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 asked him for money to cover “minor expenses.”
The most surprising thing is that, although Prince Andrew’s ex-wife publicly promised to cut all ties with him after his conviction, she actually contacted him shortly afterward.
“You have always been a steadfast, generous, and supreme friend to me and my family,” she wrote in an email, also apologizing for her delayed response.
Her words have reignited the debate about the extent of Epstein’s influence over figures within the royal circle. It is even said that Sarah visited him in New York with her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, after he had been released from prison.
Sources close to the former duchess claim that the letter was not a gesture of friendship, but rather a forced response to legal threats from the businessman, who sought “revenge” for being publicly rejected.
The truth is, this case once again tarnishes the reputation of a woman who has had more than one media downfall and, despite repeated attempts at reinvention, cannot escape her past connections to Epstein’s circle.
The British monarchy continues to grapple with the consequences of the most toxic relationship involving one of its members, Prince Andrew.
