The Duchess on the Estate Part 1 of 2

The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, spent ten days in Northern Moor, Manchester UK.

[@katherinesage]

Good for you Duchess of York.... great work! Nods to the Mother of 3 wonderful children as well.

[@highmyope-ps2by]

Two daughters; that's all she and Andrew had.

[@carolsmusic2]

Thumbs UP Dear Fergie and Dear Dawn ..for having the will to make change happen!! It is enspiring and you both are good examples!!

[@josephel5856]

This neighborhood looks like any typical inner-city neighborhood here in the United States. Just goes to show you that poverty, misery, and suffering are global issues.

[@scattycat7271]

where are u in the states Joseph? im in glasgow, scotland and it blows here too lol.

[@Nina5144]

Er yeah!

[@skontheroad2666]

But this is on an Estate, meaning it is like a housing project in the US, except it is the whole town, not just a few buildings. So help from someone people still associate with the Firm is helpful.

[@martysweat5924]

@@georgeescott05 it’s on its arse mate open your eyes 😂😂😂

[@SmartStart24]

Exactly. And people like to racialize the ills of poverty but it goes beyond race.

[@lizmillar6504]

I always loved Sarah Ferguson. I am glad she had time with Diana and brought some fun to her life. Sarah, get on with it girl so many love and support you. Silence your #Haters by being stronger than ever at what you do! hugs, e.

[@marypritchard9590]

GET YOUR HEAD TESTED. She got too big for her boots. Ask John Bryan her "Financial Advosor" An American????

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

I've always liked Sarah Ferguson. She's so down to earth and to the point. Sometimes outrageous but funny.

[@melbromley5179]

I am impressed by Sarah going to live here and to try and change life.Her attitude is to be commended.

[@sarasmith4036]

It’s nice to see a royal actually involved and going good. I’m not sure if Meghan would have done this!!

[@Pussycatfeathers]

I have new respect for her......she really has guts to go into these places in her position, yet she manages to mix with these people as though she lived there herself....she is not arrogant or acting superior, I really admire her now even though she herself has made a lot of huge mistakes in her life.

[@annettef7]

I really don´t understand why some people are so aggressive about her. She is a very nice and kind person and is doing a lot of good stuff trying to improve our world. All the haters around - what did you do?

[@zzzbbbooo]

Nice and kind on the surface, but greedy and self-serving underneath - to a degree rarely seen. She is loathsome.

[@freyamccullough8326]

She's an easy target, being in the public eye as royalty with a boisterous attitude, lots of opinions and lacking the shy, "feminine" qualities that Diana had. Unfortunate, really. I'm a fan of hers.

[@joansteel4371]

annettef7 Yellow and stone

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Catherine Murphy She's not living off taxpayers money. She is working for a living like the rest of us. Hello!

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Renee Bloggs We don't know any of these people. Why are we judging them? Because of what you read in the tabloids?

[@forreal245]

Excellent documentary.

[@coffeestar62]

This makes me so Happy. And this is what I wish would happen all over the world. Help,love, peace and yes God. God BLess these women always.

in Poland we have better people downstairs (years without benefits) But worse at the top (corruption) There is no solution.

[@pamelagibbs3992]

I just like Fergie... no one is perfect, or has perfect qualities..... she has raised a beautiful family despite the backlash from the public. Give a girl a break 🦋

[@wonderfulwenna2710]

Pamela Gibbs Um, the girl has had lots of breaks thrown her way.

[@taraalan1131]

Joonbug Johnson She’s bad news - as current events would seem to suggest.

[@MaryMacElveen]

I just watched this for the first time yesterday and loved how Sarah worked along with this community to get this center going. I have since shared it to Twitter and Facebook recognizing her charitable work as well.

[@scouser2010ify]

These people have no hope it’s seems so depressing there

[@fredrika27]

When I see the people from the Estate, it reminds me of many poor whites in the US who voted for Trump! I like this program because it says that the parents and neighbors themselves have to take part in their communities! Poor whites in the US are blaming immigrants for their woes instead of taking a good look at themselves. The mum on this estate sets her kids right! Yes, set down the law with your children and take part in the community. That the Duchess is visiting them and taking an interest is cream on top! I'd love to see the Queen, Charles or Anne actually go out and meet the people in these conditions. I could see William and Harry also taking a turn. Unfortunately, it's Auntie Sarah who is making a splash for a good cause! Well done! Hopefully, Mrs. Trump will be able to get out her designer dudes and meet the people!

