Sarah Ferguson makes first public appearance since skin cancer diagnosis in surprise outing
Sarah Ferguson has made her first public appearance after her skin cancer diagnosis was announced last month.
The Duchess of York's unexpected attendance at an event in Miami, Florida on Monday came amid King Charles's own cancer diagnosis announcement.
Fergie, as she's affectionately known, attended the Haute Living Celebrates The Haute 100 Miami event wearing a military-style black and white blazer over a black dress for the cocktail event.

The 64-year-old happily posed for pictures as she attended solo and cuddled up to guests, just two weeks after revealing her "shock" second cancer diagnosis with the public.
"I have been taking some time to myself as I have been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, my second cancer diagnosis within a year," she said in a social media post at the time.
Fergie revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in June and underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

The author and podcaster shared parts of her recovery with fans on Tea Talks with the Duchess & Sarah.
While she also expressed her gratefulness at her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, rallying around her.
"My two wonderful daughters are my wholehearted cheerleaders, my devoted champions and my soulmates, and they have been as supportive as can be, as they always are," she told People.
Fergie will now undoubtedly be offering her support and her own tips to her former brother-in-law King Charles, who began his out-patient treatment in London on Monday.
The monarch appears to have a fondness for his ex-sister-in-law, who was previously married to Prince Andrew and still lives in the family home of the Royal Lodge, inviting her to the family Christmas at Sandringham last year.
It marked the Duchess of York's first royal Christmas in over 30 years, with her separation from the Duke of York in March on 1992.
