Sarah Ferguson faces fresh humiliation as charity shuts shop after scandal | Royal | News

Sarah’s Trust confirmed it will be shutting its doors following “months” of apparent deliberation. A charity spokesman said: “Our chair, Sarah Ferguson, and the board of trustees have agreed that, with regret, the charity will shortly close for the foreseeable future.

“This has been under discussion and in train for some months. We remain extremely proud of the trust’s work over recent years. We have partnered with over 60 other charities in over 20 countries, providing education, healthcare, crisis response and environmental projects.”

They continued: “We delivered over 150,000 aid parcels during the Covid pandemic, provided medical aid and training for those affected by the war in Ukraine and delivered education for over 200 children in Ghana.”

Among the more than three million documents released by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) last week were emails appearing to show Fergie was in contact with Epstein while he was in prison for soliciting sex from a minor.

She had emailed Epstein to reportedly arrange the visit, writing: “What address shall we come to. It will be me, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?”

Emails reportedly showed the group met at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in Florida.

In another email, Ferguson appears to congratulate Epstein on the arrival of a “baby boy”.

Previous revelations surrounding the former duchess’s ties to Epstein led to her being dropped as a patron or ambassador from multiple charities.

The Teenage Cancer Trust, Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Children’s Literacy Charity, National Foundation for Retired Service Animals and Prevent Breast Cancer also announced they had dropped Ferguson as patron.

The latest release of files related to the late Epstein also included pictures of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling over a female lying on the floor. Mountbatten-Windsor has always consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