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

fredrika27 Ha ha

[@Yikkkes23]

let's see prince Charles do this... Sarah is still an asset to the royal family and got a really unfair rap

[@user-wickedflower]

domhull09 shes not part of the royal family anymore

[@queenofkingsbury]

Charles doesn't like to get 'dirty' in the reality of it all, from what I see. He likes his charities and keeping a distance.

[@louise-yo7kz]

Jean K Unfair

[@chanimarie6753]

domhull09 Sarah grew up around horses she's a tough lady if someone tried it with her she'd be just fine. Charles on the other hand!?🤔

[@aprildannette9820]

I don't know he sounded pretty dirty with Camilla while he was married to beautiful Diana LOL Jean K

[@aprilcanava8112]

Fergie please continue to love your people don’t give up!!! You and Diana hearts will never be forgotten❤️ she’s no longer here which doubles your hard work but your love has no boundaries and never tires!!! Your country has a crown you never gave up what it means to wear that crown and I feel you never will you’ve passed that strength on to your daughters God bless you and them and all the lives you touch 🙏🏻 from America we love YOU ❤️👍🏻

[@jayaybe1]

Lol, Christ! You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Funny though, it certainly gave me a laugh.

[@emm352]

Oh please

[@ladyshasha4117]

Charlie Brand 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MaryMacElveen]

Very well stated April. I'm from America and just saw these videos yesterday. Sarah has always had a big heart that got drowned out by negative media coverage. She raised two incredible daughters. Thankfully she is still here to help those who are in need.

[@marypritchard9590]

Meow! Meow! Meow!!!!!!!

[@caz846]

I loved the way she even settled down in a local BB you can't beat them, home from home...

[@valley_robot]

It was on Altrincham road, a real dive as well,housed smack heads. respect to her

[@dkchosen]

I love Freggie, but she can't do all this on her own.

[@jayaybe1]

Lol, Freggie?

[@christophertudor4727]

Freggie? 😂 I think you mean 'Fergie'.

[@alunford8944]

Fergie

[@valley_robot]

No her name is freggie from now on

[@robertward8130]

Talking to the tough young men about litter and community spirit. Really? Oh well- she is trying.

[@centrepointe1796]

Think Dawn is a brilliant Mom - if more Mom's were like Dawn we wouldn't have half the problems! Isn't this what parenting is all about? However, by no means undermining the issues going on in Northern Moor.

[@SuperJajaco]

She is doing great

[@2000jenhair]

Omg I love Dawn!! She has a heart of gold!! I L♥️VE Fergie for helping her and fighting for a community she is not apart of!! Makes my heart smile!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@mnorth1964]

Just found this documentary. I can relate to this having lived on similar estates' in Australia. It's real and for Sarah to go in there and do the dirty and hard ground work is incredible.

[@bill3641]

On the ground , talking with people , and trying to help with problems. A leader

[@ethelnewberry151]

Sara was a very beautiful young girl and is still a very beautiful older woman. She still has that natural beauty abouther. She has a good business mind and the the mind of an accomplished writer.

[@paulettejohn8127]

She is giving all she got. Heart and soul.

[@WATTDOYOUSEE]

at 20.19 thats my cuzz cliff...imagine the shock hahaha... just watching some random video hahaha

[@audrabrizendine4799]

Bad things haven't happened to that ladies kids becsuse she makes sure it doesn't! Good job mum 💖

[@DetroitLives313]

I think I liked Fergie more than Princess Di. Fergie is a real, down to Earth woman!

[@Celisar1]

My first impression is that THIS is real hands- on work for the people, not the sort of luxury walking around, having pretty photos taken and speaking graciously with some people. I never understood why that sort of social engagement is supposed to be useful - or valuable. THIS social engagement is useful and valuable. THIS social engagement matters.

