Sarah Ferguson has announced her plans that will coincide with Prince Louis' seventh birthday in a Royal Family clash.

The Duchess of York, 65, is speaking at a summit in London on April 23 - the same day that the youngest Wales child will celebrate his birthday.


Fergie posted about the Ideas + Leaders Summit in London on her Instagram story, noting it will "bring global change-makers to the heart of the UK capital."

The event description states: "On April 23, 2025, the vibrant city of London will host the second IDEAS+LEADERS Summit-an exclusive 1-day leadership experience that brings together global visionaries, innovators, and decision-makers ready to redefine the future of leadership and business.

"After a powerful debut in New York City earlier this year, the summit travels across the Atlantic to the historic and prestigious Mountbatten Room on Pall Mall, blending tradition with modern thought leadership.

"This unique venue sets the stage for deep dialogue, global networking, and inspiration.

"Modelled after the TED conference format, the IDEAS+LEADERS Summit London features bold keynotes, practical panels, and immersive conversations on leadership, innovation, and the evolving global business landscape.

"Attendees will leave equipped with new ideas, concrete tools, and meaningful connections to elevate their leadership impact."

April 23 will also mark Prince Louis' seventh birthday.

The young boy currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire with his two siblings, near their home at Adelaide Cottage.

Princess Kate, 43, and Prince William, 42, often release new images on their children's birthdays to mark the special milestone.

It is not known if the Princess of Wales, an avid photographer, will share an image this year after the scandal that erupted on Mother's Day in 2024.

Kate was forced to admit to editing a photograph that had caused controversy on social media, and was later pulled by multiple picture agencies.

This year, the Waleses did not release a new photo to mark Mother's Day, but instead posted a video celebrating Mother Nature.

Despite the controversy, Kate did release new pictures to mark Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George's birthdays last year in April, May and July, respectively.

However, they were issued directly on the Waleses' social media profiles, as opposed to being handed to the UK media.
