Princess Beatrice spotted embracing pals during day out at final day of Glastonbury
PRINCESS Beatrice has been spotted embracing pals during her day out at the final day of Glastonbury.
Beatrice, 34, was seen hugging friends in the hospitality area between stages at the festival.
She was dressed in a long-sleeved black top, a black skirt, white Adidas trainers – as well as a pink wristband and a black bumbag.
Prince Andrew’s daughter smiled before heading for the Left Field area of the festival fields – as the final night of the festival kicks off.
Sir Elton John will close Glastonbury with what he said will be his “completely unique” farewell concert.
Beatrice’s sister Princess Eugenie has been to Glastonbury, with Prince Harry and then-girlfriend Cressida Bonas also snapped at Worthy Farm in 2013.
But perhaps the most unexpected royal reveller at the festival is King Charles, who waved to fans from the Pyramid Stage in 2010.
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Beatrice and Eugenie’s mum Sarah Ferguson had an operation after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The Duchess of York, 63, was delivered the cancer news after a recent routine mammogram, it is understood.
Sarah, known as ‘Fergie’ was released from hospital today and is now recovering at home with her family in Windsor.
But friends have described the operation at King Edward VII hospital in Marylebone, Central London, as “successful”.
One revealed that Fergie has been told that the “prognosis is good” thanks to the “early detection”.
The breast cancer was spotted early due to routine screening and she spent several days in a London hospital this week, they said.
A friend said: “It’s been a difficult time but she is very grateful to the medical staff who carried out the mammogram and detected it early and the medical staff who looked after her these last few days, she is incredibly thankful.”
She is said to be back home at Royal Lodge recuperating with her family, including Prince Andrew, 63, and daughter Beatrice, 34, and Eugenie, 33.
Sarah, a grandmother-of-three, was notably missing this week from attending Royal Ascot due to her cancer operation.
Before going into hospital, the duchess spoke about her diagnoses on her new podcast ‘Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah’, which will be aired tomorrow.
The conversation was recorded before she underwent surgery and was due to be aired on Thursday but postponed until she was discharged.
Sarah is a patron for Teenage Cancer Trust and spoke at a Breast Cancer Foundation gala four years ago.
In 2021, Sarah visited a clinic in Poland to address the issue of women recovering after receiving a mastectomy.
A spokesman for the Duchess said: “Sarah, Duchess of York was recently diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer detected at a routine mammogram screening.
“She was advised she needed to undergo surgery which has taken place successfully.
“The Duchess is receiving the best medical care and her doctors have told her that the prognosis is good. She is now recuperating with her family.
“The Duchess wants to express her immense gratitude to all the medical staff who have supported her in recent days.
“She is also hugely thankful to the staff involved in the mammogram which identified her illness, which was otherwise symptom free, and believes her experience underlines the importance of regular screening.”
Ex-husband Prince Andrew has not been seen in public this week and attended only the private aspects of the Order of the Garter Day ceremony last Monday.
Her eldest daughter Princess Beatrice attended Royal Ascot on Tuesday and Friday with husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi.
It is thought they are rallying around the Duchess at Royal Lodge, in Windsor.
Andy and Fergie, who divorced in 1996 but lived together since 2008, have been threatened with eviction from their 31-room mansion on the Windsor estate.
Every year around 11,500 women and 85 men die from breast cancer in the UK – that’s nearly 1,000 deaths each month.
Breast cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in the UK.
