Grandmother-to-be Sarah Ferguson looked in high spirits today as she arrived at Venice airport – donning a very colourful face mask.
With her luggage trolley piled high with suitcases and a large gold gift bag, the Duchess of York, 60, may well have popped into a few baby shops during her visit to the Italian city.
On Friday last week, her daughter Princess Eugenie, 30, announced she is expecting her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank, whom she married in October 2018.
Dressed in her vibrant green £1,600 Gucci blazer which she teamed with a black midi dress and pumps, Sarah waved as she entered the airport, with a stewardess pushing her trolley behind her.
