I’ve only looked through a fraction of the emails between Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew). Given the sheer volume of email traffic between the three which we’ve already seen, I think it’s safe to say that they were all in constant contact for many years, and for years after Epstein’s conviction and prison sentence. What’s remarkable about the communications between Sarah and Epstein especially is just how often she talked to Epstein about her daughters and how often she referenced bringing Beatrice and Eugenie over to New York or what have you. Like, Andrew and Sarah had zero qualms about bringing their teenage daughters around Jeffrey Epstein. It’s insane. And Sarah was constantly oversharing about her life and B&E’s lives with Epstein too. Well, now there’s a Mail exclusive about how Beatrice and Eugenie are feeling as they see all of these new documents.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are ‘aghast’ at their mother’s embarrassing tranche of emails to Jeffrey Epstein. Sources close to the princesses say they are also ‘appalled’ and ’embarrassed’ about the new photos of their father Andrew crouching over a mystery woman lying on the floor. The sisters have been left ashamed of their mothers sycophantic emails to the paedophile financier after his conviction for child sex crimes. Sarah Ferguson fawned over Epstein, who famously paid some of her debts, telling the convicted sex offender he was a ‘legend’ and joked that they should get married.
Another email mentioned her daughter Eugenie’s sex life and revealed Fergie had taken her children to lunch with the convicted paedophile when they were teenagers. The Mail has also today unearthed an email from Ms Ferguson that suggests Epstein had a secret child. The former Duchess of York also accused him of abandoning her in 2011 and said it was ‘crystal clear’ he was only her friend to get close to her ex-husband Andrew.
A source close to Eugenie and Beatrice told the Daily Mail: ‘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.’
Another email from their mother said that Eugenie was away on a ‘sh**ging weekend’ while another revealed that Fergie had taken both daughters for lunch with Epstein in Miami in July 2009. The former Duchess of York – who has faced her own Epstein controversies – is seen praising the late convicted sex offender as the ‘brother I have always wished for’ and told him ‘just marry me’. In one email Fergie wrote: ‘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.’
The source close to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie said it was now clear that King Charles and Prince William knew there was more scandal to come for the disgraced Yorks. The source said: ‘It seems clear that William and the King were given some kind of forewarning in intelligence briefings late last year about what was still to come. They obviously couldn’t share that, and when they evicted Andrew and Sarah from Royal Lodge, some people thought it was too harsh. In the light of what’s now come out, it looks a more appropriate sanction. But we don’t believe the girls [Beatrice and Eugenie] 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.’
“It seems clear that William and the King were given some kind of forewarning in intelligence briefings late last year about what was still to come.” Let’s dissect that for a moment, shall we? It’s widely believed that Buckingham Palace got an advance copy of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, just as it’s widely believed that King Charles had some advanced knowledge about what was about to come out last fall. But that’s just it – besides Virginia’s memoir, British intelligence should have known about ALL of this for many years. Were they honestly not briefing Charles or Queen Elizabeth during that time? It’s it far more likely that Charles has known for years about much of this Andrew-Epstein stuff, and Charles still did a lot to shield Andrew and cover up his crimes? I’m really stuck on this – who knew what and when, specifically when it came to intelligence briefings. I think those are fair questions to ask of the palaces as well.
As for Beatrice and Eugenie… I’m sure they are mortified and aghast. You can know what your mother is like, but seeing it all out there in black-and-white, in the FBI files, is another thing altogether. No wonder neither daughter invited Fergie to live with them.

Scooter still had Andrew right next to him and his family on those church walks. Scoot and Charles knew what was going on with Andrew but were shocked shocked when more incriminating news came out publicly about Andrew
I would think things have gone WAY past being embarrassed. Fergie bringing her TEENAGE daughters around a known Pedophile is HORRIFYING. I shudder to think what they might have been exposed to.
Well, they also lived with one! Fergie had no problem with that!
This is the age of court transcripts by way of email of every conversation that you’ve ever had…. On email, at least, in the court of public opinion. It used to be, people said things in anger which, upon reflection, cooled into gelatinous residue which was duly dispatched with the bins and banana peels. Now? It goes in a museum, of intangible proof of betrayal, recorded for posterity, and future use. We have weaponised communication. This may not be a bad thing but there are repercussions. It used to be the case that “reality” was how you actually felt in someone’s presence, live, like, life itself was the test. Now? It’s what they wrote in a silly email ten or twenty years ago. That thing that you imagined, that dark shade across your memory, a niggling perception of iniquity? Verified. Vindicated. This can be salvation or eternal damnation. People don’t reconcile what they are in different settings. Someone can be soothing to your face and then stab you in the back. If your relationship is on wobbly footing, this can be what tips you into running away or getting better traction. Just ….thoughts. I feel for the girls. Really.
