Sarah, Duchess of York has taken to social media to share an important update with her followers regarding mental health awareness.
As a committed supporter of various charitable endeavours, the Duchess disclosed that she has recently visited @paracelsusrecovery in Zurich, a clinic renowned for its confidential and tailored care for individuals grappling with intricate mental health and addiction issues.
In her post, she stated: "Mental health touches us all - it has no boundaries. We need to promote open conversations about mental health and how we can improve access to mental healthcare across society.
I recently spent time at @paracelsusrecovery in Zurich, a clinic known for its discreet, bespoke care for those facing complex mental health and addiction challenges, to learn more," reports the Express.
In May, Edinburgh Live reported how Sarah's daughter Princess Eugenie opened up about her own health struggles and the crucial role her mother played in helping her be proud, rather than afraid, of her battles.
Eugenie, 35, was speaking alongside her sister Princess Beatrice on the 'Lessons From Our Mothers' podcast hosted by Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson when she mentioned a health condition she has battled for over 20 years.
She told the hosts that she has had scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, since she was just 12-years-old. The condition was so acute that she had to have an operation.
It was during the process of hospitalisation and the aftermath of that experience that Eugenie revealed just how crucial a role her mother Sarah had played in her ability to thrive following the diagnosis.

Samsung fans rush to snap up Galaxy Fit3 after major 31 per cent discount
The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 Smart Watch has been added to Amazon's sale Smart watches are incredibly useful devices for tracking fitness objectives and monitoring health. Amazon is currently offering a 31% discount on the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 Smart Watch, reducing the price from £59 to just £41. This chic grey watch features a large rectangular face that clearly displays various data such as date, time, step count, and heart rate. The Samsung smart watch boasts up to 13 days of battery life from a single charge and can reach 65% in just 30 minutes. The device can track over 100 workouts, including running, cycling, and walking, and provides valuable insights into sleep patterns, oxygen levels, and more, reports the Express. If desired, the watch can also receive notifications and messages. For shoppers wanting to explore more smart watch options, Argos is currently offering the Garmin Forerunner 165 GPS Running Smart Watch on sale for £199.99, down from £249.99. This device is compatible with both iOS and Android phones and offers up to 11 days of battery life in smart watch mode and up to 19 hours in GPS mode. Boots has the Fitbit Inspire 3 Health & Fitness Tracker at a reduced price of £68.99 (RRP £84.99). This smart watch can track stress, fitness and sleep, and provides up to 10 days of battery. The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 Smart Watch is an Amazon's Choice product; a highly rated, well-priced item that's available for immediate shipping. To date, over 400 customers have reviewed the gadget, awarding it an overall rating of 4.3 out of five. A thrilled customer remarked: "I bought this to replace my Garmin tracker. The watch face is a good size with a coloured screen. It is very easy to read, and that is coming from someone whose eyesight is increasingly poor (blame the old age). "The watch was very easy to set up via the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app and is very easy to use. It has a number of different functions, far more than I will ever need to use, but useful nonetheless. The recording of the number of steps appears to be accurate and the vibrating alarm is very easy to set up and use." They added further: "Another feature I like is the ability to change the watch face via the app so that it shows the most useful data according to the individual user. There are so many to choose from, I have not even bothered to count how many are available. Another useful feature is the magnetic charging cable, which attaches to the watch incredibly easily (unlike my previous watch). "I don't know how long it takes to charge, as I have only had it a week and it is still on its first charge, so no complaints there. Overall, this was a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a tracker with an easy to read screen." A shopper was left feeling rather miffed after realising the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 doesn't play nice with Apple products. They shared their frustration: "Bought this for my son's 8th birthday. Spent about 15 minutes trying to work out which Galaxy app I needed before realising that the watch is incompatible with Apple iOS iPhone, iPad etc. It requires a Samsung or Android device to pair and monitor, so it's useless to me." On the flip side, another customer couldn't be happier with the smartwatch, stating: "Bought for my husband to replace an old Fitbit. Connects easily to a Samsung Galaxy phone, I love that you can change the clock face. Does way more than he needs. Looks good, well made, the strap fits well. Appears to be very accurate with tracking steps. Lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, you can sync with phone and have notifications on or off."

West Lothian nurse told colleague she had 'sexy long legs' and sent unseemly texts
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A West Lothian nurse has been struck off after telling a colleague they had 'sexy long legs' and sending inappropriate text messages. Alan Colquhoun was told his fitness to practice was impaired by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. A hearing heard of him asking a colleague to 'have some fun' and urging them to be alone with him at Christmas Party in 2016. Colquhoun, who worked as a lead nurse trainer at UK Health Enterprises between 2015 and 2020, was also proven to have touched a colleague on their thighs and buttocks. In 2018, he was found to have 'repeatedly' sent inappropriate or sexual messages. Following another Christmas party in 2020, he was proven to have told a colleague that he had 'missed them' after they weren't present at the event. He also told them that he 'wanted a cuddle'. In a string of proven incidents, Colquhoun asked one colleague to send an image of themselves with a teddy bear. He also said to one colleague that he 'didn't know why they were single'. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox An application was made to have Colquhoun's hearing be private, though the council decided that it was 'in the public interest' to reject that. The council decided that his behaviour constituted harassment, and his motivations were sexual. During the hearing, one colleague's statement was read which stated: "I attended the office Christmas party. "I do not recall the date of the party but it was in December 2016. I had joined in around October 2016 and had only met the Nurse a few times prior to the Christmas party. "At the party, the Nurse propositioned me; he asked me to come with him to the kitchen so that we could be alone to have some fun. I refused as the Nurse was drunk and I was aware that he was married." Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. The hearing also heard that Alan had a 'great working relationship with patients and their significant others'. He was branded a 'quiet gentleman who is thoughtful and empathetic'. However, the panel decided that an order that didn't restrict his practice would be 'inappropriate' under the circumstances'. His actions were considered 'fundamentally incompatible with remaining on the register'. They concluded: "The panel considered that this order was necessary to mark the importance of maintaining public confidence in the profession, and to send to the public and the profession a clear message about the standard of behaviour required of a registered nurse."
