Overview

  • Children’s hospice Julia’s House led the moves, followed by the Teenage Cancer Trust, British Heart Foundation, Prevent Breast Cancer, the Children’s Literacy Charity, the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation and the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals.
  • The leaked email, dated April 26, 2011, reportedly called Epstein a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend” and came weeks after her March 2011 public denunciation of him.
  • Associated Press and other outlets said they have not independently verified the email first published by the Sun on Sunday and the Mail on Sunday.
  • A spokesperson for the duchess said she was taken in by Epstein’s lies and that lawyers advised sending the note to head off a threatened defamation claim.
  • The revelations have renewed scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s links to Epstein, with UK tabloids reporting pressure on King Charles to limit the Yorks’ presence at private family gatherings.
