Sarah Ferguson Took Her Daughters To Celebrate Jeffrey Epstein's Release From Jail After He Bankrolled Her Lifestyle

Astonishing emails reveal that late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein secretly bankrolled Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson for 15 years as the two maintained an exceedingly close friendship.

Just last month a leaked email Ferguson wrote Epstein saw her dub him a “supreme friend,” mere weeks after she gave an interview in which she vowed she would “never have anything to do with” Epstein again.

In the previously unseen emails, Epstein reveals that Ferguson was “the first to celebrate” his release from jail, “with her two daughters in tow.”

There's a part of me that is afraid that if she was still alive, she might be caught up in the whole thing, ruining the "people's princess" image forever.

So, I'm not sure she would have been touched by this scandal. I suspect they were on simply bare-bones "must" speaking terms, but that was my understanding from what I'd read...

some things he's done since he left the Royals it is beyond question that he did the right thing leaving that cesspool of people. Screw the British press who tore him and his wife apart about it all and still do. He should stay away no matter how they try to lure him back.

I'm not so sure. I don't see Harry and Meghan making it for the long term. They both seem to want very different things. Harry may end up "a man without a country" in the end, and their children caught in the middle...

get away from those people in order to try to have some sort of a life. I think he is much in the way of his mother regarding the idea of having a life that is not completely and tightly controlled by the Royals and "expectations" of others.

I never heard Harry criticize Andrew and Fergie.

We as a country seem to be focusing on Andrew, yet Trump and Melanie were very heavily involved with Epstein..
They might have had a falling out, yet they never notified the authorities.
Virginia G was working as a 17 yo at Mar A Largo where she met Epstein.

But apart from that, yeah. I suspect a great many people may be "on the hook for not saying anything" if the Epstein files are ever released. And as I've oft said, I think Trump may've tried to blackmail Epstein with what he knew, because Epstein knew Trump was laundering Russian money through his real estate business, esp. in Florida.

In fact, I think that's exactly what the infamous "Birthday Card" was. A thinly-coded message of blackmail. I'll keep your secrets if you keep mine type of thing. MHO, fwiw.

It was more than any other Royal had done. The idea he didn't go far enough to suit everyone is failing to understand being in his shoes and trying to get out.

Tue Oct 21, 2025, 04:31 PM

she begged to borrow $50,000 and $100,000 to help cover “small bills,” and requests to visit his island, jokingly asking if it is unavailable to those below a certain financial bracket. The emails further show that Epstein paid off debts Ferguson owned a former employee, but became angry with her when she was unable to pay him back.

9. It's a bit of a cheat code for the media to combine Epstein + {rich people} + {outrageous thing} in the headline
Tue Oct 21, 2025, 05:34 PM

Epstein was never even really "in jail" is the truth of the situation, so a headline conveying the idea that Fergie packed up the kids for a trip to the prison gates to stand there with balloons and "Welcome Home Jeffrey!" signs seemed preposterous on its face.

So I read the article, which as I suspected does not assert that Ferguson and her daughters in any way "went" to "celebrate" Epstein's release from jail, as is clearly implied by "took her daughters to celebrate".

What is suggested by the article though is that Epstein loaned her a lot of money a lot of times, and eventually viewed her as a leech because she didn't pay him back at promised. Ergo, if you view what Epstein wrote with that context in mind: "In the previously unseen emails, Epstein reveals that Ferguson was “the first to celebrate” his release from jail, “with her two daughters in tow.” " a likely reading here is that Epstein thought that the three were celebrating the fact that they could start freeloading off of him again.

In any case, there's no remotely solid evidence presented for what the headline is suggesting
