Sarah Ferguson 'Devastated' by One Thing Following Jeffrey Epstein 'Supreme Friend' Email

Seven charities severed ties with the Duchess of York after a 2011 email revealed her private praise of Jeffrey Epstein, prompting Virginia Giuffre’s family to demand her title be revoked.

  • Sarah Ferguson faced public disgrace after a 2011 email emerged in which she called convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein a 'supreme friend'.
  • This scandal follows allegations against her ex-husband Prince Andrew, who denies wrongdoing but settled an abuse claim with Virginia Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability.
  • Following the release of the email, seven organizations, among them the British Heart Foundation and Teenage Cancer Trust, publicly ended their affiliations with Ferguson, adding to the York family’s ongoing reputational challenges.
  • Ferguson’s spokesperson said the email was written to counter Epstein's defamation threat and that she regrets any association, while her friend Lizzie Cundy described her as 'absolutely devastated'.
  • Public debate intensified about Ferguson retaining her courtesy royal title amid calls from Epstein’s victim's family for accountability, while her daughters and the royal family are reportedly deeply affected by the ongoing controversy.
