Sarah Ferguson’s long questioned relationship with the convicted sex offender has resurfaced in disturbing detail. This time, it is not only her own reputation under scrutiny, but also the position of her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are again dragged into a scandal they never chose.
Newly released documents reopen old wounds
On 30 January 2026, the US Department of Justice made public more than three million documents connected to Epstein and his associates. Among the material were emails and records referencing Sarah Ferguson, her former husband Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and their two daughters.
The files appear to contradict years of public denials. They indicate that Sarah maintained contact with Epstein after his 2008 conviction and prison sentence, and that she met him socially while accompanied by Beatrice and Eugenie.
One email from July 2009, signed simply “Sarah”, discusses lunch arrangements and explicitly names both daughters as attending. The message also mentions security measures and transportation, suggesting the meeting was planned rather than incidental.
