Sarah, Duchess of York, has once again shared a moving tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, marking two years since her passing. In a heartfelt post on social media, the 64-year-old duchess, known for her literary work and philanthropic efforts, revealed a little-known fact about the Queen’s love for ladybirds, offering her followers a touching glimpse into the personal side of the beloved monarch.

Ferguson, who was entrusted with the care of the Queen’s corgis alongside Prince Andrew following Elizabeth’s death, commemorated the occasion by sharing a unique tribute. She posted photos of a doll from her children’s book series *Little Red*, which was dressed in an outfit specially created for the occasion by Stella McLaren, the Queen’s hat maker and milliner. The doll’s ladybird-themed ensemble was designed in honor of the Queen’s well-known affection for the small insects.

In her post, Ferguson wrote: “For the anniversary of Her Late Majesty The Queen’s passing, I asked Stella McLaren to make a special outfit for Little Red, as I believe it’s so important to keep memories alive in various ways.” She added, “Her Late Majesty loved ladybirds, and Stella was delighted to create this in her honor.”

The duchess encouraged her followers to donate to any of the many charities associated with Queen Elizabeth II, continuing the Queen’s legacy of service and philanthropy.
Meanwhile, the Royal Family’s official social media pages shared their own tribute, with a photo of Queen Elizabeth II smiling at a Buckingham Palace garden party. The post simply read: “Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022,” underscoring the solemnity of the day.
King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a memorial service at Crathie Kirk, Balmoral, where the Queen had passed away two years prior. The service, led by guest preacher Rt Rev Dr Shaw Paterson, was described as especially poignant for the Royal Family.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also shared his own words of remembrance, reflecting on the Queen’s “70 glorious years of dedication” and her enduring legacy of service to the UK and the Commonwealth.
Ferguson’s tribute served as a reminder of the late Queen’s profound influence on those who knew her best, with Ferguson stating, “I believe it’s important to keep memories alive in all different ways.”
As tributes continue to pour in, the Queen’s legacy remains a beacon of strength, unity, and service for generations to come.
