Leaked emails expose Epstein’s 15-year financial ties to Sarah Ferguson

Newly surfaced emails have reignited controversy surrounding Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, revealing that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly funded her for 15 years and even celebrated his release from prison with her and her daughters, as per The Daily Mail.

The shocking correspondence, currently under review by the U.S. Congress, shows Epstein complained about the duchess’s repeated requests for money far beyond the £15,000 she publicly admitted to accepting.

According to the Mail, Ferguson borrowed up to $100,000 and continued to seek financial help despite publicly distancing herself from the disgraced financier.

One email reportedly revealed that Ferguson, alongside Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, was “the first to celebrate” Epstein’s release from jail.

Other messages show Epstein helping her with debts, setting up a charity, and even giving her “talking points” before her 2011 Oprah Winfrey interview.

Despite her claims of cutting ties, Epstein told associates that Ferguson remained in contact for years, often referring to him as a “loyal friend.”

The duchess had previously described her involvement with Epstein as a “giant error of judgment,” but these emails paint a deeper picture of financial dependency and deception.

According to the Daily Mail source, “In public, she claimed to cut him off. In private, she was always asking for more.”

Sarah Ferguson’s spokesperson has declined to comment.
