Sarah Ferguson appears unbothered by bombshell infidelity claims as she takes to Instagram
Sarah Ferguson showed all was business as usual on her end amid facing infidelity rumours - as she wished Instagram followers a 'happy International Youth Day'.
The Duchess of York, 65, who was accused of having 'extramarital affairs' and 'exploiting' her royal status to make money in an explosive new book, carried on her with usual duties as she uploaded a selection of photos in which she is attending charity events for children.
'Over the years, I've seen first hand the brilliance and determination of young people all around the world,' she wrote in the post.
'From classrooms to community projects, I've met so many remarkable individuals whose creativity, energy, and drive inspire such hope for the future.
'Your actions, no matter how big or small they feel, truly make a difference. Today, we celebrate YOU!'

Just days ago, the mother of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice also looked to send a message to critics as she donned shoes sporting the Royal Family 's unofficial motto - 'never complain, never explain' - to an event.
It happened on July 30, two days before the Mail began serialising Andrew Lownie's bombshell new book 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York'.
The ex-wife of Prince Andrew posted about the event on Instagram with a series of photographs of her posing with the group - in which the statement ensemble is visible.
'Her Heart for a Compass was always meant to be a bridge between hearts, stories and generations,' she penned/ Being able to sign copies and speak with these incredible creators brought me right back to why I wrote it in the first place.'
The post was uploaded just hours after an extraordinary extract from Mr Lownie's book about Fergie was published in which she was dubbed the 'Duchess of Greed'.
The 65-year-old has worn the Del Toro X Rotten Roach shoes at least once before, during a night out at Oswald's private members' club in Mayfair in April 2022.
Fergie is known for bold fashion statements and is often noted for her distinctive style in the Eighties including shoulder pads, puffball skirts and polka dot outfits.
Meanwhile, Mr Lownie's new book claimed Fergie had extramarital affairs with American Steve Wyatt and his friend John Bryan.
There were also allegations that Andrew slept with 'more than a dozen women' during the first year of their marriage.
The author wrote: 'Friends say Andrew accepted his wife's infidelities and that his marriage was over.

'He would dine alone off a tray in his study while Sarah and one of her lovers ate together elsewhere in the house.'
'Sarah, however, was jealous of any of Andrew's girlfriends.
'She wanted to remain 'The One,' with all the perks that brought, and girlfriends were invariably despatched through a mixture of charm and ruthlessness.'
The book also looked at Fergie's alleged exploitation of royal status to make money, claims over her dubious 'charity work' and huge debts.
Among the revelations are that she used to demand a whole side of beef, a leg of lamb and a roast chicken every night; her butler got up at 4.30am to put her watercress on ice; and she spent £25,000 in just one hour in Bloomingdales.
Mr Lownie has claimed the royals tried to ban his book, saying he received letters 'threatening to sue me, before a word of the manuscript had been seen'.
Andrew and Fergie divorced in 1996 but still live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
Fergie previously said her Mills & Boon novel' Her Heart for a Compass' was a 'sweeping, fabulous, historical novel' set in the 1870s and that her heroine Lady Margaret is 'a very rebellious lady'.
The book, which draws on Fergie's own life journey and incorporates research into her ancestry, is a fictional account of the life of the duchess's great-great-aunt Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas-Scott.
She co-wrote the book with Marguerite Kaye, who has written more than 50 novels for Mills & Boon set in a variety of historical eras.
Mr Lownie's new book will be published by William Collins on August 14 for £22.
