Sarah Ferguson's Desperate Emails to Epstein Reveal Pleas for Employment
Sarah Ferguson repeatedly begged Jeffrey Epstein to employ her as his house assistant because she desperately needed the money, according to revelations from The Mail on Sunday. Humiliating emails buried in the Epstein Files show that the then Duchess of York pleaded with the financier on multiple occasions, asking for a job despite the fact he was still under house arrest in Florida following his conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
Emails Show Ferguson's Persistent Requests
In one email, sent in May 2010, Ms Ferguson said: "But why I don't understand, don't you just get me to be your House Assistant. I am the most capable and desperately need the money. Please Jeffrey think about it." Emails unearthed by The Mail on Sunday reveal that, on the day Ms Ferguson asked Epstein to give her a job, she pleaded again hours later: "Employ me for your house assistant." In August that year, she emailed him again: "I am feeling very traumatised and alone. I am wanting to work for you at organising your houses." She asked again in September: "when are you going to employ me.... My friendship is steadfast to the end, even after the body is cold... Love you now and always... And I know you do tooo. [sic]"
Maxwell's Annoyance and Epstein's Contempt
A source said Ms Ferguson's "pleading" emails annoyed Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now serving 20 years on child sex trafficking charges. Maxwell looked after his properties in New York, Paris, Palm Beach, his Caribbean island, and his ranch in New Mexico. The source explained: "Ghislaine was fully aware of Sarah's emails to Jeffrey because Jeffrey told her. It annoyed the hell out of her. She never had much respect for Sarah. At one point Sarah was begging Jeffrey to marry her. It was a bit desperate and pathetic." However, the source added that the paedophile "used [Ferguson] to get to Andrew but was utterly contemptuous about her in private. She always had the begging bowl out. She never had any money. Epstein thought she was pathetic, a bit of a loser."
Ferguson's Response and Past Statements
Ms Ferguson's spokesman declined to comment on the recent revelations. However, in 2011, she called her friendship with Epstein an "error of judgment," acknowledging the controversy surrounding her association with the disgraced financier. The emails highlight a period of financial desperation for Ferguson, as she sought employment from a man already convicted of serious crimes, underscoring the complex and troubling dynamics within Epstein's circle.
