Sarah Fergusonis reflecting on the anniversary of the9/11terrorist attacks in New York City.
On Monday, the Duchess of York recalled how she was scheduled to be at the World Trade Center on that day 22 years ago on social media. On Sept. 11, 2001, 2,977 people were killed in terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in the plane crash in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, which hijackers intended for Washington, D.C. 9/11 became the deadliest terror attack on American soil in the history of the United States.
“My charity Chances for Children was located on the World Trade Centre N Tower. I was meant to be there that morning 22 years ago but an interview ran late,” she wrote. “The Little Red doll, the charity’s mascot, was found in the rubble. Today I am thinking of those who lost their lives.”

Today, the doll is displayed at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and Fergie posted a close-up photo of the toy.
“The original Little Red is in the Ground Zero museum. We remember today & always. I want to send the families love and strength,” she wrote over the photo.
Closing out the carousel on her Instagram Story,Prince Andrew’s ex-wife posted a throwback group photo with their daughtersPrincess BeatriceandPrincess Eugenie, plus others.
Lutnick was not in the office as usual on the morning of 9/11 because it was his son’s first day of kindergarten, perPIX11, and was pivotal in providing $180 million to the families of the Cantor employees who died that day.
Fergie previously toldHello!that the twist of fate that saved her on 9/11 gave her a new view on life.

“I take every minute as a blessing, I really do, and I really work hard at it. Because the minute you look too far forward, then you’re missing now,” she toldHello!in 2019. The Duchess of York added that it meant much for Little Red (which has since inspired achildren’s book seriesof the same name) to be found.
“From 101 floors Little Red came down in her dress, a little tiny rag doll, and she was found in the rubble. And CNN filmed it and said, ‘Oh, a child’s doll,” and Larry King said, ‘No, that’s Little Red, and she stands for children’s rights all over the world.’ From Little Red, I’ve gone on to build a lot of schools and taught many teachers,” she said.
