Sarah Ferguson has issued a heartbreaking statement after it was announced a member of her staff had died.

The Duchess of York, 65, reposted a statement from her charity, Sarah’s Trust, founded in 2020 to provide financial support to community-based charities.


The statement read: “We would like to dedicate this post to Liz.

“Liz was a loyal member of The Duchess of York’s household, and she sadly died of cancer late last year. Liz was a beautiful woman, inside and out, and is sorely missed by all of us who had the good fortune of sharing our lives with her.

“Thank you Liz for bringing us so much joy. May you rest in peace.”

“May she rest in peace.”

Social media users flooded the comments, with one writing: “Liz was such a lovely person.

“She was so lovely. Liz will be missed.”

Another added: “So very sorry for your huge loss. Prayers for all.”

The Duchess of York divorced Prince Andrew in 1996, so she no longer carries out engagements on behalf of the Royal Family.

Sarah’s Trust is a non-profit organisation, which has since expanded its causes to include education, feeding programmes, and homeless support.
