Unique is one way to describe it.

Sarah Ferguson, AKA the Duchess of York, has long been known for her vibrant, bubbly persona.

And that encapsulates both her personality and style, might we add – there’s no denying the royal mum, who was previously married to Prince Andrew, has made heads turn for many, many… many a reason over the years.

Of course, the recent global pandemic has certainly put everyone out of sorts – so one mightn’t have been thinking about what the topical Duchess Fergie was up to.

And to save you the research, we thought we’d let you know exactly what that is, because boy is it a spectacle to behold.

Fergie, now aged 60, started a fun YouTube channel in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Dedicated to reading children’s stories as a sweet gesture to children across the world as they remain in various forms of isolation, the channel provides a happy, entertaining reprieve as the Duchess reads iconic childhood books.

She’s even brought along some very special guests – famed presenter Stephen Fry, British actor Graham Seed, even Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas are among the stars who’ve made an appearance reading their own tales on the channel.

Fergie’s two daughters, Princess Eugenie, 30, and Princess Beatrice, 31, have also shown their support for the initiative, with the pair making multiple appearances in the clips.

But of course, it’s the hostess with the most-ess (actually, though) who we can’t get enough of – and that’s because the one and only Fergie brings everything to the screen – her outfits are case in point.

She’s a big fan of flower crowns, clearly. Fergie took a break from story time to show her following how to make “Monster Sandwiches” – with a unicorn twist, it seems!
