Sarah Ferguson Spends Birthday in Silence as Daughters Stay Quiet Amid Epstein Email Fallout

Sarah Ferguson marked her 66th birthday quietly this week, but what really caught attention wasn’t the celebration itself—it was the silence that surrounded it. The Duchess of York turned 66 on Wednesday, October 15, yet no public birthday wishes came her way, not even from her daughters, who usually shower her with warm tributes online.

Princess Eugenie, 35, is known for her affectionate posts about her mum, often sharing heartfelt messages and rare family photos. But this year, there was nothing. No Instagram story. No photo. No “Happy birthday, Mumma.” Just silence. It’s a noticeable change from last year when Eugenie wrote, “Happy birthday to my beautiful mumma. So proud of the Grannie you are, the mum you are, and the woman you are.”
