Sarah Ferguson reportedly visited Jeffrey Epstein just five days after his early release from prison for sex crimes against children, accompanied by her daughters, according to newly revealed emails. Epstein, who had been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute in 2008, was released from prison early in July 2009 and required to register as a sex offender.

The emails suggest that despite Epstein being on house arrest, Sarah Ferguson, along with Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, visited his home shortly after his release. Epstein’s email to Ghislaine Maxwell on July 28, 2009, mentioned the visit, stating, “ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday.”

Further correspondence between Sarah Ferguson and Epstein referenced the visit, with Sarah inquiring about the address for the meeting and mentioning lunch plans. Epstein reportedly served vegetable lasagne made by a Parisian chef during the meeting at his Palm Beach mansion.

In subsequent emails, Sarah expressed gratitude towards Epstein for his kindness and referred to their close relationship. Despite later public statements denouncing Epstein, leaked emails revealed ongoing communication and financial requests from Sarah to Epstein, including a plea for marriage in one message from 2010. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are said to be dismayed by the revelations, as they were reportedly unaware of the extent of their mother’s interactions with Epstein.

The latest revelations have sparked embarrassment and shock among those close to the royal family, highlighting the controversial ties between Sarah Ferguson and Jeffrey Epstein.
