Meanwhile she spoke about how Beatrice and Eugenie had responded to her diagnosis, saying: ‘I think it’s scary for any family member out there, you really start to look at your own demise. It’s a wake up call, and you think, how am I going to deal with this?’
She explained her daughter Beatrice had chosen her outfit for her, adding: ‘I have to say it’s really just extraordinary to come to terms with a new you.

She continued: ‘It’s really important that my father was right: The show must go on.
‘But be mindful of each word you say, be gentle with yourself and people, and be very grateful.’

She said she felt ‘we can do this’ after she spoke with a reconstructive surgeon.
Fergie explained: ‘We must make people realise, it’s not okay but if you’re going to get it, catch it quick.

‘And go and say, ‘I can do this’. It’s not bravery, it’s not courage, it’s about understanding that you’re not going to feel as you did for a bit, so don’t try to be a superhero.
‘Take mini steps, have the cup of tea, trust people. It’s very important not to be complacent with every single thing now.’
It comes after Andrew faced fresh questions over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after emails emerged suggesting he ‘lied’ about it in his BBC Newsnight interview.

A message written by the late billionaire paedophile and released as part of a court case in the US shows he was presenting Andrew as a potential investor in 2011, despite the royal claiming to have ended all contact in 2010.
Epstein’s victims last night called on the prince to speak to the FBI, which he has so far refused to do. It is not known if Andrew knew Epstein had mentioned him in the email exchange.
The victims’ representative, US attorney Spencer Kuvin, told the Mirror: ‘It appears that either Epstein was highly overselling his relationship with Prince Andrew or that the duke may not have been entirely truthful about when his friendship ended.’
One victim, who was awarded compensation under the Epstein victims’ compensation program, said: ‘The emails raise serious questions. Why would Jeffrey be lauding him as an investor if he was no longer in contact?’
