Newly surfaced documents from the Epstein Files reveal that Jeffrey Epstein transferred $150,000 (£109,000) to Sarah Ferguson following a share sale transaction. The former Duchess of York received the wired cash from the late convicted sex offender in 2001, as indicated by JPMorgan account records that also detailed Epstein’s financial activities.
Additional disclosures show that Epstein engaged in $550,000 (£401,653) worth of sweep account sales, with several cash transfers being sent to Fergie. In 2009, Fergie was noted to have urgently requested £20,000 for rent in correspondence with Epstein, citing potential media exposure if payment was not made promptly.
The unveiled documents shed further light on the close ties between Epstein and members of the Royal Family, particularly highlighting Fergie’s admiration for Epstein as the “brother I have always wished for.” Correspondence showed Fergie attempting to arrange for Epstein to attend Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s 50th birthday celebration at St James’s Palace in 2010.
The Epstein Files have caused embarrassment for the Duke and Duchess of York, with Andrew facing allegations of Epstein arranging for a woman to stay at the Royal Lodge. Reports suggest that the woman visited Andrew’s residence in Windsor Great Park, marking the first instance of an alleged encounter inside a royal property. Despite the accusations, Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to his association with Epstein.
Furthermore, Fergie’s reputation has been tarnished by her ongoing communication with Epstein even after his conviction for child sex offenses in 2008. The Mirror has reached out to a representative for the former Duchess of York for a response to these revelations.
