Duchess of York dropped as patron of children's hospice Julia's House over Epstein email

Julia's House removed the Duchess of York as patron after her 2011 email to Epstein, where she called him a 'supreme friend' despite earlier public disavowal, citing legal threats.

  • Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was removed from her role as a patron of the children's hospice Julia's House following the revelation of an email she sent to Jeffrey Epstein in which she apologised to him.
  • Julia's House made this decision following information shared about the duchess's 2011 email in which she called Epstein her 'supreme friend' and apologised privately.
  • The duchess had publicly condemned Epstein, cut off contact, and apologised in a March 7, 2011 interview for accepting £15,000 from him, calling her association a 'gigantic error of judgment'.
  • Julia's House announced that the Duchess of York would no longer serve as a patron due to recent revelations about her correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, expressed gratitude for her previous involvement, and noted that the message was sent amid Epstein's threat to sue her for defamation.
  • The removal reflects the charity's stance based on the email and the duchess's expressed regret, her intent to repay the money, and her commitment to avoid any future connections with Epstein.
