Sarah Ferguson called Epstein ‘brother’ and ‘legend’, new emails reveal

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Newly released emails reveal that Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, referred to Jeffrey Epstein as a "legend" and the "brother I have always wished for." The emails, dated August 2009, show Ferguson expressing gratitude to Epstein for business opportunities arising for her company, "Mother Army," after he hosted a lunch meeting. This revelation sheds new light on the extent of Ferguson's ties to Epstein, whose friendship with Prince Andrew has been under scrutiny for years. The emails were released by US authorities as part of the ongoing investigation into Epstein's activities. Ferguson, who divorced Andrew in 1996 but remains close to him, largely avoided the worst of the Epstein scandal until now.
