Charities Drop Sarah Ferguson After 2011 Email Praising Epstein Surfaces

A Mail on Sunday publication of a private April 2011 note that clashes with her earlier public denunciation has prompted swift reviews of her patronages.

Overview

  • Julia's House confirmed it has removed the Duchess of York as patron, and at least six other UK charities said they have ended ties or reviewed her role.
  • Organizations named in coverage include Teenage Cancer Trust, British Heart Foundation, the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Children’s Literacy Charity, Prevent Breast Cancer and the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals.
  • The email, reportedly sent from her personal account in April 2011, apologizes to Jeffrey Epstein and describes him as a “faithful, generous and supreme” friend.
  • The message appears to contradict her March 2011 Evening Standard interview in which she called the association a “gigantic error of judgment” and vowed to have nothing more to do with him.
  • A spokesperson for Ferguson says the note was sent on legal advice to defuse a threatened defamation action by Epstein, while separate Mail on Sunday reporting cites archived emails that could complicate Prince Andrew’s contact timeline.
