New Revelation from Epstein Files: Sarah Ferguson Reportedly Introduced Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to Jeffrey Epstein
She vowed to cut all ties — but behind the scenes, their relationship allegedly only deepened.
She called him the "brother I always wished for" and begged him to "just marry me." Now, Sarah Ferguson's disturbingly cozy relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has erupted back into public view — and her daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are once again caught in the fallout.

In a bombshell twist to one of the Royal Family's darkest sagas, newly released US court documents appear to contradict years of denials from the former Duchess of York — revealing she not only continued her friendship with Jeffrey after his prison sentence, but also brought her daughters along for lunch meetings and visits.

The 3-Million-Page File Dump That Reignited the Royal Shame
On Friday, 30 January 2026, the US Department of Justice released a trove of over three million documents — including 180,000 images — linked to Jeffrey and his network. Among the files: a flurry of emails referencing Sarah and her daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice, as well as her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
In one shocking revelation, Andrew is said to have sent Jeffrey photos of the princesses, while Sarah reportedly made a vulgar joke about Eugenie in an email to the disgraced financier.

Though the public first heard whispers last year that Sarah had taken her daughters to visit Jeffrey in the summer of 2009, after his release from jail for soliciting prostitution from a minor, she strongly denied the claims at the time.
But these newly unsealed documents suggest otherwise — and the evidence is deeply damning.

'I Am Aiming to Get to You for Lunch': Emails Reveal Shocking Itinerary
An email dated July 2009 from someone signed only as "Sarah" — believed to be the former Duchess — confirms lunch plans with Jeffrey and her daughters.
"I am aiming to get to you for 12:30 for lunch. Does that suit?" she asks, going on to explain, "I made Phillip give us his car and a back up one for the policeman."
Jeffrey, it seems, even offered them a ride — which was declined in favor of a borrowed car. "Sarah" then confirms that it would me "myself, Beatrice and Eugenie."

Another email, dated 3 August 2009, sees "Sarah" gushing to Jeffrey about her brand deals, saying she had just met with Target about her "Mothers Army" initiative, and that Tommy Hilfiger, Ryan Seacrest, and Ben Silverman were all eager to get involved.
"In just one 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 infront of my girls [sic]," she said.
But it's the final line that turns stomachs. "Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for," she wrote.

'Just Marry Me'
In a previously unseen email from 2010, "Sarah" — using an address partially redacted but beginning with "fer" — appears to flirt openly with Jeffrey, just nine months after he walked free from jail.
"You are a legend. I really don't have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me," she wrote.

The former duchess would go on to publicly apologize for her ties to the investor a year later, in March 2011, insisting she would have "nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again."
But just one month later, Jeffrey emailed his lawyer Paul Tweed, demanding that Sarah "should affirmatively state that she was misquoted."

The financier reportedly went on to say that Sarah had been the first to celebrate his release from prison, with her two daughters in tow — and even alleged she visited him while a policeman sat stationed at his front desk.
"She has asked for help with her charities," he wrote at the time — a claim now appearing increasingly credible in light of the newly unsealed emails.

"Sh*****g Weekend": Crude Language and Unfiltered Access
Yet more emails from 2010 show "Sarah" keeping up contact with Jeffrey — including one note where she explains a delay in visiting by writing, "Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a sh*****g weekend."
The comment, allegedly made near Eugenie's 20th birthday — which she spent with now-husband Jack Brooksbank — is as indiscreet as it is inappropriate.
In another chilling exchange, Jeffrey asks whether Beatrice or Eugenie might say hello to an unnamed person in London. "Sarah" responds that Beatrice is with her father, adding, "Eugie is away with a cool boyfriend."

Denials Collapse as Public Backlash Builds
Sarah has long insisted that any friendly emails sent to Jeffrey after his sentence were attempts to appease him, after he allegedly threatened to sue her for associating him with paedophilia.
Her PR team has painted the emails — even one in which she called Jeffrey a "supreme friend" — as damage control.
But when that very email to Jeffrey's lawyer surfaced in 2025, the fallout was immediate: her children's book "Flora and Fern: Kindness Along the Way" was pulled from shelves, charities cut ties, and experts warned her brand was radioactive.
Now, with these latest revelations, public disgust is mounting — and her daughters are reeling.

'They Are Mortified': Beatrice and Eugenie Left Reeling by Emails
A source close to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie told the Daily Mail the two women are stunned and humiliated by the contents of the Epstein files.
"They are aghast at what they have read. They are mortified by the emails their mother has sent to Epstein. It is so embarrassing for them," the source said.

They added: "We don't believe the girls were told much about what has just emerged... and they will simply be aghast at just how close their parents were to this appalling man."
For two princesses already battling the weight of royal scandal — from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's disastrous BBC interview to Sarah's financial and PR blunders — this is yet another stain on their public image.
