New Email Shows Epstein’s Friend Mocking Sarah’s Financial Woes With Joke About 'Selling Daughters'
Newly released emails from the Epstein files show a person making fun of Sarah Ferguson's debts quoting a fake headline.
Sarah Ferguson's precarious financial situation has been a hot topic in the media since her separation from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. As she navigated life outside full royal support, she sought assistance from Jeffrey Epstein, a connection that later led to her scathing downfall. Newly released emails from the Epstein files reveal just how her money woes became the butt of jokes among his associates, who didn't even spare bringing up her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
In a correspondence released by the US Department of Justice, one of Epstein's friends sends him a fake headline that reads, "Andrew sold daughters to pay Fergie debts." They described their reaction to it, saying, "It caught me off guard. I laughed so hard I choked and shot snot out of my nose!" They concluded the message with, "Best one yet!" proving that Ferguson's cash crunch was a routine subject of mockery in the disgraced financier's circles. Interestingly, the headline dated March 2011 was a fake report, with no such article existing. It remains unclear if Epstein responded to the email.
In the past, the former Duchess of York has confessed to accepting $20,500 from Epstein to settle her 2011 debts, describing it as a "gigantic error of judgment," following his 2008 conviction for indecent assault. One particular email released by the US Department of Justice, this one from Ferguson herself, shed light on her poor financial situation, where she is seen telling Epstein she "desperately needs the money." After the financier helped pay off some of her debts, a 2010 email showed Ferguson write to him, "Just marry me," and "I'm at your service," while thanking him for his "generosity and kindness."
Despite Epstein paying off some of the former Duchess's debts, he was reportedly very wary of her and her intentions. An email, dated August 20, 2009, showed him being informed by a redacted name that the "Fergie data collection remains slow," to which he asked the person to "keep on it." In another exchange, the person said, "The message you sent said 'Ferg' only. Send again, please? or call me...Getting financials for Fergie is painful. Incredible mess. I'm on it..."
To add insult to injury, a source also told The Daily Mail that the late financier was reportedly furious when Ferguson made damaging comments about him in an interview with The London Standard. They stressed, "She [Ferguson] would borrow it from him [Epstein] and then say something stupid, which would make the papers and infuriate him. He wasn't that fond of her; she was more of a useful idiot to him." The insider added of Epstein's alleged intentions, "She [Ferguson] offered him [Epstein] a way into Andrew's good graces and, by default, the good graces of the royals." Meanwhile, Ferguson regularly took Beatrice and Eugenie to lunches with Epstein, despite being aware of his many damaging crimes.
