Among the latest emails, published by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 31, are messages suggesting that Jeffrey Epstein once asked Sarah Ferguson whether she or her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, could provide a private tour of “Buckingham.”
The disclosure has inevitably pulled the two princesses back into the widening controversy tied to their parents’ past associations with Epstein.
The Buckingham Request
A March 2010 email exchange shows Epstein forwarding a message and directly appealing to Ferguson.
On March 7, 2010, he wrote, “Sarah, could you or one of your daughters show [redaction] Buckingham thanks.”
The forwarded note was reportedly sent from Epstein’s iPhone.
Ferguson responded the same day, appearing open to the idea, though she added an unrelated remark: “Of course. But get Keith on a massive advance !!”
While the individual intended for the tour remains redacted, “Buckingham” is widely believed to mean Buckingham Palace, the royal family’s London residence and administrative base. It is unclear whether the proposed visit ever took place.
