    In a recent interview with Hello! magazine, proud and protective mom Ferguson opened up about what it was like to share her previous cancer diagnosis with her two daughters.

    A post shared by Princess Eugenie (@princesseugenie)

    "I have always brought up my girls to be so honest and frank that they know I’m going to tell it to them straight, however difficult it is," the Duchess of York told the publication at the time. "So when they said, 'Mummy, tell us the absolute truth—have they got all the cancer out?' and the answer was yes, they knew they were safe."

    "I have the most exceptional family and I have an extraordinarily great team and I have an enormous ability to turn to joy," she added.
