In a leaked
email allegedly sent by Sarah Ferguson after denouncing Jeffrey Epstein in a 2011 interview, she highlighted their close bond.
"I know you feel hellaciously let down by me. And I must humbly apologize to you and your heart for that,"
Prince Andrew's ex-wife wrote in the message. "You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family. I am apologizing to you today for not replying to your email or reaching out to you. I was bedridden with fear. I was paralyzed."
During the sit-down in question, Ferguson, who accepted 15,000 pounds from Epstein, declared, "Whenever I can, I will repay the money and have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again."

The children's hospice organization, Julia's House, announced they were stopping its work with Sarah Ferguson after joining forces in 2018 following the release of the alleged email to Jeffrey Epstein.
"Following the information shared this weekend on the Duchess of York's correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, Julia's House has taken the decision that it would be inappropriate for her to continue as a patron of the charity,'' a representative said in a
statement. "We have advised the Duchess of York of this decision and thank her for her past support."

The Teenage Cancer Trust, which collaborated with Sarah Ferguson for 35 years, also denounced her as a patron.
Others followed in line, with the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation and the Prevent B***** Cancer organization ending their partnership with the royal.

In a
statement from Sarah Ferguson's representative, further explanation was provided about her correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein.
"The Duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims. Like many people, she was taken in by his lies," the message read. "As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with pedophilia. She does not resile from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the Duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats."
