Ferguson reportedly replied that Beatrice was in London with Andrew and that “Eugie is away with cool boyfriend.”
Praise and Familiarity
Other emails released in the files show Ferguson speaking warmly about Epstein, including messages sent after he complimented her in front of her daughters.
In an email dated August 3, 2009, Ferguson wrote: “In just week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted. I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me in front of my girls.
“Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.”
Strained Family Relationships
It has previously been reported that Beatrice and Eugenie distanced themselves from their parents—particularly their father—following earlier fallout from the Epstein scandal. Now, it is believed that similar distance may extend to their relationship with their mother.
Both Andrew and Ferguson have been forced to leave their former home at Royal Lodge. Andrew is reportedly living at Marsh Farm, while Sarah has been making her “own arrangements.”
There had been speculation that Ferguson might move into a granny flat at Beatrice’s Cotswolds property, but that offer was later withdrawn.
