Sarah Ferguson Dropped From Children’s Charity Over Epstein Email

by

A children’s charity is distancing itself from Sarah Ferguson. 

Following the reappearance of a 2011 email where the Duchess of York called convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a “supreme friend,” Julia’s House, a children’s hospice, announced it would no longer work with the royal.

After reports surfaced this weekend about the Duchess of York’s communication with Jeffrey Epstein, Julia’s House has decided it’s no longer appropriate for her to continue supporting the charity as a patron. The charity has informed the Duchess of this decision and expressed gratitude for her previous contributions, according to *The Guardian*.

Julia’s House is ending its partnership with Ferguson, whose former husband, Prince Andrew, has also been criticized for his ties to Epstein. Julia became a supporter of the organization in 2018 and had worked with them for seven years.

TopMob News has contacted representatives for Ferguson for comment on the email and Julia’s House statement, but they haven’t responded yet.

Okay, so I’ve been digging, and it turns out in 2011, Virginia Giuffre (Ferguson, as some people still call her) actually *emailed* Jeffrey Epstein – can you believe it?! This was just weeks after she’d publicly tried to put distance between them, following that whole awful scandal with the underage girls. It’s just… shocking to find out, especially considering everything that came out later when Epstein died in prison while facing those sex trafficking charges. I’ve been following this for years, and this new detail is just… a lot.

According to an email reportedly sent by Ferguson and obtained by *The Sun* and *The Daily Mail* on September 21st, she stated she never used a particular offensive word about the recipient, despite reports to the contrary. She explained she was responding to threats from Epstein. In the email, she also acknowledged the recipient’s feelings of disappointment and expressed gratitude for their consistent generosity and friendship to her and her family.

After the emails were released, a representative for Ferguson stated she was sorry for her connection to the convicted financier.

According to a representative, Sarah Ferguson’s primary concern remains with Epstein’s victims. Like many others, she initially believed his false pretenses. However, once she learned the full extent of the accusations against him, she immediately ended their relationship and publicly denounced him. This led to Epstein threatening to sue her for claiming he was involved in pedophilia.

As someone who follows these things closely, I remember when Sarah Ferguson, mother to Beatrice and Eugenie, publicly addressed the situation with Jeffrey Epstein back in 2011. She clearly stated that his behavior was unacceptable and that she fully supported his imprisonment – a really important stance to take, and one she made very clear at the time.

According to Ferguson’s representative, she stands by her previous statements. The email was sent because advisors suggested trying to calm Epstein and address the threats he was making.

I was really saddened to hear that Sarah, Duchess of York, had to step down as a patron of Julia’s House. It came out that back in 2011, she’d sent an email to Jeffrey Epstein, calling him a friend, and it unfortunately caused a lot of problems and led to this decision. It’s a shame, as she did so much good for the charity.

After reports surfaced this weekend about the Duchess of York’s communication with Jeffrey Epstein, Julia’s House has decided it’s no longer appropriate for her to continue her role as a patron of the charity. According to The Guardian, the charity has informed the Duchess of this decision and expressed gratitude for her previous contributions.

According to a representative from Ferguson, the email was sent following a threat made by Epstein.

After a 19-month absence, Prince Harry was spotted arriving at Clarence House-the King’s home in London-apparently to visit his father before attending another event in the city.

Harry arrived at the house around 5:20 p.m. on September 10th, but Charles had come back just a few hours earlier.

Princess Anne’s son and his former husband, Mark Phillips, announced on August 1st that he will marry his girlfriend, Harriet Sperling. The couple had been dating for over a year.

The couple’s spokesperson told Hello! magazine that both families were told about the engagement at the same time and were very happy about it.

Just a day before turning 78, the royal was made an honorary Vice Admiral by the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy.

Camilla is the first woman to receive this honorary title. It’s awarded solely by the reigning monarch-currently her husband, King Charles III-based on a recommendation from the First Sea Lord, Sir Gwyn Jenkins.

Just hours before she was scheduled to attend, Princess Catherine cancelled her appearance at Royal Ascot, according to Kensington Palace.

