Overview

• The Duchess of York is reportedly lying low at Royal Lodge after publication of a 2011 email to Jeffrey Epstein.
• Several charities have cut ties with Sarah Ferguson since the leak, which surfaced correspondence sent after she had said she ended contact.
• Newly circulated flight records show Prince Andrew flew on Epstein’s jet to Florida in May 2000 during an NSPCC-linked official trip; he has not commented on the latest claims and maintains past denials.
• Royal commentators, including Jennie Bond, say King Charles could consider stripping Andrew of his roles as a Knight of the Garter and Counsellor of State and call it “inconceivable” the Yorks join the public Christmas service at Sandringham.
• MP Rachael Maskell is seeking to revive a bill enabling the removal of hereditary titles for bringing them into disrepute.
