Not a week goes by without a story that shakes the past of the British royal family, and this time the name that resurfaces is Sarah Ferguson. New emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein—yes, the businessman disgraced for sex crimes—secretly financed the former Duchess of York for over fifteen years. It’s not just about that famous $20,000 loan she acknowledged a long time ago, but a much longer pattern of financial support that, according to sources, eventually made even Epstein uncomfortable. In the leaked messages, the billionaire complained about having to financially “support” Fergie, while she privately…
