Following the release of documents detailing Sarah Ferguson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, six companies where she was the sole director are being shut down. The companies, including S Phoenix Events and Fergie's Farm, are being struck off the Companies House register. The decision comes after the publication of emails and other communications between Ferguson and Epstein, some occurring after his 2008 conviction. These revelations have also led to the closure of Ferguson's charity, Sarah's Trust, and the severing of ties with other charitable organizations. Additionally, a book publication was cancelled last autumn.
