Prince Andrew’s associate, Jeffrey Epstein, reportedly made threats against the Duke of York’s family following criticism from Sarah Ferguson, who had accepted money from Epstein. The Duchess of York faced backlash for sending an apologetic email to Epstein, referring to him as a “supreme friend” despite previously distancing herself from him.
Subsequently, several charitable organizations, including the Teenage Cancer Trust, severed ties with Ferguson after the disclosure of her communication with Epstein. A spokesperson for Ferguson revealed details of a menacing phone call from Epstein, describing it as cold and threatening.
Epstein’s warning to harm the York family coincided with allegations that he possessed compromising material on influential individuals. Charities cited Ferguson’s messages to Epstein as grounds for disassociating with her, expressing concerns over her judgment.
Despite her separation from Prince Andrew, Ferguson resides in the Royal Lodge, indirectly benefiting from her ventures which support him financially. The timing and content of Ferguson’s email have raised doubts about her associations and decision-making, tarnishing her reputation within the Royal Family.
