Sarah Ferguson has released a heartfelt video from her charitable school visit in Peru, where she is supporting the educational initiative Misión Huascarán.

The Duchess of York shared the meaningful footage on June 2, filmed at a school located in the Andes mountains.


In the video, Fergie expressed her admiration for the project, saying: "I am at Misión Huascarán and it's incredible this school.

"I am here in the Andes in Peru, and it's just incredible."

She praised the work of Mariana and her team, highlighting the newly established library as a key achievement of the organisation.

Sarah described Misión Huascarán as a "remarkable" initiative that has been operating for 15 years to support rural communities through "education, health, and nutrition."

She emphasised the significance of the new community library, stating it "stands as a shining example of its impact."

The Duchess of York explained that the library "isn't simply a building; it's a safe, inspiring space where children can dream, learn, and shape their futures."

At the end of her message, Fergie made an appeal about children's rights, saying that it is the right of every child to get an education and to read.

The timing of Sarah's charitable video coincides with royal commentator Ingrid Seward suggesting that her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, will become increasingly important figures as the monarchy evolves.

The sisters, who have maintained a famously close bond with their mother, appear positioned to take on greater responsibilities in the coming years.

Seward told Hello! that Prince Andrew's daughters will possibly receive key roles in Prince William's reign.

She claimed: "When William ascends the throne, Beatrice and Eugenie will be valuable assets, and I'm certain they will get involved with royal duties."

The assessment suggests the York princesses could play significant roles in supporting the future monarch's responsibilities.

This development represents a potential shift in their royal standing, with both sisters appearing set to contribute more actively to official duties under William's leadership.