Many many years ago an IT specialists told our team not to put anything in an email that we wouldn’t want everyone in the company to read… now that’s updated to everyone on the planet! I avoid putting anything in writing that is derisive as you know that someone somewhere has access.
Andrew and Sarah were certainly a match – both selfish, greedy, smarmy and arrogant.
Why are you minimizing emails and written communication?
This isn’t three dashed off emails with nasty gossip. It’s communication over a long time frame, coordinating logistics, congratulating a p*do on a (secret) son being born (?????), sharing intimate family details. And money grubbing endlessly. It’s a pattern of behavior that benefited and encouraged a monster, not just Fergie being a silly goose.
@YankeeDoodles your comment is very insightful and I don’t think I’ve seen it phrased that way. We have indeed weaponized communication. And yes indeed no wonder why the York sisters want all the distance in the world from their awful parents.
So fergie thought of Epstein as a brother and wanted to marry him. No comment
Good luck with that .
She was too old…😒
Epstein even looked sleazy. Fergie bringing her daughter’s give a me the shivers
there is a vid of Epstein chasing after some little girls and it is so creepy. how can anybody willingly bring their daughters to him knowing that he is pedo.
I have wondered if the York sisters were offered by their parents to Epstein, at this point I would not put it past them.
Fergie is a shameful individual who possibly pretend dangled her daughters to Epstein so she could squeeze more out of him.
Yup. That’s the vibe i get, @Neeve. I see it the same way. I mean. Not that she would actually pimp out her kids (though she did make out with her “financial advisor” in front of them), but……. She would license the fantasy. These people are always playing with fire, thinking it can’t burn them. She’s not some bumbling halfwit. She’s kind of malevolent. A lot of the people who enabled Epstein were women: Ghislaine, Fergie, Mette-Marit, Sofia’s EB mentoressa, if I can coin a word…. There’s always an older woman.
They’re both mothers, too, so I am sure this hits in a way that isn’t just about them as daughters, but about the choices they have made around their own roles as parents.
The Andrew and Sarah karma bus turns out to be a steamroller….
Yes to what you just said! My heart goes out to Beatrice and Eugenie. It’s one thing to have one shitty parent but two…damn, I can’t imagine. I’m glad they’ve cut them out of their lives. They should definitely not have access to their grandkids.
OMG the daughters must be like who can we turn too in this disgusting situation that their parents have involved them in!!! Yes they have each other and their husbands but to have your own parents behave in this manner and be a part of human trafficking must be hard for them to take. As for Chuckles and when he knew? I believe he knew long before the files were out and he protected his pedo brother like he has protected other pedos (Jimmy Saville). Chuckles also made very bad decisions!!
Seeing everything in detail must be sickening for the daughters especially the crude remarks of Fergie and the upsetting photo of Andrew in relation to a girl. Neither had any qualms about Epstein in fact they embraced him. Both fawned over him and were birds of a feather: crude, callous, sex obsessed and sleazy. Both daughters have to protect their own children from being exposed to harm.
It’s interesting bc the crude comment about Eugenie. Was she referring to Eugenie and Jack? So gross.
I will say this for the late Queen and Charles — I think they did a lot of what they did to protect the sisters. That deserves some acknowledgment. And themselves. But more the girls, really.
No, it was all about the crown. It’s always about the crown and the heirs and what they can use for PR.
The Queen had a soft spot for Andrew so he got away with a lot, but I don’t think there was any thought given to his daughters ever.
absolutely, the Crown comes first.
someone in the Firm knew about his relationship with epstein – maybe they didn’t know what was said in every email or what every single picture was – but they knew. And they protected him then and are STILL protecting him now. And that’s not out of a love of Andrew, its for the Crown.
But have they protected B&E? They had to know everything would come out eventually and wouldn’t it be better to tell them in private than how they are hearing it all now along with the rest of the world.
I mean they said they protected Meghan too. Looking back though, Charles did invite them to the Christmas walk this year. Was that a sign of protection? And remember it was leaked that William didn’t want them there. But as for protecting the daughters overall? Putting an end to Andrew and Eugenie’s games with Epstein years and years ago would have protected them but the Queen or Charles sure weren’t able to manage that.
