In a revelation that sends shockwaves through the corridors of Buckingham Palace, a prominent royal biographer has laid bare the extent of Sarah Ferguson's connection to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew Morton, the acclaimed author behind the explosive biography of Princess Diana, uses his latest work to detail a relationship that was far closer than previously acknowledged by the Duchess of York.
A Relationship Under the Microscope
Morton's research, cited by the Daily Mail, indicates that the bond between Fergie and Epstein was not a mere acquaintance. The biographer describes their association as "close," pointing to a series of meetings and interactions that have largely remained out of the public eye until now.
The book delves into the nature of their connection, exploring the social circles that brought them together and the potential motivations behind their friendship.
Financial Entanglements and Fallout
Central to the controversy are the financial aspects of their relationship. The book addresses the much-discussed topic of monetary support, scrutinising claims and providing new context to the transactions that took place between the Duchess and the financier.
This financial link has long been a source of intense scrutiny and criticism, tarnishing the reputation of the mother-of-two and by extension, casting a shadow over the Royal Family.
Palace Concerns and Wider Implications
Morton's account suggests that Ferguson's ties to Epstein were a significant source of anxiety within the royal household. The biographer claims that courtiers were deeply troubled by the association, fearing the collateral damage it could inflict on the monarchy's image.
This exposé arrives amidst the ongoing fallout from Prince Andrew's own well-documented and disastrous association with Epstein, adding another layer of complexity to one of the most damaging chapters in recent royal history.
The revelations promise to reignite public debate about judgment, privilege, and the enduring challenge the Epstein saga presents to the institution of the monarchy.
