Sarah Ferguson Visited Jeffrey Epstein with Daughters Days After Prison Release
Newly disclosed emails have revealed that Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with her two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, a mere five days after his release from prison. The meeting took place in July 2009, less than a week after Epstein was freed from a Florida jail where he had served a 12-month sentence for soliciting a child for prostitution and was placed under house arrest.
Emails Confirm Disturbing Visit Details
Epstein himself confirmed the encounter in an email sent to his then-partner Ghislaine Maxwell on July 28, 2009, writing: 'ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday'. The day prior, Ferguson had emailed Epstein to arrange the visit, asking: 'What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?'
Documents seen by The Telegraph indicate the group met at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion, where the disgraced financier served vegetable lasagne prepared by a Parisian chef. At the time of this controversial visit, Beatrice was 20 years old and Eugenie was 19.
Ferguson's Fawning Correspondence Exposed
The email cache, among over three million documents released by the US justice department, reveals Ferguson's obsequious tone toward Epstein. In one 2010 message, she told the late financier: 'Just marry me', describing him as a 'legend' and the 'brother I have always wished for'.
Other messages show Epstein attempting to arrange meetings between the princesses and his goddaughter Celina Dubin, daughter of billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin. On June 22, 2009, while still in prison but allowed out during work hours, Epstein emailed Ferguson and Mrs. Dubin suggesting: 'My goddaughter will be in London from July 8-9, eva will be with her….lets [sic] come up with a fun idea'.
Royal Daughters Reportedly 'Aghast' at Revelations
Sources close to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie indicate the sisters are deeply distressed by their mother's communications with Epstein following his conviction for child sex crimes. A source told the Daily Mail: 'They are aghast at what they have read. They are mortified by the emails their mother has sent to Epstein. It is so embarrassing for them.'
The insider added: 'We don't believe the girls were told much about what has just emerged, and they will simply be aghast at just how close their parents were to this appalling man.' The siblings are also said to be appalled by new photographs showing their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, crouching over a mystery woman lying on the floor.
Further Controversial Disclosures
Additional emails reference Eugenie's sex life and confirm Ferguson took her daughters to lunch with Epstein while they were still teenagers. One message from Ferguson appears to suggest Epstein had a secret child, as she congratulated him on having 'had a baby boy'. In another communication, she accused him of abandoning her in 2011, stating it was 'crystal clear' he was only her friend to get close to her former husband.
Separately, security sources told the Mail on Sunday that Epstein was allegedly running 'the world's largest honeytrap operation' on behalf of the KGB. These revelations emerge as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was seen riding near his Royal Lodge home, amid reports he had been due to move out last week.
The extensive email correspondence between Ferguson and Epstein spans more than a decade of their friendship, during which the financier famously helped pay off some of her substantial debts. The latest document release has cast renewed scrutiny on the royal family's connections to one of the most notorious sex offenders in modern history.
