In Conversation with Sarah, Duchess of York, On Stage
A real-life fairy-tale: one woman’s extraordinary and surprising untold story of navigating life in the public eye with kindness and resilience.
Witness a personal account of Fergie’s life, times, and observations.
Hosted by Ray Martin, In Conversation with Sarah, Duchess of York will see Sarah discuss her childhood, growing up in the countryside, then moving to London, meeting Prince Andrew, love and marriage. The Duchess will talk about the dark times, her learnings, and a great deal that we don’t know about her, which will surprise and delight audiences – having a helicopter licence, her charity work across the world, and her creation of characters such as Budgie the Little Helicopter and Little Red. She will discuss her career as an author, how her latest Mills & Boon books are inspired by her ancestors and draw on her unique life journeys and experiences.
Sarah, Duchess of York, said: “I am so excited to be coming to Australia to share stories of my life. Australia has been home to my sister for many decades and I see it as a second home. I always feel a weight lift off my shoulders when I arrive Down Under. The Australian people have always supported me and treated me with kindness. It’s a place where I can be myself. I look forward to seeing lots of you at the show.”
The Duchess is mother to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie of York and is a grandmother twice over. She is lovingly referred to as “Super Gran” for her passionate dedication to the hearts of children all over the world. She lives in Windsor with five Norfolk terriers and two corgis.
