Several charities cut ties with Duchess of York over Epstein email

Several charities including Teenage Cancer Trust ended their patronage of the Duchess of York after an email revealed her describing Jeffrey Epstein as a 'supreme friend'.

  • On Monday, September 22, several charities severed ties with Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, after British newspapers published her email calling Jeffrey Epstein a 'supreme friend'.
  • Following a March 7, 2011 interview, the email dated April 26, 2011, showed Ferguson apologising for accepting 15,000 and vowed to cut contact with Epstein.
  • Julia's House, a children's hospice, The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Prevent Breast Cancer, and Teenage Cancer Trust ended ties with the Duchess, calling the correspondence inappropriate or saying they were disturbed.
  • Following the announcements, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is no longer a patron for multiple charities, and her spokesman said she sent the email under Epstein's legal threats and expressed regret.
  • Prince Andrew's earlier fallout illustrates how his Epstein ties led firms and charities to cut ties, while royal biographers warned the revelations could further damage Ferguson's reputation.
