Sarah Ferguson’s controversial remarks about her daughter, Princess Eugenie, have come to light in newly released documents related to the Epstein files. The documents, part of a trove of over three million files published by the US Department of Justice, include email exchanges between Ferguson and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In one email from March 2010, Epstein inquired about a potential trip to New York, to which Ferguson responded that she was awaiting Eugenie’s return from a weekend away. This email coincided with Eugenie’s 20th birthday, spent with her then-boyfriend, now husband, Jack Brooksbank. Additional emails revealed Ferguson’s admiration for Epstein, referring to him as a “brother” and a “legend.”
Despite previous statements distancing herself from Epstein, Ferguson expressed gratitude to him in emails for his kindness and compliments. The files also disclosed photos of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, sent to Epstein by their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The images, captured when the princesses were in their early 20s, depicted intimate family moments, with Eugenie participating in a charity bike ride and Beatrice climbing Mont Blanc. The documents detailed a series of festive emails between 2011 and 2012, showcasing the family’s activities, including Andrew abseiling the Shard and Ferguson’s trip to frozen Great Slave Lake in Canada.
While Andrew has denied any wrongdoing, Beatrice and Eugenie have distanced themselves from their parents amid the ongoing scandal. The revelations have sparked renewed interest in the relationships between the royal family and Epstein.
