"She has lost the trust of the public, her readers and the charities with whom she was involved and it will be difficult to regain that," royal author

Several charities dropped Sarah Ferguson after it was reported she sent an apologetic email to Jeffrey Epstein, who was later found guilty of abusing minors.
"You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family," the Duchess of York wrote.

Sarah Ferguson called her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein a "gigantic error of judgement" and declared "what he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed."
The author reassured the public she would "have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again," but in her follow-up email to him she "humbly apologized" for her statements.

Sarah Ferguson's scandal continues to follow her — so much so,
Prince Andrew,
Princess Beatrice and
Princess Eugenie avoided publicly celebrating her birthday.
To make matters worse,
LBC reported Andrew canceled her 66th birthday party at Windsor.

For his part, Prince Andrew's titles were taken away from him as more details from Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir come to light.
"In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family," Andrew said in a statement. "I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me."
