Sarah Ferguson's 'shocking remarks about women in the royal family' laid bare in Epstein emails
The former Duchess of York is facing more scrutinySarah Ferguson has been linked to the newly released files relating to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Last Friday, the US Department of Justice released more than three millions files relating to Epstein and his crimes. Within these files, emails allegedly between Ferguson and Epstein have emerged.
For some time, Ferguson and her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, have faced scrutiny over their links to Epstein.
Now, scrutiny is mounting even more following the release of the latest batch of files. In one email, Ferguson allegedly made a comment about women in the royal family.
Sarah Ferguson’s ’emails’ to Jeffrey Epstein revealed in new files
As reported by The Telegraph, Ferguson wrote an email to the disgraced financier in July 2010.
In May of that year, Ferguson became caught up in a media sting appearing to accept cash for access to her ex, Andrew.
In an exchange with Epstein in the July, Ferguson allegedly emailed him: “Have you died on me? Don’t.. Please you are my pillar.”
Epstein reportedly replied: “I thought you needed a place for the second week?”
‘No woman has ever left the royal family with her head’
Ferguson allegedly wrote back: “Dear Jeffrey, yes I did need a second place for a week?
“And I thank you so much, but just as I predicted many many months ago, the british [sic] press is ready to exterminate me, and it seems that Price WaterhouseCoopers and the palace system are not equipped to deal with all of this huge wave of negativity.
“Therefore I have to return to the uk [sic], and be exterminated and face the thunderous music.
“I am now 1000 percent being hung out to dry, just as I predicted you will see, the Press will have me exiled. I am totally on my own now.
No woman has ever left the royal family with her head.
“This is beyond scandalous and nobody can do anything. I cannot believe what this is all coming to. I have to return to face my judge and jury and be hung yet again.” [Sic]
She then allegedly wrote: “Just as I always said, no woman has ever left the royal family with her head, and the [sic] cannot behead me, therefore they will discredit me. Totally to obliteration. I have no words.”
According to The Telegraph, at the time, PricewaterhouseCoopers had been engaged to audit her finances.
Royal Insider has contacted representatives for Ferguson and Buckingham Palace for comment.
Sarah Ferguson’s links to Epstein
Last September, Ferguson was dropped by several charities as reports emerged appearing to show her association with Epstein.
A 2011 email emerged seemingly showing Ferguson calling Epstein a “supreme friend”.
The email was reportedly sent just weeks after the former duchess did an interview with the Evening Standard. In the interview, she vowed to cut all ties with Epstein after accepting £15,000 from him to help settle debts.
During that interview, Ferguson had said she would “have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again”. She also said accepting money from him was a “gigantic error of judgement”.
However, just weeks later, Ferguson reportedly emailed Epstein in April 2011: “I was advised in no uncertain terms, to have nothing to do with you and to not speak or email you. I didn’t want to hurt Andrew one more time; I was in overriding fear. I am sorry.”
‘She was taken in by his lies’
Last September, a spokesperson for Ferguson claimed that the 2011 email was sent under duress.
They told The Sun: “The duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago. Her first thoughts are with his victims.

“Like many people, she was taken in by his lies. As soon as she was aware of the full extent of the allegations against him, she cut off contact and condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with paedophilia.
“She does not shrink back from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats.”
