Sarah Ferguson delivered a fiery tirade at the Cannes Film Festival party when the crowd talked over her as she addressed the stage.The Duchess of York, 64, dazzled attendees at the amFAR gala charity event, which is dedicated to advancing AIDS and HIV treatment and prevention.
Adorned in a lavish £13,000 Lilith Cocktail Dress, Fergie took the spotlight during the soiree to oversee the auctioning of a painting depicting the late Queen, all in aid of the charitable cause.Yet, her patience wore thin with the chattering audience, prompting her to demand silence before issuing an apology to the younger generation for the current environmental challenges.
Her intervention came as she expressed gratitude towards artist Simon de Pury for his portrayal of the late monarch, which fetched upwards of £400k at auction.A video shared on Instagram by supermodel Heidi Klum, reports the Mirror, captured Prince Andrew's former spouse in full flow, exclaiming: "Quiet because the incredible person Simon de Pury has done an amazing job tonight, this is exceptional, and all I want to say to everyone in this room is stop, stop, stop. "Did you see I removed the microphone because all of you are saying 'I want to go, because where is the next party?
What are we meant to be doing next? ' But what I want to say is why are we here? What is the future and why are we not making our planet better for the youth of tomorrow?"She then remarked: "I am so sorry that we have completely destroyed your planet, but thanks to amFAR and these people with scientific brilliance.." before the video abruptly ends.
