Sarah Ferguson's Business Empire Collapses After Epstein File Disclosures
In a significant development, six companies associated with Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, are being wound down in the wake of newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case. The applications to strike off these entities were filed shortly after US authorities published files detailing Ferguson's communications with the convicted paedophile financier.
Details of the Companies and Their Closure
The companies, which include S Phoenix Events and Fergie's Farm, were all under Ferguson's sole directorship. None of these firms had a notable public presence or showed signs of substantial activity prior to their dissolution. The swift action to close them follows the exposure of email exchanges from 2011, where Ferguson reportedly told Epstein, 'I am at your service. Just marry me,' along with other messages sent after his 2008 conviction for sex offences.
Charity Closure and Name Change
In related moves, Sarah's Trust, a charity founded by Ferguson, has also announced its closure. Additionally, Ferguson has officially updated her name on company documents from 'Sarah Duchess of York' to 'Sarah Margaret Ferguson', marking a clear shift in her professional identity amid the scandal.
Broader Implications and Public Reaction
The revelations have sparked widespread scrutiny, raising questions about the extent of Ferguson's ties to Epstein and the timing of these corporate dissolutions. Experts suggest this could impact her public image and future endeavours, as the fallout from the Epstein files continues to unfold globally.
