Sarah, Duchess of York ‘She was more my mother than my own mother’

The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show

In this episode, Sarah, Duchess of York, shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life as a bestselling author, philanthropist, mother, and ‘badass, sexy, sassy super gran'. The Duchess opens up about her special bond with the late Queen, sharing the advice she received before her passing, and reveals how she carries on the Queen’s legacy by caring for her beloved corgis.

The Duchess and Jess also dive deep into the intense media scrutiny she endured and why she’s grateful for the lessons it taught her about resilience and success. She shares her struggles with mental health, her commitment to doing the inner work, and her dedication to facing fears head-on. There is so much to learn from The Duchess about trusting your instincts, learning from mistakes, taking joy seriously, and dancing until midnight!