Oh my gosh, I just read that Kate is so bummed she couldn’t be at the event! Apparently, she’s still trying to work out how much she can do after everything she’s been through with her health. It’s just… she needs to pace herself, you know? It’s so good to hear she’s thinking about what *she* needs, even while wanting to be there for everyone. I’m just sending all my love and hoping she gets stronger every day!

Prince Harry’s lawsuit seeking extra security ended on May 2nd when a court dismissed it. This came over a year after a previous request for increased protection was denied by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee.

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stopped being full-time working royals in 2021 and moved to the U.S., their security protection was reduced. However, Harry later asked for continued security arrangements whenever he returned to the U.K.

Prince Harry told the BBC on May 2nd that he was deeply upset by the outcome of his recent legal fight. He stated that, as things currently stand, he doesn’t foresee returning to the UK with his wife and children.

In an interview with the BBC on May 2nd, Prince Harry said his father, King Charles III, isn’t currently speaking to him due to disagreements about security. He expressed hope that they can resolve their differences and rebuild their relationship.

As a devoted follower of the Royal Family, it’s heartwarming to hear Prince Harry express his desire to rebuild his relationship with his father and brother. He’s made it clear he wants to reconnect with his family, including Archie and Lilibet, but ultimately, it seems the next step is up to his dad, King Charles.

He doesn’t foresee returning to the U.K. with his family anytime soon. He expressed sadness that his children won’t have the opportunity to experience his home country with him.

Harry explained that his father has significant influence and could potentially solve the situation. He suggested this wouldn’t require direct involvement, but rather allowing professionals to handle things without interference.

After years of fighting, he’s now seeking peace and a chance to make amends. He explained, “Life is too short, and I don’t know how much time my father has left.”

More than a year after revealing his cancer diagnosis, King Charles wrote on April 29th that going through treatment has highlighted the kindness and goodness in people.

In a booklet offering support to cancer patients, Charles wrote that receiving a diagnosis is understandably scary for both individuals and their families. However, drawing from his own experience, he emphasized that it can also reveal incredible kindness and strength in others.

He expressed his gratitude to the healthcare workers who cared for him, and shared that the experience deepened his respect for the incredible work done by the organizations and people present, many of whom he’d known and supported for years.

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – were absent from the royal family’s traditional Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on April 20th.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla joined the rest of the royal family in celebrations, but Prince William and Kate chose to spend the weekend at their country home in Norfolk with their children, according to several news sources.

In a statement on the organization’s website, Knauf expressed his excitement about collaborating with the team and community to further their goal of creating a hopeful future for the planet.

He received a promotion almost seven years after he reported concerns about Meghan Markle’s behavior, claiming she bullied two assistants and tried to discredit another staff member. Representatives for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle denied the accusations, telling *The Times* that the claims were false and part of a deliberate attempt to damage their reputation.

Buckingham Palace looked into the claims, but the investigation concluded in 2022 with no public announcement of its results.

A father and son happily watched the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa at the Parc des Princes stadium.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Graham Craker. He was a dedicated professional who served as a bodyguard to the royal family for years, and I remember seeing him with Prince Harry and Prince William on many occasions. He passed away in April at the age of 77, and he will be greatly missed.

Craker was with Princes William and Harry when they found out their mother, Princess Diana, had passed away, and he was present during the funeral.

In 2017, Craker told The New York Post that he saw Prince William acknowledge him during the procession. Craker had been standing near the back of the hearse, and he nodded to William, who seemed reassured that Craker was accompanying his mother on her last trip.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, reached a legal settlement with News Group Newspapers – the company behind both *The Sun* and the now-closed *News of the World* – on January 22nd. He had sued the organization in 2019, claiming that journalists and investigators working for its newspapers illegally obtained information about the royal family.

According to NBC News, the settlement involved the company paying a significant amount in damages and offering a complete and sincere apology to Prince Harry. They also publicly admitted to the widespread and deeply invasive coverage of both his and Princess Diana’s private lives.
