- The charity said it will shut after months of discussion, confirming the move to the BBC; Sarah’s Trust was founded in 2020 to support humanitarian and environmental projects.
- Emails from 2009–2011 include affectionate language from Sarah Ferguson to Epstein, notably a 2010 note reading, “I am at your service. Marry me.”
- The correspondence shows Ferguson contacted Epstein while he was in jail, sought £20,000 for rent, and offered access to royal events or settings, including an invitation to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s 50th birthday at St James’s Palace.
- Coverage emphasizes reputational fallout and renewed scrutiny of Andrew’s past ties to Epstein, with no new criminal allegations reported against Ferguson.
- Reports citing unnamed sources say Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were “mortified” by the emails, a characterization not backed by public statements from the sisters.
