Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, have become unintentionally embroiled in the situation.
Recently disclosed emails suggest that Epstein not only financially assisted Sarah but also that she allegedly brought her daughters to visit him post his release from prison. Prince Andrew firmly refutes all allegations against him.
At the time of Epstein’s release in 2009, Beatrice and Eugenie would have been in their early twenties. The emails in question, purportedly sent by Epstein to his lawyer in 2011, came shortly after Sarah distanced herself from Epstein in a public statement.
Epstein allegedly urged Sarah to deny being misquoted and claimed that she celebrated his release with her daughters, visited him in New York, and sought financial help for her charities. However, a source close to Sarah denies any recollection of such a visit.
While Sarah previously admitted to receiving money from Epstein, the newly emerged emails indicate that she sought a substantial loan from him for various expenses, including requesting to visit his private Caribbean island.
Following the surfacing of controversial emails, several charities cut ties with Sarah as she praised Epstein in correspondence despite publicly severing connections earlier. Her spokesperson explained that the complimentary email was a result of Epstein’s threats to harm her and her family.
In response to the ongoing allegations and public scrutiny, Prince Andrew announced his decision to relinquish his royal titles and honours. This move is intended to prevent further distraction from the royal family’s duties, emphasizing his commitment to his family and country while maintaining his denial of any wrongdoing.
Consequently, Sarah is no longer recognized as the Duchess of York, a title she has held for nearly four decades.
