Emails Unveil Princess Beatrice's Role in Epstein Advice for Fergie
Newly released emails from the Jeffrey Epstein files have brought to light allegations that Princess Beatrice was aware of her mother Sarah Ferguson's interactions with the convicted billionaire paedophile and provided counsel on how to publicly dissociate from him. The correspondence suggests that Beatrice, then aged 22, agreed with her mother on the importance of briefing the press to frame Epstein as having "done his penance" after his imprisonment for child sex trafficking charges.
Details of the 2011 Press Strategy
According to the unearthed emails, Sarah Ferguson claimed that Princess Beatrice was present during a phone call in April 2011, where she informed a journalist it was "wrong" to label Epstein a sex offender, arguing he was "moving on with his life." Fergie reportedly planned to tell the media: "He [Epstein] was sent to prison for sexual offending but that he had done his penance and was out of jail." She emphasized her daughter's support, stating: "Beatrice and I had a discussion and we agreed it was important."
This revelation adds to Beatrice's history of behind-the-scenes involvement in family matters, as she was also instrumental in assisting her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, secure his controversial interview with Newsnight in 2019.
Fergie's Current Whereabouts and Future Plans
Amid the ongoing Epstein scandal, sources indicate that Sarah Ferguson has been spending time overseas before plotting her return to the United Kingdom. After being removed from Royal Lodge in Windsor, where she resided with her ex-husband Andrew, Fergie is said to be abroad to "get her head together." She has reportedly told friends: "I need to get back to work. I need money," signaling her intent to resume public life in the Windsor area.
Royal Family Dynamics and Support
Despite the strain caused by the Epstein scandal, it is reported that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are not abandoning their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. While both sisters have maintained a low profile recently, sources claim neither intends to "turn their back" on the 65-year-old duke. Beatrice, in particular, has shown increased support for her father in recent weeks, highlighting the complex family loyalties at play.
As the Royal Family navigates these challenges, the newly released emails underscore the intricate web of advice and public relations strategies employed behind palace walls, with Princess Beatrice emerging as a key figure in managing her mother's image amid controversy.
