Natalie Dormer Drops Promotion of Sarah Ferguson Drama as Fallout From Epstein Email Widens

The actor cited the newly published 2011 message praising Jeffrey Epstein, which has already prompted multiple organizations to cut ties with the duchess.

Overview

  • Dormer said she will not promote ITV/BritBox’s The Lady and has donated her entire salary to NAPAC and the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse.
  • The leaked 2011 email shows Ferguson apologizing to Epstein and calling him a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend” weeks after publicly disavowing him.
  • Ferguson’s spokesperson says she wrote the note under threat after Epstein allegedly prepared to sue for defamation, and a former aide describes a ‘menacing’ call vowing to ‘destroy’ the York family.
  • At least seven charities — including Teenage Cancer Trust, the Children’s Literacy Charity, Julia’s House and the British Heart Foundation — have ended their associations with Ferguson.
  • Reports say planned promotional appearances have been canceled, and a royal commentator suggests it is highly unlikely Ferguson or Prince Andrew will be invited to upcoming family services.
