Sarah Ferguson moves fans to tears with Princess Beatrice's birthday tribute

Sarah Ferguson has marked Princess Beatrice's 37th birthday with an emotional tribute, praising her daughter's strength, kindness, and devotion to family.

'Happy Birthday my darling Beatrice,' the Duchess wrote.

'There’s nothing quite like holding you in my arms and feeling the incredible bond we’ve shared since the day you were born. You continue to inspire me every single day with your strength, your kindness, and the beautiful way you love and care for your family.

Moments like this will never get old and I cherish them more than words can say. The hugs, the laughter, the quiet understanding between us. You make me so proud to be your mum, and I feel endlessly grateful for the woman you’ve become.'

The touching post came amid her notable public appearance at the opening of a UAE bank branch in London's Mayfair.
