Sarah Ferguson

Sarah Ferguson, known as the Duchess of York, is a bestselling author, philanthropist, and public speaker.

For over three decades, the Duchess has dedicated herself to children’s wellness and educational causes. She founded Children in Crisis in 1993, which has educated over 1.4 million children. Additionally, she established the Sarah Ferguson Foundation in 2007 to promote global education and wellness. Ferguson was a founder patron of Street Child when the two charities merged, recently stepping down from this role to focus on her international non-profit, Sarah’s Trust. This organization provided significant aid during the pandemic, supporting over 150,000 NHS, care homes, hospice, and emergency services staff.

The Duchess has been actively involved in various multimedia projects. She launched a daily YouTube show 'Storytime with Fergie and Friends' during the lockdown, gaining 20 million views and widespread distribution in children's hospitals in the UK and US. She co-founded Hartmoor, a lifestyle and media company in New York in 2006, focusing on wellness and supporting motherhood. Ferguson has also co-produced and served as an executive producer on films, including one about Queen Victoria's early years, scripted by Julian Fellowes. Her television work includes being a special correspondent for NBC's Today show and hosting segments on national talk shows.

Ferguson has authored over 70 books, including two autobiographies, historical novels such as "Her Heart for a Compass," and a series of children’s books. Her literary contributions extend to a 12-book Helping Hands series, aimed at aiding parent-child communication on sensitive topics, and her involvement in various TV and radio projects in the UK. She remains a respected speaker on topics ranging from health and personal growth to charity, often discussing leadership, motivation, and overcoming adversity in her engagements.

The Duchess continues to be a prominent figure in philanthropy and media, advocating for various causes and influencing discussions on wellness, family issues, and philanthropy at numerous speaking events around the world. She lives in Windsor with her family and is affectionately known as “Super Gran” for her dedication to children globally.
