Fergie's touching tribute to late mum who died in "cruel accident"
Sarah Ferguson has reflected on her mother's death 26 years on.
The Duchess of York took to Instagram to share the emotional tribute to her mother, Susan Barrantes, who died "far too young" in a car crash almost three decades ago.
"My much-loved mother Susie died 26 years ago today," she began.
The royal shared a series of photos of her mother, including one of them on the iconic Buckingham Palace balcony, after Fergie married Prince Andrew in 1986.
She also posted framed photos she kept of her mother as well as professional photos that were taken when she was younger.
"She was far too young to be taken from us and I often reflect on the fact that at just 61, she was younger than I am now when she died in a cruel accident," Ferguson continued.
"I think constantly of her zest for life and her shining spirit. Like all of us, she made mistakes but she taught me to value each and every day and to always seek to treat people with kindness."
She ended her post saying: "I miss her greatly."
Ferguson's daughter, Princess Eugenie, reposted the images to her Instagram story, with her own message.
"Miss beautiful Granny Susie," she wrote.
The Duchess of York's post was met with messages of love from fans and celebrities alike.
"So beautiful," wrote Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley's daughter.
Actor William Moseley, who starred in The Royals television series left three red heart emojis.
"I lost my mother seven years ago, I miss her each and every day. Sending love," wrote one fan.
"She is incredibly proud of you, and now it’s clear where you get your kindness from. Sending continued prayers and strength your way," added another.
Barrantes, who was a documentary filmmaker, died in a car accident in 1998. Her death came one year after Princess Diana's tragic car crash.
