Prince Andrew’s Ex Sarah Ferguson Dealing With Fallout After the Release of Jeffrey Epstein Email
Prince Andrew, 65, isn’t the only royal accused of lying about ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On Sept. 20, Daily Mail and The Sun published a bombshell email the Duke of York’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, sent the late financier in 2011 — just weeks after she publicly distanced herself from him in an interview with The London Standard — praising him as “a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family.”
The 65-year-old — who accepted at least $20,000 from Epstein to pay her debts despite her knowledge of his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor — had told the press, “I abhor pedophilia,” and admitted to a “gigantic error of judgment.” But in the leaked email, she “humbly” apologized for “hellaciously” letting Epstein down, saying she’d only condemned him because her “career as a children’s book author and a children’s philanthropist” was “disappearing.”
Those careers have since collapsed: On Sept. 22, at least seven kids’ and cancer charities cut ties with the duchess. Her rep now claims Fergie “was taken in by [Epstein’s] lies” and only sent the fawning note to “assuage” him after he threatened to “sue her for defamation.”
