The Duchess of York’s post comes just months after she opened up about the reality of battling two types of cancer simultaneously.

Speaking with The Times, Sarah talked about her experience of being diagnosed with both breast and skin cancer within the span of a year.

“It was hard. I’m generally a positive person, but cancer is like a bomb going off in your life,” the royal shared. 

“One diagnosis is enough to deal with, but I had two in the space of a year. I don’t mind admitting that my mind went to some dark places, reflecting on my own mortality.”

“My family have been an immense support to me through this period,” she told the outlet.

“I’ve used meditation and mindfulness to help stay positive and balanced.”

The royal was recently in Australia for her book tour, where she spoke to 9honey about how she copes with the struggles in her life.

“For anyone thinking, ‘Oh, you sound alright, Sarah’, or Fergie or Ginger or Duchy or whatever you call me, it’s because I also do the work,” the Duchess of York told 9honey.

“And I do it with really studying the spiritual side of life and my own darkness.

“There can be a lot of darkness, and I’m shining light on my darkness.”
