed down through generations in the York family. The timing of Eugenie’s remarks also stood out, coming shortly after her cousin, Prince Harry, gave an emotional interview to the BBC expressing his desire to reconnect with the royal family.
While Eugenie has long been considered one of Harry’s few remaining allies within the Firm, her latest appearance reflects a shift in tone—focusing instead on the women who have shaped her path, as the royal family’s divisions continue to play out publicly.
