Sarah Ferguson's Shocking Emails to Jeffrey Epstein Revealed
Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, sent a series of alarming emails to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, expressing fears that the Royal Family would discredit her "to obliteration." In a message dated July 2010, she wrote: "No woman has ever left the Royal family with her head, and they cannot behead me, therefore they will discredit me." This statement appears to reference historical beheadings of royals and the scandals that have plagued modern women who have departed from their royal roles.
Financial Struggles and Emotional Desperation
Ferguson described herself as "totally on her own" following personal scandals, including allegations that she accepted $500,000 to provide access to Prince Andrew for a tabloid. As her financial situation deteriorated, she claimed she was being "1000 per cent hung out to dry." In one email, she lamented: "I am totally on my own now. This is beyond scandalous, and nobody can do anything. I cannot believe what this is all coming to."
Shortly before this, she messaged Epstein with a plea: "Have you died on me? Don't… please, you are my pillar." Documents released by the US Department of Justice on Friday reveal that Epstein paid off some of Ferguson's debts, which she later called a "gigantic error." Additional messages suggest he also covered flights for her and her daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
Charity Closure Amid Revelations
In light of these revelations, Ferguson's charity, Sarah's Trust, announced it would shut its doors. The charity stated: "Our chair, Sarah Ferguson and the board of trustees have agreed that with regret, the charity will shortly close for the foreseeable future. This has been under discussion and in train for some months." Launched in 2020, the organisation had assisted vulnerable people during the coronavirus pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Ongoing Contact and Business Discussions
Files indicate that Ferguson remained in contact with Epstein even after he was registered as a sex offender and sentenced to jail in 2008 for soliciting prostitution of a minor. An email from September 2009 shows Epstein discussing Ferguson's need for "four apts during her stay in [New York]." The correspondence also touched on her brand deals, with one email from "Sarah" reading: "Thank you, Jeffrey, for being the brother I have always wished for."
In a 2010 email, seemingly from Ferguson, she referred to Epstein as "a legend," adding: "Xx I am at your service. Just marry me." That same year, she invited him to her 50th birthday party at St James's Palace in February 2010.
These disclosures have sparked widespread discussion, highlighting the complex relationships and pressures faced by those within and on the fringes of the Royal Family.
