Shocking new emails reveal that disgraced duchess Sarah Ferguson was secretly bankrolled by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein for 15 years—far beyond the £15,000 she publicly admitted taking.
The messages show Epstein complaining to friends about Ferguson’s constant requests for money and her eagerness to stay close to him.
One email claims she “was the first to celebrate” his release from prison “with her two daughters in tow.”
At the time, Princess Beatrice was 20 and Eugenie 19, the same age as some of Epstein’s victims.
Despite publicly distancing herself from Epstein after his conviction for child prostitution, Ferguson kept up private contact. She asked to borrow sums ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 to cover “small bills,” requested assistance for her charities, and even sought permission to visit Epstein’s private island.
Epstein wrote to a friend that Ferguson “borrowed far more money off him than has ever come out” and that she “was always holding out the begging bowl.”
The emails also reveal Epstein helping Ferguson navigate media appearances, per the Daily Mail.
He gave her “talking points” before an Oprah Winfrey interview.
He demanded she write him a public letter of apology after claiming she would “never have anything to do with a paedophile and child sex abuser.”
One draft read: “Dear Jeffrey, I wanted you to know with certainty that many things said in the press about you that were attributed to me were either a totally malicious fabrication or an outrageous exaggeration… There was never a claim of paedophilia… You have been a loyal friend of my family for many years.”
Even as Epstein publicly distanced himself, Ferguson privately assured him of her loyalty. Epstein wrote on August 1, 2011:
“When you first got in trouble you said to me, ‘Jeffrey, I know that as I told everyone, you’re either on the team or off. I knew you were always on my team.’ That was right.” Ferguson responded: “I am on yours and you on mine. With great love and strength.”
The duchess’s financial entanglements extended to Prince Andrew. Emails show Epstein making payments to Ferguson’s former assistant and covering apartment costs, while Andrew communicated with Epstein about reimbursements.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Andrew and Sarah were in it up to their necks with Epstein. It was always about the money. This was always going to be their downfall.”
The tranche of documents, set to be released by Congress after redactions to protect victims, paints a deeply disturbing picture of the duchess’s relationship with Epstein.
Despite public claims of cutting ties, Ferguson repeatedly leveraged Epstein’s resources, dragged her family into his orbit, and kept up a correspondence that reveals the “sordid nature” of their closeness.
These revelations come as part of a wider review of Epstein’s communications and further expose the lengths to which prominent figures relied on and tolerated his influence. The emails, the source said, “make sickening reading that will repulse the sex offender’s many victims.”
