Sarah Ferguson has shared a glimpse of her trip to New York in the wake of her daughter Princess Eugenie being pulled into her ex-husband Prince Andrew's spy scandal.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the mother-of-two uploaded a snapshot of herself taking a picture of the towering Empire State Building jutting up into the brilliant blue sky.

While it's not known why the 65-year-old was jetting across the pond, Sarah previously visited New York back in September 2024 during Climate Week. She joined forces with Sabrina Elba to lead a discussion for Global Citizen NOW Health & Climate Financing Sessions while also supporting her elder daughter Princess Beatrice as she launched her Youth Impact Council organisation.

In a video published by The Telegraph, the 34-year-old royal is seen on-stage at the event in the ballroom of The Ritz-Carlton hotel in the Japanese capital in November last year.
The Princess was reportedly already in Japan on a work trip for Hauser & Wirth, the international art gallery where she has worked since 2015. About 1,000 Japanese businessmen were in the audience.
According to the publication, the Duke is said to have agreed on a commercial partnership with a Dutch company, effectively selling them contacts and networks made prior to his fall from grace.

Prince Andrew hit the headlines once again last year after a High Court hearing revealed alleged Chinese spy Mr Tengbo, who was banned from the UK, was said to have been a "close" confidant.

The event, attended by Eugenie last year, was reportedly run by Innovate Global jointly with Startupbootcamp (SBC), the Dutch-based conglomerate that funds start-up businesses around the world.
