Despite making the front page for all the wrong reasons, Sarah Ferguson has often tooted her own horn about being a 'good mother' to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. But oh, was she mistaken! Her past statements came under scrutiny after leaked emails showed that she allowed Jeffrey Epstein's presence around her girls, despite him being imprisoned for indecent relations with minors. Adding to that, her former psychic, clairvoyant Madame Vasso, has also claimed that Ferguson took young Beatrice to meet her lovers shortly after Eugenie's birth.
In her book, Fergie: The Very Private Life of the Duchess of York, Vasso revealed that when Ferguson was travelling with her 'financial advisor' John Bryan, it reportedly 'angered parents and teachers' that she had taken Beatrice out of school during term time. For those unversed, in 1992, scathing paparazzi photos showed the former Duchess of York sunbathing in France while Bryan kissed and sucked on her toes. To add to the embarrassment, she was still legally married to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the time. According to her former psychic, Ferguson and Bryan had flown by private jet to the French Riviera with the two young Princesses, then aged four and two, at that time.
In addition to this, Vasso alleged that Ferguson had reservations about sending Beatrice and Eugenie to school at a young age. Moreover, she revealed that Ferguson did not think twice before extending her trips to spend time with her lovers, leaving her daughters behind. "I was surprised at the length of time Sarah had now been away, because it meant that Beatrice and Eugenie returned to school after the Christmas holidays without their mother there to ensure all went smoothly," she said of one such alleged incident involving Austrian tennis player Thomas Muster.
Vasso's claims, however, pale in comparison to the far more scathing emails released as part of the Epstein files. It showed that Ferguson not only celebrated the disgraced financier's prison release, but also involved her then-teenaged daughters in doing so. In July 2009, Epstein, who was released after serving charges related to indecent assault, sent an email asking, "Where are you?" To which Ferguson responded, "In Miami. What number shall I call you on now?" After he offered a ride to pick her and her daughters up, she replied, "I made Phillip give us his car and a backup one for the policeman," confirming it will be "myself, Beatrice, and Eugenie." They were allegedly making plans to meet up for lunch.
Unsurprisingly, after the release of the damaging emails on January 30, Beatrice and Eugenie were said to be severely disappointed at their mother. A source close to them told the Daily Mail, "We don't believe the girls were told much about what has just emerged [in the latest Epstein files release], and they will simply be aghast at just how close their parents were to this appalling man."
