LONDON – They are the damning photos which show just how close Sarah Ferguson became to paedophile Financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Two decades after these snaps showing the Duchess of York posing with Epstein’s staff, Fergie’s reputation has taken a body blow following new revelations that she cynically lied about her association with him.
Bombshell emails obtained by The Mail on Sunday showed that only weeks after publicly disowning the vile billionaire in 2011, she wrote him a gushing private message calling him a ‘steadfast, generous and supreme friend’.
She also admitted that she only distanced herself from him to save her own reputation.
The duchess was further humiliated after seven charities publicly cut ties with her over the damning revelations.
Others were said to be reviewing their positions following the publication of her grovelling messages to the notorious sex predator.
It puts more pressure on the King to expunge Sarah and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, from even private family events and find a way to finally evict them from Royal Lodge, their Windsor mansion. Children’s hospice Julia’s House was the first to dump the duchess yesterday, saying the correspondence made it ‘inappropriate for her to continue as a patron’.
The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, set up in memory of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died at 15 from an allergic reaction, said it had dropped the royal as a patron after being ‘disturbed’ by the revelations. Then, in what will be a particularly devastating blow for the duchess, given her own diagnosis in 2023, she was dropped by Prevent Breast Cancer.
