Sarah Ferguson, the wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, sent inappropriate remarks regarding their daughter, Princess Eugenie, in an email to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.
Recently, the Department of Justice released a substantial amount of files connected to criminal investigations involving late-stage child sex offenders.
In one correspondence, Ferguson noted that Epstein reached out to her in March 2010, just two years after he was convicted for soliciting child prostitution.
In the email, Epstein asked if she would be coming to New York, and she replied, “I’m waiting for Eugenie to get back from a bad weekend!!” It’s worth mentioning that “shagging” is British slang for sexual activity.
At the time, Eugenie was approaching her 20th birthday, which she celebrated with her then-boyfriend Jack Brooksbank. The couple later married in 2018.
Ferguson also has another daughter, Princess Beatrice, with Prince Andrew, who lost his royal titles following allegations linked to Epstein.
Regarding Prince Andrew, Buckingham Palace stated that formal actions were initiated to remove his titles and honors. They mentioned that Andrew’s tenancy at Royal Lodge had provided him with some legal cover, but a notice to terminate that arrangement was served, indicating he would need to relocate.
“These actions are necessary, despite his ongoing denial of the allegations,” the palace noted, emphasizing their support for victims of abuse.
Andrew faced accusations from Virginia Giuffre, who recently tragically took her own life.
Ferguson also felt the impact of her affiliations with Epstein. Last September, Julia’s House, a children’s hospice charity, severed ties with her after a leaked email revealed she had apologized to a convicted child rapist.
In that leaked correspondence, Ferguson expressed regret for previously labeling her relationship with Epstein as a “serious error in judgment.” She offered an apology, acknowledging that people felt let down by her actions.
Ironically, she later referred to Epstein as “steadfast, generous and a great friend.”
