In April, Sarah Ferguson was finally “found” after being “missing” for over four months. In the first four months of 2026, there were random, unverified sightings of Sarah all over the place, from California to Qatar to England. No one knew where she was or how she was funding her lifestyle. Then in April, a paparazzo got some grainy photos of Sarah staying at a ski resort in Austria. Sources claimed she’d been hiding out there for months and using the spa facilities. Does anyone else think it’s weird that no one has heard from her or seen her since? I wonder if she left Austria and went into hiding somewhere else. The vibe I’ve gotten from Sarah’s moves is that she’s scared to death. Well, with Sarah still missing (I guess), the Telegraph decided to examine some of Sarah’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, specifically around the 2009 period where Epstein was sort of in prison. It turns out, Sarah literally went to visit him.

Sarah Ferguson visited Jeffrey Epstein twice at his office for a bogus firm he set up while imprisoned on a child sex offence. The former Duchess of York met the convicted paedophile on two occasions at the Palm Beach office of the fake company he invented to secure work release while in jail. She also planned to meet him a third time at the headquarters of the bogus firm, the Florida Science Foundation, but her travel plans fell through at the last minute.

Lord Mandelson also phoned Epstein at the office and video-called him there on one occasion while he was staying in the financier’s New York mansion, The Telegraph has discovered. Epstein victims have alleged in recent weeks that he abused them at the office on 250 South Australian Avenue while he was supposed to be in jail at the nearby Palm Beach County Stockade.

The sex offender was granted access to a generous work release programme after he had been jailed for procuring a minor for prostitution in June 2008, which allowed him to leave his cell for up to 12 hours a day.

Roza, one of Epstein’s estimated 1,200 victims of sexual abuse, told Congress in May that he had offered her a job at the foundation while he was jailed between June 2008 and July 2009, and that he had abused her at the office.

Ms Ferguson visited Epstein at the premises twice during that period. She messaged him on April 4, 2009, to ask whether she could stop by for “a quick cup of tea” during a layover in Florida – nine months into Epstein’s sentence. She signed off the email: “Love Sarah The red Head.!!” Epstein gave her the phone number and address of the office and told her it was “ten minutes from [the] airport”. He followed up two days later to tell her she looked “great” and that he had read “everything you gave me”.

Ms Ferguson had dropped off documents relating to her Mother’s Army initiative, an online network she launched the next year to connect women in need. She replied five days later, telling Epstein: “My dear spectacular and special friend Jeffrey. You are a legend, and I am so proud of you. Thank you for looking after me so well.”

Ms Ferguson made plans to visit Epstein at his office again for lunch the next week on her way to Canada from a trip to Grenada, but they fell through.

Yeah, I don’t know what else to say, this is gross and it’s been gross this whole time. It’s macabre and also sort of fascinating to read these emails and realize that Epstein had completely separate relationships with Prince Andrew and Sarah as well. With Andrew, Epstein had comradery and kompromat. Even though Epstein clearly used Andrew and his position for years, it’s also clear that they genuinely regarded each other as friends. With Sarah, she was desperately trying to con Epstein out of whatever money she could get, and he seemed to regard her as a daffy, desperate but ultimately harmless person.
