Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein criminal investigation reveal a series of startling emails exchanged between the convicted financier and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. The correspondence paints a troubling picture of a relationship extending far beyond polite acquaintance.
Among the most shocking revelations is a 2010 email where Ferguson, responding to an invitation from Epstein to travel to New York, made a crude remark about her then-19-year-old daughter, Princess Eugenie. She casually mentioned Eugenie was returning from a “shagging weekend,” a phrase that immediately sparked outrage upon surfacing.
The timing of the email is particularly disturbing. It occurred after Epstein had already been convicted of soliciting sex from underage girls and was serving a sentence, albeit a lenient one, for his crimes. Eugenie was on a trip with her then-boyfriend, celebrating her upcoming 20th birthday.
The released files also contain an email from Ferguson to Epstein, sent earlier in 2010, containing a startling proposition: “Just marry me.” She lavished praise upon him, expressing “love, gratitude” and offering herself as being “at your service.”
Beyond personal overtures, the emails suggest Ferguson offered Epstein and his associates privileged access to royal grounds, hinting at potential VIP tours of Buckingham Palace. This raises serious questions about her judgment and willingness to exploit her position.
The documents aren’t solely focused on Ferguson. Her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, also appears in the released materials, including photographs. One image depicts him kneeling beside an unidentified woman, while another shows him with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime accomplice, at Sandringham House.
Prince Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to his association with Epstein, but the scandal led to his removal from royal duties in 2019. A disastrous BBC interview, where he attempted to discredit his accuser Virginia Giuffre with a dubious claim about his inability to sweat, proved to be a turning point.
The release of these emails comes at a sensitive time for Ferguson, who is currently facing a deadline to vacate Royal Lodge, the residence she shared with Prince Andrew. Their continued cohabitation, despite their 1996 divorce, has been a subject of public scrutiny.
This isn’t the first time Ferguson has publicly addressed her relationship with Epstein. In 2011, she issued an apology for accepting money from him to settle debts, admitting it was a “gigantic error of judgement.” However, leaked emails reveal she later apologized *to Epstein* for those public statements, calling him a “Supreme Friend.”
The full extent of the relationship between Ferguson, Prince Andrew, and Epstein remains a subject of intense scrutiny. These newly released documents offer a chilling glimpse into a network of privilege, questionable judgment, and deeply troubling connections.
