Some just love a freebie, so when famously frivolous Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> and Sarah Ferguson<\/a> tied the knot it seemed a match made in heaven. Even when getting divorced they seemed barely able to disentangle themselves from each other, spending decades co-habiting at the 31-room Crown Estate mansion Royal Lodge<\/a> in Windsor<\/a> until a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n They lived like a duke and a duchess, because they were … that is until their recurring ties and inability to extricate themselves from the web and wealth of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> left them publicly shamed. Now – after fresh claims that we all footed the bill for Andrew to enjoy massages – it seems their joint love of the lavish<\/a> and the taxpayer-funded freebie could prove both their ultimate undoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n During her 10-year marriage to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Fergie was infamous for exorbitant spending on staff, travel, and lifestyle, resulting in debts of over \u00a33.7 million by 1994 (reportedly covered by Queen Elizabeth II.)<\/p>\n After her 1996 divorce she continued to face debt; then in 2009, her lifestyle and wellness firm Hartmoor collapsed while owing over \u00a3630,000.<\/p>\n In 2010, during the Cash-for-Access Scandal, she was filmed accepting \u00a315,000 to facilitate access to Prince Andrew<\/a>, admitting later she was “substantially” in debt.<\/p>\n She also admitted accepting thousands of pounds from vile Epstein to pay off debts.<\/p>\n Recently released emails suggested she asked Epstein how to deal with a multi-million pound debt pile while he was still in jail. She then appeared to ask Epstein for \u00a320,000 “urgently” to pay rent in 2009.<\/p>\n “The landlord has threatened to go to the newspapers if I don’t pay. Any brainwaves?” the email said.<\/p>\n Another email from the paedophile claimed that he had helped her financially for 15 years, while she had also appeared to ask for a role as his house assistant in May 2010.<\/p>\n “I am the most capable and desperately need the money… Please Jeffrey think about it.”<\/p>\n
