Sarah Ferguson meets Jeffrey Epstein twice while he was incarcerated

Former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on two occasions in 2009 while he was serving a 13‑month prison term for soliciting prostitution from minors. The meetings took place at the Palm Beach office of the fictitious Florida Science Foundation, a company Epstein created to obtain a work‑release program that allowed him to leave his cell for up to 12 hours a day. Emails obtained by the Telegraph show Ferguson arranging the first visit on April 4, 2009, writing “Love Sarah The red Head” and asking to stop by for a quick cup of tea. She later sent a message calling Epstein “my dear spectacular and special friend… you are a legend, I am so proud of you.” She delivered documents for her Mother’s Army charity and, after a cancelled third meeting, returned to the office on May 13, 2009, escorted by Epstein’s driver.

Separate reporting also details alleged meetings by Prince Andrew, the former Duke of York, who is said to have dined with Epstein in private rooms at Buckingham Palace and attended a birthday party for Princess Beatrice at Windsor Castle. Andrew has denied wrongdoing, but the new revelations add to ongoing scrutiny of senior members of the British royal family’s connections to Epstein.