[@user-su8yv3fi5w]

Brave determined woman. She doesn’t have to care or do anything with these people yet she’s out there walking amongst them. Anyone who criticises her should watch this.

[@lewdar_]

Brave? She's not walking round warzone..

[@Pius-XI]

After the cameras are turned off it's back to the huge house behind the huge security fence. Total hypocrites!

[@helensproston7312]

I think what Sarah is doing is commendable ....getting to the core serious issues that we face in this country ......many people are striving to make their lives and communities better . Bravo bravo Sarah Ferguson ! !!

[@sameerfog434]

Fergie is such an inspiration, keep up the good work

[@kylew7622]

Jeez I'm on this haha XD 10 years ago lemme fill you in? It's no longer a comunity centre, it now seems to be a run down sort of school for naughty children, this happend more or less right after this was filmed

[@sarahleach9997]

hello Fergie good job

[@kathys9999]

I had to chuckle at the bit where the man says "pretty soon we'll be like America", I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it already is. British squalor is no better than American squalor....mate.

[@hazelwalsh3269]

Kathy Stewart He meant Guns!

[@Pius-XI]

Jealous much!

[@donnadeboard3631]

Funny I watched this feeling that America is becoming more like Britain, they are further down the path then we are. So America if you don't like what you see in the UK then we must change our ways Cruz we will be just like them in 15 years.

[@elizabethbronsdon-kudjoi3727]

Well impressed with The Duchess.

[@jackyblue67same10]

She reminds me alot of Princess Diana .

[@davinamair8311]

Aye like sarah ferguson

[@debbiestrom6842]

Love you Dutches focusing on "Broken Brittin".

[@donnavaughn9409]

she seems to have so much positivity, and so, why not try to find out what's going on with people, why things are broken down and how to help them, if she didn't understand what was going on, then how in the world would the other royals understand

[@Bustygirl-dz1wi]

My friends husband met her she was such a lovely lady and so down to earth she is nothing like the press make her out to be

[@charlesmichael9188]

Why not get Andy to donate some of his millions to clean it up a bit?

[@queenofkingsbury]

Charles Michael Andy dosent even want to pay for his own daughters' expenses. He wants them to work for the Firm so the tax payers pick up his daughters' tab.

[@creamofthecrop8286]

Charles Michael ~ I'd like to see "ill gotten" inserted between "his" & "millions". LOL

[@louise-yo7kz]

Charles Michael He might be quietly

[@geraldinemcardle2418]

Charles Michael True

[@fakiola9184]

She Opines since you left the “low low low profile” comment his cover was been blown wide open thankfully. Mind blowing when you think that people in the public , such as yourself, were in the know of his vile tendencies, your authorities have to be have been privy to the same information yet chose not to act.

[@SoRa-zq3ep]

She should focus on giving free classes for artistic expression for all ages. Free community art classes, art studios, music classes with free musical instruments. She should donate these art supplies and musical instruments. A building with open space for these artistic activities. Also there needs to be computers set up for people of all ages to learn various programs...Adobe illustrator and photo shop. As students learn to paint and illustrate they can learn how to market their work. Why isn't there any print shops or bakeries? England needs a Renaissance to save it's culture.

[@WhatMakesBritainGreat]

That's a very good idea ....

[@WhatMakesBritainGreat]

A renaissance....

[@LizT207]

Wow. I didn't know she had such a dynamic personality

[@duantorruellas716]

ive always loved fergie , brave , beautiful , down to earth , kind and polite . shes from a different time , poor things got her work cut out for her.

[@NM-ur3ht]

Awesome, and thank you Fergie !

[@Mulberry2000]

Used live on this estate in the 70s - til the early 80s ie 1976 -83 and what a nightmare. I have still have nightmares about the house i used to live in. The people where nasty, ill educated and just plain violent. I hated the area ever since. It has a huge affect on my life and i feel sorry for people still living there. At leas sale circle at the time had some good shops, not many takeaways or solicitors, great library there, and hardware shop next door to it. Tom Mcgary;s newsagents on button lane was great.

