Overview

• The organisations cutting ties include Teenage Cancer Trust, Julia's House, Prevent Breast Cancer, The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, The Children’s Literacy Charity, the British Heart Foundation and the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals.
• Teenage Cancer Trust ended a 35-year association, removing the Duchess as patron after confirming the decision on Tuesday.
• The Sun and the Mail on Sunday published a 2011 email sent weeks after her public vow to cut contact, in which Ferguson called Epstein a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend."
• A spokesperson for Ferguson says she wrote the conciliatory note on legal advice after Epstein allegedly threatened to sue for defamation, adding that she regrets any association with him.
• Resurfaced 2010 photos showing Ferguson with members of Epstein’s household and PR warnings of severe brand damage have intensified scrutiny of the Yorks, recalling Prince Andrew’s loss of titles and patronages in 2022.
