Sarah Ferguson allegedly took Beatrice and Eugenie to visit Epstein after his prison release

Following the release of more than three million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, new details continue to surface, shedding further light on the convicted sex offender’s connections.

Among the names reappearing in the latest batch of files is Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, also known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

According to the newly revealed material, Ferguson allegedly took her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to meet Epstein just days after he was released from jail for child sex crimes.

It is claimed that in 2009, Ferguson brought the princesses to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion for lasagne shortly after he completed a one-year sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Epstein had secured his release through a widely criticised ‘sweetheart’ deal negotiated by then-US Attorney Alex Acosta. The agreement allowed him to plead guilty to lesser state charges, avoid federal sex trafficking charges, and serve a reduced sentence.

At the time of the alleged lunch meeting, Epstein was reportedly under house arrest. Beatrice and Eugenie would have been aged 19 and 21.

Emails Detail the Alleged Meeting

The documents reveal that Epstein emailed Ghislaine Maxwell on July 28, 2009, stating: “Ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday”.

The day before, Ferguson herself reportedly emailed Epstein to arrange the visit, writing: “What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?”

Additional emails between Ferguson and Epstein have also been revealed. In one message sent in 2011, Ferguson congratulated Epstein on the birth of a child — a revelation that has caused confusion, as it was previously believed Epstein had no children.

“Don’t know if you are still on this BBM, but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” she wrote.

“Even though you never kept in touch, I am still here with love, friendship and congratulations on your baby boy. Sarah xx.”

This email has cast doubt on longstanding assumptions about Epstein’s personal life.

In another message, Ferguson appeared to express hurt and frustration over their relationship, writing: “You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a baby.

“It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew. And that really hurt me deeply, more than you will know.”

Messages of Affection and Praise

The tone of those emails contrasted sharply with earlier messages Ferguson had reportedly sent to Epstein, including one in which she asked him to marry her.

“You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe my love and gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.”

In another email, she referred to Epstein as “the brother I have always wished for” and said she was “so proud” of him.

This is not the first time Ferguson, often known as Fergie, has been linked to Epstein. The financier died by suicide in a jail cell in 2019.

Previously, the former Duchess of York was reported to have apologised to Epstein for publicly distancing herself from him.

In an interview with the Evening Standard on March 7, 2011, she addressed her decision to accept £15,000 from Epstein, saying: “I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf. I am just so contrite I cannot say.

“Whenever I can, I will repay the money and have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again.”

Despite this public statement, further messages were later sent.

Apologies and Expressions of Regret

In one email, Ferguson reportedly wrote: “I know you feel hellaciously let down by me. And I must humbly apologise to you and your heart for that.”

She continued: “You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family. I was advised in no uncertain terms, to have nothing to do with you and to not speak or email you.

“And if I did – I would cause more problems to you, the Duke and myself. I was broken and lost.

“So please understand. I didn’t want to hurt Andrew one more time. I was in overriding fear. I am sorry.”

Ferguson’s spokesman, James Henderson, insisted the email had been sent “in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats” after she allegedly received an angry phone call from him while he was in prison.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Henderson said: “People don’t understand how terrible Epstein was. I can remember everything about that call.

“It was a chilling call and I’m surprised anybody was ever friends with him given the way he talked to me.”

He added: “He said he would destroy the York family and he was quite clear on that. He said he would destroy me.”

“He wasn’t shouting. He had a Hannibal Lecter-type voice. It was very cold and calm and really menacing and nasty.”

Sarah Ferguson has not yet publicly responded to the latest claims emerging from the newly released Epstein documents.
