Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case have revealed emails that appear to involve the Duke of York and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The emails, part of a trove of over three million files released by the US Department of Justice, include accounts labelled 'The Duke' and 'The Invisible Man', as well as references to 'Sarah' and 'Fergie'. These suggest that Prince Andrew and Ferguson were in contact with the disgraced financier shortly after the end of his house arrest in August 2010.
The correspondence reportedly coincides with Prince Andrew's visit to the United States in December 2010. Epstein had previously pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for prostitution, serving 13 months in a jail work-release programme followed by a year of house arrest.
The release of these documents has reignited scrutiny of the Duke of York's association with Epstein, which has been a subject of controversy for years. Buckingham Palace has not yet commented on the latest revelations.
