Sarah Ferguson is so excited to be a grandmother again, she wants the world to know.
Shortly after Buckingham Palace announced that their daughter Princess Beatrice is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the 64-year-old royal took to Instagram to commemorate the occasion with sweet family photos and personals. shared a statement. In the caption, she wrote, “So proud Gigi/Mom today. An incredible blessing and one that hugs my heart. Wolfie, August, Ernie and Sienna, the fifth member of the five I’m so happy to be here!”
In the family photo, which showed the Duchess, her daughter and granddaughter Sienna, 3, cozying up in what appears to be an outdoor garden, I noticed something very familiar. Both Mr. Ferguson and the princess appear to have taken a page from Duchess Kate’s parenting book.
In the first slide, Ferguson and Princess Beatrice, dressed in blue, are crouched down, facing eye-level with Sienna, who is wearing a white dress. Ms. Middleton did the same thing several times when talking to children. Talking to children on the same level creates a safe space for them to feel empowered and makes it easier to establish eye contact.
Just a few months ago, the Princess of Wales was spotted putting the popular parenting technique into practice while interacting with her daughter Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships.
In the photo, the princess is seen bending over to share a quick comment with the nine-year-old, who is standing in the Royal Box.
Now, back to Ferguson’s recent memorial. In addition to a subtle nod to Middleton, Ferguson also included a message of encouragement for his daughter over another photo of Beatrice and their child. It read, “Dearest Beatrice, words cannot describe the joy and excitement you and Ed are feeling as you prepare to welcome another special person to your beautiful family. Become a grandma again.” My heart is full of happiness and gratitude.”
She continued, “Watching you grow as a mother has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and now I couldn’t be more excited to watch your family blossom even further.” We are a blessing. Our family is growing and so is the love that surrounds us. I can’t wait to meet this little one and share the wonderful memories we will make together.”
The merry-go-round also includes another snap of Princess Beatrice pulling Kate, as she bends down to chat with Sienna. And in the final slide, there’s a lovely black-and-white photo of Ferguson hugging his two daughters.
One fan commented, “Congratulations to the whole family.” Another wrote: “Huge congratulations to you all! You truly are the greatest role models for your children and grandchildren!”
In conclusion, I couldn’t agree more.
