Charities Cut Ties After Duchess' Apology Email to Epstein Emerges
Multiple UK charities ended Sarah Ferguson’s patronages after her 2011 apology to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including 35 years with the Teenage Cancer Trust.
- Sarah, Duchess of York, sent a 2011 email to Jeffrey Epstein calling him her 'supreme friend' and apologizing for publicly rejecting him.
- She sent the email after being advised to appease Epstein following his threats to sue her for defamation related to paedophilia accusations.
- The email's publication led seven charities, including Teenage Cancer Trust and British Heart Foundation, to sever ties with the duchess as their patron or ambassador.
- She admitted to accepting £15,000 from Epstein in 2011 to pay unpaid wages and promised to repay the money and avoid any future association with him.
- The severing of ties amid the Epstein scandal has damaged her reputation, complicating her charity work and leading to exclusion from official royal events.
