Sarah Ferguson has channelled Princess Kate style during an appearance in Australia.

The Duchess of York wore a polka dot frock as she stopped by Safety Bay High School and Waikiki Primary School in Perth to visit pupils during her visit to Australia.


The monochrome polka dot tea dress, similar to Kate’s Alessandra Rich gown that she wore to an event at Bletchley Park in 2019, consists of a large white contrasting collar and has pearl buttons.

The Princess of Wales donned a navy polka dot print maxi dress and had a statement white collar and silver buttons.

Sarah Ferguson signed dozens of Waikiki Primary School students’ posters, hats and books on Monday afternoon as part of her Australia tour to promote her new children’s book.

The former wife of Prince Andrew has written over 80 books, including several children’s picture books.

She planned to use the trip for her work with the Youth Impact Council, a non-profit organisation that aims to help different generations communicate.

The 64-year-old postponed her trip to Perth to avoid clashing with King Charles and Queen Camilla’s six-day royal tour of the nation last month.

The Duchess of York plans to use the trip for her work with a non-profit organisation, Youth Impact Council, that aims to help different generations communicate.

She said: “I will be visiting Australia at the end of October for my children’s books and for my work with the Youth Impact Council, a non-profit organisation that opens lines of communication across generations, bringing together future leaders.

She added: I am committed to listening and learning from the next generation.”

The duchess has two children, Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, who are currently spending time in the Middle East.

Princess Eugenie, an art director for Hauser & Wirth, travelled to Doha, where she visited the art centre M7 and toured the Ellsworth Kelly exhibition.

Her oldest sister, Princess Beatrice, travelled to Abu Dhabi for the ADIPEC Exhibition and Conference.

This comes just one week after the royal’s trip to Saudi Arabia for the Future Investment Initiative.

A reporter based in the Middle East, Jennifer Gnana, claimed the pregnant mother-of-one has become a “culture ambassador of sorts for the UK in the Middle East”.
