The former Duchess of York is alleged to have been in a sexual relationship with the pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Sarah Ferguson’s desperate emails and texts to Epstein have emerged in the latest drop of files by The US Department of Justice.
Royal author Andrew Lownie has claimed that ‘Fergie’ was madly in love with the convicted pedophile and they may have even ‘slept together’.
The Express reports: Speaking during a live appearance on his ‘Lownie Report’ podcast on Substack, royal author Andrew Lownie claimed: “Andrew was sleeping with Ghislaine, Ghislaine was sleeping with Epstein … I’ve heard that Epstein and Sarah were sleeping together. It doesn’t surprise me.”
He added: “There’s a complicated psychosexual network going on as well as a financial one. Certainly, Ghislaine and Sarah were not friends. I think Ghislaine was rather jealous of Sarah and vice versa. She felt that Sarah was moving in on someone she saw as her boyfriend.”
The writer expanded on his claims, telling the Mirror: “Sarah Ferguson was madly in love with Epstein and apparently spent several nights with him.”
Files released in 2025 revealed the dynamic between Ferguson and Epstein, prompting several charities and organisations to cut ties with the former duchess.
The latest release of more than 3 million documents from the so-called Epstein files may have shed further light on the dynamic.
In September 2011, Sarah allegedly emailed Epstein, congratulating him on having a “baby boy” – it was not previously known he had fathered children – and then minutes later appeared to send a seething follow-up message.
“Don’t know if you are still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger] but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” the initial email allegedly reads. “Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx.”
Just eight minutes later, she allegedly wrote: “You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a baby. It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew. And that really hurt me deeply. More than you will know.”
In another exchange from 2009, she allegedly wrote: “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness…Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.”
