🚨NEW Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been dropped by four charities after a 2011 email surfaced calling Jeffrey Epstein her “supreme friend.”

(BBC)

Julia’s House, a children’s hospice in Dorset & Wiltshire, was the first to cut ties, saying it was “inappropriate” for her to continue as patron.

Soon after, the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Children’s Literacy Charity, and Prevent Breast Cancer also ended her patronages too.

The Teenage Cancer Trust, where she’s been patron for 35 years, says it is now reviewing the situation.

The backlash follows an email she sent Epstein in 2011 (after his 2008 conviction) where she apologized for her public rejection of him and wrote, “You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family.”

That email contradicted what Ferguson said publicly in interviews the same year, calling her involvement with Epstein a “gigantic error of judgment.”

She added, “what he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed.”

Her spokesperson now claims the email was sent only because Epstein was threatening to sue her for defamation, and that she regrets any association.

This comes in the shadow of Prince Andrew’s downfall from Royal life. Andrew stepped back from royal duties and lost patronages over his Epstein ties (and this photo 👇) and accusations of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre, for which he settled out of court.

Pressure continues here in the U.S. for the release of Epstein’s full network of connections, as more messages and records have surfaced.
