The actress cited a newly published 2011 message linking the duchess to Jeffrey Epstein, with Ferguson’s team saying it was sent in response to legal threats.

Overview

  • Dormer said new information made it impossible to reconcile her values with Sarah Ferguson’s behavior and confirmed she will not take part in the series’ publicity.
  • She donated her entire fee to the National Association for People Abused in Childhood and the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse, which is hosted by Barnardo’s.
  • A leaked 2011 email reported by the Mail on Sunday appears to show Ferguson apologizing to Epstein weeks after publicly distancing herself from him.
  • A spokesperson for the Duchess of York said the email aimed to assuage legal threats from Epstein and reiterated that she regrets any association with him.
  • Several charities have cut ties with Ferguson, including the Teenage Cancer Trust, the Children’s Literacy Charity and the British Heart Foundation, as the completed four-part Left Bank drama for ITV/BritBox targets a late-2025 or early-2026 release.
