The photos were shared by the Duchess of York's assistant Antonia Marshall, who wrote alongside the post, ‘@sarahferguson15 and @hrhthedukeofyork packing all the care packages for @thameshospice in Windsor today. The York Family are a wonderful and steadfast unit and through this crisis, are continuously helping others. So proud of them all...’

The Duchess of York has been very active during the crisis, as she tries to help in any way she can - mostly coordinating with businesses so they can donate supplies to the NHS and charities.

She’s also had the help of her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie (opens in new tab), who helped her make sure that health workers in London hospitals received the massive delivery of German pastries.

The snaps were shared by Hermann Bühlbecker, the face of the Lambertz brand who supplied the pastries.

He wrote alongside the snaps, A few days ago Fergie, Duchess of York, and her daughter received a large delivery of Lambertz pastries (over 100 kg) at the Royal Lodge.

‘This is intended for the doctors and staff of London hospitals, who are currently working up to their limits. The Duchess called us about this; she sent us the pictures when the shipment arrived.’
