It was not the start to 2024 she was hoping for, after spending much of last year recovering from breast cancer.
Two days into the new year, Sarah, Duchess of York, received a second “distressing” diagnosis – this time in the form of malignant melanoma.
She shared her news publicly after spending a few weeks recuperating at the exclusive Mayrlife clinic in Austria, which is her “haven”, according to friends.
Now, back in Windsor, surrounded by her beloved family, Sarah is determined this latest setback will not slow her down.
As her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie rally round, allowing her to spend plenty of time with her grandchildren, Sarah exclusively tells HELLO!: “They support me through thick and thin, not least my recent illness. We call each other ‘The Tripod’ because we prop each other up, come what may.”
NO STOPPING HER
A friend also tells HELLO!: “She is one of the most resilient people I have ever known. She just gets on with things and that’s how she’s approaching this whole situation.
“A second diagnosis is a lot to deal with for anyone, but she won’t let it stop her writing or her charity work or anything that she wants to do. She’s home and the girls and Andrew [Sarah’s ex-husband the Duke] are being amazing. She’s with the grandchildren.
“She’s been overwhelmed with how lovely everyone has been. It has really buoyed her up.”
HELLO! understands the wider royal family have also shared their support, weeks after she spent Christmas with them at Sandringham and appeared publicly with them at church.
