Multiple British charities have severed ties with Sarah, the Duchess of York, after it emerged she sent an email to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein calling him her “supreme friend”.
Sarah Ferguson, who is the former wife of Prince Andrew and often referred to as Fergie, has been removed as a patron from Julia’s House, which operates children’s hospice facilities in England’s south-west, Natasha’s Allergy Research Foundation, the Children’s Literacy Charity, Teenage Cancer Trust and Prevent Breast Cancer.
British media reported over the weekend that the Duchess had sent a letter to Epstein in 2011, in which she described the disgraced financier as a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend”.
Best-selling royal biographer Andrew Lownie is the author of a new book about Fergie, and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew the Duke of York. He talked to Europe bureau chief Mazoe Ford about the saga.
