According to The Daily Mail, another message sent roughly a year later shows Ferguson apologising that her daughters were unavailable to host a different friend of Epstein’s.
Miami Lunch After Prison Release
Separate correspondence included in the release places Beatrice and Eugenie at a lunch with Epstein in Miami in July 2009 — just five days after his release from prison.
Emails dated July 27, 2009, show Ferguson confirming the meeting. A follow-up message sent on August 3, 2009, suggests she felt the encounter had a positive effect.
“In just one week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted,” Ferguson wrote.
These revelations come amid continued repercussions for their father. Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 due to his longstanding association with Epstein and was formally stripped of his royal titles in October 2025. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Royal commentator Richard Palmer noted that the repeated references to Beatrice and Eugenie complicate efforts to fully distance them from the controversy.