[@fortuner123]

Now what Fergie is doing is what all the elite and hierarchy should be doing: engaging with the people. Fergie has gone from a zero to a ten in my view.

[@paulettejohn8127]

She means will and want to do good. Good for her.

[@peteratherton1792]

Yeh but not before getting rumbles in a sting operation....Don't kid ur self innit :)

[@Ellen24493]

It’s very moving when Dawn and the Duchess discuss Dawn’s working at the community ctr. Caring and looking out for each other what that estate needs. The Duchess just wants to help the estate do that. Good for her.

[@omaopa6923]

Guess what us overprotective mothers don't want this too rule both us and our children's lives, I'd much prefer being able to relax and see my children enjoying a safe and happy life, I've always had respect for Fergie and will never understand why she's constantly being put down 👏🇦🇺

[@louise-yo7kz]

So proud of her!

[@janheard3826]

Dawn has three children and is unemployed so on benefits but she can afford to smoke and obviously has a large food bill too judging by the size of her.

[@hazelwalsh3269]

J Hearn and is dripping with gold!!

[@noreenhappel614]

Stress and cheap food, causes obesity!!!

[@szqsk8]

J Hearn She's lucky to have a roof over her head. If she and her kids were here in the USA, they would be homeless and either living in a motel, car or camper getting $250/month in Food Stamps and using the food pantry at the nearest Catholic Church when the food stamps run out.

[@dorrog4]

the programs are populist And political correctness does not allow to show the problem realistically

[@neighbourhoodwitch18]

I've always liked Sarah, my namesake and a fellow redhead, almost the same age as me. However, this has given me renewed respect for her. I'd like to think that the lovely late Diana would have done something similar 😊❤️

[@checkyourhead9]

how is she your namesake if you are almost the same age ?

[@sprinklefriend]

The joke is on the guy in the beginning who says if they continue on they'll end up like America. Based on what is seen here, they should HOPE they end up like America - it'd be a massive improvement!

[@Pius-XI]

Compared to what..London ghettos. I'm British and would rather walk the streets of America late at night than UK

[@marypritchard9590]

Hear! Hear! Hear!!!!!!!

[@tonyfariasofbrownsvilletx3738]

What does The British Royal Family think of the work that The Princess Sarah The Duchess of York is doing? I would really like to hear their opinion on the The Duchess's work to improve life in Great Britain. Does anyone know?

[@skontheroad2666]

I think I recall that she lost her HRH, and therefore no longer gets a curtsey but for people not even to stand up when she walks into a Public House to meet the locals, and greet her properly?? Disrespectful, no?

[@79Paulie]

And what exactly was the outcome of this documentary? Did she found some kinda local work group to help with the issues , set up some kinda youth project ? .....or did she do the doc n then leave after with nothing being done ?

[@ellymay1455]

I give her 10 out of 10 for trying but it ingrained over many years. One Week won’t change anything. But it’s good she cares enough to go and see it herself. I left the UK and took my family to Australia I live in a nice area and my children are doing well. but even over here there places you wouldn’t walk down the street in daylight never mind night..and it’s the same story no work no hope of work. pushed out on big housing estates drugs are rife and your kids are look at as a sores of income for the local drug pushers and if you want to make something of yourself it look on as being soft and therefore your a target for bullying..poor poor kids and mother’s who are trying to make something out of nothing..

[@lindadobson9854]

Sarah is SO much better looking now than when she was young! And good for her to encourage the good things that should be embraced by Western Civilization and what Britain brought to the world.

[@carolking6355]

Extraordinary. I watch so many blogs of Britain, visiting country houses and gardens. Kirsty and Phill finding suitable homes for couples etc Thai had no idea these sort of places existed. It horrified me. I’ve always believed a good life started with education. Does no one tell these children how when educated they can get jobs. They can move counties, countries... not at the moment, with Covid but this was prior. There’s always jobs for good tradespeople. What on earth does Sarah think she’s doing. One lonely voice in the wilderness. There is a saying. It takes a village to raise a child. Good heavens she could get killed. It will be interesting to see how this works out. That criminal woman arrested for beating a child seems a strange one to hug .a leopard cannot change it’s spots.
