Sarah Ferguson Says ‘Family Unity is Key’ amid Charles and Kate’s Treatments [Video]

Sarah Ferguson says that family comes first as King Charles and Kate Middleton receive cancer treatment. 

Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet at the 2024 amfAR Gala, held each year during the Cannes Film Festival, the Duchess of York, 64, opened up about family togetherness when asked if she’s been able to offer support to the King, 75, and Princess of Wales, 42, amid their cancer diagnoses.

“I think family unity is key… I think the key to life is that we all support each other,” says the Duchess of York. 

“And also forgiveness is a great thing. I think forgiveness of yourself, and forgiveness of others,” she adds.

King Charles recently resumed forward-facing duties after Buckingham Palace announced that he was diagnosed with cancer and began treatment in February, while Princess Kate remains outside of the spotlight after sharing the news of her own cancer diagnosis in March.
