Overview

• An April 26, 2011 email shows Sarah, Duchess of York, calling Jeffrey Epstein a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend" and offering a "humble" apology.
• The note came weeks after her March 7, 2011 Evening Standard interview in which she vowed to cut ties and apologized for accepting a £15,000 payment.
• Her spokesperson says the email was written on advice to assuage legal threats after Epstein allegedly threatened to sue over her public comments.
• The correspondence was published by the Sun on Sunday and the Mail on Sunday as part of renewed reporting on Epstein-related materials.
• The disclosures follow recent releases of Epstein documents, including reports that journalists obtained a cache of more than 18,000 emails.
