The ‘Epstein curse’ caught up to Fergie.

For years, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was no stranger to controversy, with her name often linked to financial missteps and personal scandals. Yet, her troubles were largely overshadowed by the far more damaging revelations surrounding her former husband, Prince Andrew, particularly in connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, Ferguson finds herself back in the spotlight—this time over her own alleged ties to Epstein and conflicting accounts of their relationship.
In recent Department of Justice interviews, Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly claimed it was Ferguson who introduced Epstein to Prince Andrew. Maxwell also alleged that the duchess had shown a romantic interest in Epstein at the time.

Further damaging Ferguson’s position is a 2011 email that has recently come to light, in which she referred to Epstein as her “supreme friend.” The message appears to contradict previous public statements she made distancing herself from Epstein, whom she once described as “a gigantic error of judgement.”
The email, sent after her public break from Epstein, expressed regret over her denunciation of him, stating: “You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family.”
Sarah Ferguson emailed Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 calling him a “supreme friend,” despite saying she had cut ties after his conviction.

The backlash has been swift. Four charities have now severed ties with the Duchess of York. Julia’s House, a children’s hospice in Dorset and Wiltshire, was the first to act, citing her continued role as patron as “inappropriate.” Following suit, the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Children’s Literacy Charity, and Prevent Breast Cancer also announced her removal as patron.
The BBC reported that Ferguson’s private comments raised serious questions about the sincerity of her earlier public statements, in which she had condemned Epstein’s actions and claimed to have cut off contact with him.
