She put her best fashion foot forward in a white collared frock printed with delicate lilac flowers as she discussed the match with Robert while also waving a portable fan in front of her face to keep her cool in the 33-degree heat.
This outing comes weeks Fergie spoke candidly about her decision to seek ‘sanctuary’ at a recovery centre in Switzerland – a high-end clinic known for offering ‘bespoke, cutting-edge treatment’ for people grappling with mental health and addiction challenges.
‘I’ve always known there were issues I needed to address, stemming from my childhood and my time in the public eye,’ she said, writing for the Telegraph.
‘Then I was diagnosed with cancer, twice in the same year – something that would be challenging for anyone in terms of mental as well as physical health.’

During her time at the clinic, she said she engaged in deep conversations about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), delving into the long-term mental health impact of her early experiences and public scrutiny.
She opened up about ‘the profound scars’ left by her childhood, which contributed to feelings of low self-worth and disordered eating.
The Duchess said she struggled with a negative relationship with food, shaped in part by harsh treatment and cruel labels she endured in the press.
Fergie was infamously mocked in the 1980s, branded ‘Fat Fergie’ and the ‘Duchess of Pork’ during her first pregnancy when she gained weight.
She also reflected on the toll of more recent online abuse, calling social media a ‘cesspit’ of negativity.
After revealing her candid thoughts to the newspaper, Fergie was seen attendingRoyal Ascot with Beatrice.