The knew. Unless Andrew was able to get his security team and overall team to lie for years. Would they lie to the Queen if pressed or Charles? For Andrew? I thought everyone had to answer to head of the hierarchy.
So they have long known the firestorm that was about to hit but did nothing to prepare the daughters. Just left them twisting in the wind. Unless the daughters had an inkling too. How could they not with a mother who “over shares” so freely? It’s genuinely hard to pick a team here.
It’s taken them a very long time to be mortified by their parents. The question should be asked how much did they know about Esptein and Maxwell? They also spent some time in NY did they make contact with Esptein when they lived there? We also have to remember that these two women have no qualms about going to lunch with the likes of Piers Morgan. Their presence at Sandringham showed that their loyalty is to the Crown and that the Palace is still willing to protect them.
I think those are fair questions.
Maybe this is unfair, but I’m really starting to wonder what the York daughters knew, suspected, or felt about Epstein.
They were around him on multiple occasions, apparently from a fairly young age? And kids often have a better sense of which adults are skeevy or untrustworthy than parents or other adults do (not excusing the York parents in any way!)
I just wonder. They grew up in a house with parents who clearly have zero moral compass, massive entitlement, and an ongoing “need” to grift to support their desired lifestyle. You can conceal things from kids, but a lot of people don’t because they see nothing wrong with their own behavior. In which case the kids know perfectly well what’s really going on.
We know Beatrice was directly involved with guiding Andrew’s “disastrous” — aka unintentionally truthful — 2019 interview. We have tended to assume the girls were blinded by parental love and are blindsided by all this.
But what keeps coming out… they’re “embarrassed” by all this? How about utterly appalled and horrified that both their parents were deeply enmeshed with a pedophile, pimp, trafficker & rapist? Why haven’t they spoken out in support of the victims?
I just wonder if all this concern for the Poor Little York Girls isn’t actually misplaced. I would be very happy to be wrong.
I think since they were around it from so young (and had parents who were apparently comfortable), if they had qualms they were squashed early. Kids have ok radars. Unless maybe they’re in a family that is also skeevy (parents and enabler friends) and are expected to keep sweet/stiff upper lip. Then it’s just the air they breathe and the water they swim in, and they’ve been taught to turn off any internal alarm. In other words, I think they were groomed to accept this shit from a young age.
Everyone saying they are horrified she brought her daughters around him are failing to account for class dynamics. I’m sure Fergie felt perfectly safe bringing her girls around epstein because they are being raised as predators, not prey, secure in their innate superiority and inalienable privilege. Only plebs get trafficked.
@Meg
Oh, g*d. This is incisive & brilliantly on point. What a horrifying truth.
OMG, you’re right Meg! The York girls, because of their privilege, could never be seen as victims like those trafficked girls would be! So their parents were be fine with them being exposed to Epstein and other freaks like him! They were protected because of their elevated status! Jeez!
especially because one of them has a human trafficking non-profit!?!?! I could NEVER believe this was not a question posed to eugenie about why she chose this area of work. Did you pick this topic because of the guilt you felt and wrong doing of your parents/father and his friends that you wanted to correct, or were you using it to cover for them, or were you so naive or trusting that you believed your parents fully when they said they never did anything wrong/their friends like epstein never did anything wrong.
because I would even believe if epstein and friends have donated to eugenie’s org making it the most absurb piece of hypocrisy I’ve ever heard of.

I wish people and the media would stop saying Andrew is pictured crouched over a “woman.” We’re not sure of the age of the female beneath him. … She may have been a girl.
I’m sure Beatrice and Eugenie are appalled by the emails but they must have known before this that their parents are horrible people. I continue to reserve my sympathy for Epstein’s victims.
Andrew and Sarah are even worse parents than I thought. Not only did they continue to communicate with this monster after he was convicted of SA, they also brought their daughters around him. This is proof that Eugenie and Beatrice met Epstein at least once for lunch that we know of (but it probably happened more than that). Were they minors when they first met him? Obviously it is not their fault they were first exposed to him in this way. And for Sarah to casually talk about her daughter’s love life in that crass way to him via email… I don’t think I’d ever forgive that.
B&E may have been in denial after the first accusations from Virginia but it’s clear they can now see their parents for who they truly are. I feel sorry for them, I really do. But at the same time I hope they also take a lesson in being very careful who they associate with, especially rich billionaires with zero morals. I feel like Eugenie is a bit smarter than Beatrice in that regard (Beatrice was the one after all who attended interview prep meetings with Andrew for the disastrous NewsNight interview).
