Shoeless Sarah Ferguson too toe-curling for princesses
By Lucretia Munro, London Lite Last updated at 14:59pm on 19.06.09Sarah Ferguson embarrassed her daughters at a party by kicking off her stilettos to walk barefoot.
Royal high-nesses: Fergie, Eugenie and Beatrice
The Duchess of York, 49, attended the pre-Wimbledon bash at Kensington Roof Gardens with princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Golden girl: Ana Ivanovic with tanned legs at the party
A source told us: "Her feet were clearly hurting as she suddenly stopped and took her shoes off, saying, 'sorry, I can't walk any further'. "Eugenie turned to her mother and yelled, 'Oh mum, what are you doing?' But Fergie was unconcerned by her daughter's pleas."
At the same party, 21-year-old tennis star Ana Ivanovic looked as if she had been Tango-ed. Miss Ivanovic, from Serbia, showed off a tan and her telltale white "tennis feet".
Meanwhile, fellow guest Konnie Huq, 33, revealed she has started a modelling career by signing to the Select agency. "It's a brand-new chapter for me," she said.

Give them a break! Let's remember that the girls are still very young and are learning to be in the public eye. At the same time they are concentrating on obtaining an education which is more far more important than competing with frivolous fashion bimbos.

The Duchess has form with respect to her feet. They have got her into trouble before.

Fergy kids should not have been embarrassed but should have gone barefoot as well ...The antiestablishent of these youngens' keep there shoes on.

Let Sarah alone...so what she took her shoes off...big deal...the girls, Beatrice and Euggenie dress fine...better than some who have their boobs and butts showing

Never mind their mother, Beatrice and Eugenie should be more embarrased about their own failings in the fashion stakes. For 2 modern young women, they have no dress sense whatsoever and invaribly look absolutely dreadful when seen out on public occasions.
