Sarah Ferguson is chic in blush blazer during book signing in Perth

Sarah Ferguson was snapped looking stylish in a pink blazer today as she attended a book signing in Perth. 

The 65-year-old former wife of Prince Andrew is currently in Australia, just weeks after King Charles and Queen Camilla visited the country.

Mother-of-two Fergie kicked off her visit with a literary event at Joondalup Resort, where she signed copies of her books - in recent times, she has penned a number of tomes.

She looked chic, donning a little black dress under her blazer, pairing it with black heels.

The Duchess of York wore her red tresses loose, letting them fall past her shoulders in a casual style. 

After today's event, the royal will be undertaking a number of further engagements during the trip, including working with the non-profit Youth Impact Council.

Her polished style today was a very different look than the one she sported while making a recent social media post.

Last week, Fergie shared a powerful message about mental health as she visited the beach in Donegal, Ireland.

In it, she spoke candidly about how 'sometimes things get overwhelming'.

Sarah, who has battled cancer twice over the past year, being diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023 and a malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, in January, candidly spoke to her followers while taking a stroll on the beach.

Speaking in the video, the first royal to join TikTok, said: 'Hello everybody! I'm here in Donegal and sometimes when I find things get sometimes overwhelming, I just try and take myself off to the most beautiful, wonderful blast of fresh air. 

 'Looking at the ocean, looking at the beach, looking at the shells. It's great to be in the wind and just getting fresh air on my face.'

She added in her caption: 'The benefits of getting some fresh air everyday really can do wonders for you. Thank you Donegal!'

Royals fans were quick to praise the 'inspiring' post, with many noting how well the Duchess was looking.  

They wrote: 'Lovely to see you. You look well. Nothing quite like the wind on your face, and just breathing in the fresh air, is there. Thank you for sharing this moment from your day.'

'You are an inspiration thank you x.'

'So proud of you Sarah your resolve is an inspiration for me.' 

'Beautiful. Thanks for sharing !!!'

Sarah Ferguson became the first member of the royal family to join TikTok - and marked the occasion with a poignant video reflecting on her cancer journey. 

The Duchess, who currently resides in the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, has made her debut on the social media app under the username sarahtheduchess. 

Sarah - who is often affectionately known as Fergie - donned a casual ensemble for the clip, consisting of a denim jacket and an aqua blue jumpsuit. 

She sat down in a field to film the clip and captioned it: 'My first ever TikTok!'

Fergie was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023. Just months later, in January 2024, the mother-of-two was told she had malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. 

The mother-of-two said she felt 'hollow' and experienced 'total abject fear' when she heard her breast cancer diagnosis.

Fergie said: 'The drive [between hospitals] was 40 minutes and I didn't speak - I couldn't speak. It was very interesting for me not to speak.

Princess Eugenie shares a sweet photo of son August with 'Grannie' Fergir

'I couldn't express myself, I just shut down, I went back into [a] little girl. It was easier not to ask for support and just to deal with it because that's what I'm used to, that's what I was taught.

'It's only now that I am really proud of my scars, they're really important. 

'I never thought you could free the shackles of your heart by cancer, by learning what it is to be able to talk right about what it feels like to ask for help, to surrender and to realise that everything is going to be okay. And you can find joy and you can not worry so much.' 

She put in her caption: 'One cancer diagnosis was bad enough but to go through all those emotions twice was a lot to handle. For anyone going through this now, know that you are not alone.' 

The Duchess has racked up more than 2,000 views in less than a day, with fans commenting love heart emojis under her first post. 

'Mum, Granny, Bestselling Author, Creative, Founder of Sarah's Trust,' she stated in her bio.

Fergie also posted a QR code to her TikTok on her Instagram story to promote the account and help it gain traction. 

She wrote: 'Posted my first ever TikTok! I can't wait to share more of my life and stories with you all,' following a purple love heart emoji.

Fergie said that she has become an official patron for Prevent Breast Cancer, which she described as 'an incredible organisation that is dedicated to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer'. 

The Duchess, who is the former wife of Prince Andrew, celebrated her 65th birthday recently, alongside her daughter, Princess Beatrice. 

Beatrice, who is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, is currently pregnant with her second child.

While she has been advised against using the phrase 'cancer free', Sarah, writing in The Sun recently, said that her 'treatment has been successful and tests show there has been no spread or recurrence.'

Her other daughter, Princess Eugenie, also shared a sweet new photo of her son August with her mother Sarah Ferguson as she wished her a happy birthday.

The sweet Instagram post consisted of several photos of her mother over the years.

The carousel opened with a new picture of the duchess with Eugenie's son August, three.

In another snap, Sarah was posed with Eugenie and her older daughter Beatrice, who recently announced she was pregnant with her second child.

Eugenie, 34, captioned her post: 'Happy birthday to my beautiful mumma. So proud of the Grannie you are, the mum you are and the woman you are

'You're an inspiration and our endless chats bring me so much happiness and incredible support.'
