Sarah Ferguson thanked the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein for his friendship in bombshell new emails released as part of the latest Epstein files. The former Duchess of York, 66, sent Epstein an email on August 3, 2009, telling him that he was like a “brother” to her.
The email from Sarah read: “In just week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted. I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me in front of my girls. Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.”
Other emails from 2009 show Sarah calling Epstein a “legend”, with an email in 2010 showing they were still in contact as she invited the late paedophile to Andrew’s 50th birthday party at St. James’s Palace. It is believed Epstein couldn’t attend.
It has been reported that the invite and emails were sent to Epstein after he was released from prison in July 2009 for soliciting prostitution of a minor, as reported by The Daily Mail. Sarah Ferguson has been contacted for comment.
