Explosive court documents have laid bare the astonishingly close relationship between Sarah, Duchess of York, and the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, revealing private letters where she addressed him as 'the supreme'.
The correspondence, filed in a New York court, shows the Duchess pleading for financial help from the disgraced billionaire, who was awaiting trial for sex trafficking minors before his death in prison.
In one particularly damning letter, Ferguson writes directly to Epstein, stating: "I am reaching out to you as the supreme and wonderful person that you are." The plea continues with a request for help settling her debts, highlighting a deeply troubling connection between royalty and one of the most notorious criminals of modern times.
A Royal Financial Lifeline
The documents detail how Epstein became a financial crutch for the Duchess. In her correspondence, she explicitly asks him for assistance, writing: "This is a desperate letter to you from me." She goes on to explain her dire financial situation and appeals to his generosity.
This revelation directly contradicts her previous claims that her association with Epstein was minimal. The letters suggest a far more personal and dependent relationship than previously acknowledged by the Duchess or Buckingham Palace.
Palace in Damage Control Mode
The emergence of these documents places the Royal Family in an increasingly difficult position, particularly following Prince Andrew's own well-documented connections to Epstein. The Duke of York was famously photographed walking in New York's Central Park with the financier in 2010, after Epstein had already served time for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Royal commentators suggest these latest revelations will force the Palace into yet another round of damage control as they attempt to distance the institution from the ongoing Epstein scandal.
A spokesperson for the Duchess of York has yet to comment on the specific contents of the court filings.
