Sarah Ferguson Scandal Erupts as Royal Is Dropped by Children's Charity After Jeffrey Epstein Email Exposed

Sarah Ferguson is in the midst of concerning controversy after a 2011 email she sent to Jeffrey Epstein exposed her apologizing to the disgraced financier for publicly disowning him after he became a convicted pedophile.

The ex-wife of Epstein's close pal Prince Andrew was dropped by children's hospice charity Julia's House and multiple other charitable organizations she was a patron for as a result of her email to Epstein resurfacing over the weekend.

Julia's House felt it would be "inappropriate" to continue working with Ferguson due to her ties to Epstein — who died by suicide in his New York City jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for s-- trafficking and abusing young women and children.

"Following the information shared this weekend on the Duchess of York’s correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, Julia’s House has taken the decision that it would be inappropriate for her to continue as a patron of the charity. We have advised the Duchess of York of this decision and thank her for her past support," Julia's House shockingly revealed in a statement to People.

While a spokesperson for Ferguson declined to directly comment on the 65-year-old being dumped by Julia's House, the rep responded to overall reports of her email to Epstein sent more than a decade ago.

"The Duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago, and as they have always been her first thoughts are with his victims," the spokesperson insisted. "Like many people, she was taken in by his lies. As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with pedophilia."

"She does not resile from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the Duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats," the individual explained.

Ferguson has since also been dropped by the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Children's Literacy Charity, Teenage Cancer Trust, Prevent Breast Cancer and the British Heart Foundation because of her email to Epstein.

Both The Sun and Daily Mail released bombshell reports on Saturday, September 20, exposing an email Ferguson sent to Epstein in 2011, in which she called the notorious pedophile "a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family."

The message was sent after Ferguson claimed in an interview that she regretted taking money from Epstein and promised to never contact him again.

Ferguson's email exchange with Epstein also took place after he was convicted of one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from a minor in June 2008.
