Princess Eugenie says 'mumsy' Sarah Ferguson is an 'inspiration to women' as she interviews her for Mothers' Day - as Fergie reveals the piece of advice the Queen always gave her

Princess Eugenie has called her mother Sarah Ferguson an 'inspiration to women ' as she interviewed her for Mothers' Day.

Addressing her as 'mumsy' Eugenie said The Duchess of York, colloquially known as 'Fergie', is a 'huge inspiration' to her, her sister Beatrice and her friend Julia de Boinville, who she founded her charity the Anti-Slavery collective with.

In a video for the Anti-Slavery collective, she said: 'Your purpose has always been to impact people across the world, and it's been such an inspiration to me growing up.

'You really are an inspirations as a mother and a leader,' she added.

In a gushing chat, Fergie said that she was 'so proud' of her daughters, and loved her grandchildren but sees her children as 'hers'.

The ex-wife of Prince Andrew added that her late mother-in-law the Queen was the 'most extraordinary woman' she has ever met.

 'She had such humility, such kindness, such strength. She always allowed other people to talk and have their moment.

'She didn't judge, she waited.

'I often asked her "what do you really do?" and she said, "I'm always the chairman, never the CEO'". 

She added that Nelson Mandela, Maria Montessori, and Mother Teresa were among the other inspirational people she's met in her life.

The video comes just days after Princess Eugenie has shared a collection of previously unseen snaps of herself with her mother, sister and late grandmother to mark International Women's Day. 

The royal, 33, took to her Instagram account to post several snaps of herself with Sarah Ferguson, 64, Princess Beatrice, 35, and the late Queen Elizabeth II, today.

'Happy International Women’s day! Taking a moment to celebrate some of the incredible women in my life, whilst being so proud to bring up boys so they can go on to celebrate the women in theirs,' Eugenie penned. 

The heartfelt post includes unseen photos with her mother and sister, taken at her charity the Anti-Slavery Collective's inaugural gala at the Battersea Arts Centre in south London.

It comes after Princess Eugenie was snapped smiling as she left a restaurant in central London on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old royal appeared to be alone in the photographs, which were taken outside a Mayfair eaterie.

She wore a navy blue knee length dress with an abstract big cat print, high neck, and bottom tier.
