Royal Turmoil: Demand to Strip Sarah Ferguson's Title After Epstein Email
ROYAL SHOCKER: Duchess of York's Ties with Convicted Paedophile Exposed
In a bombshell that has left the royal family reeling, Virginia Giuffre's devastated family is demanding that Sarah Ferguson be stripped of her royal title over her association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The explosive revelations have sparked outrage and raised questions about the Duchess's judgment and morality.
The controversy began when an email emerged in which Ferguson apologized to Epstein for letting him down and referred to him as a "supreme friend" - just months after his conviction for sex crimes. The shocking correspondence has left many wondering how someone with such a title could be so blind to Epstein's depraved behavior.
Virginia Giuffre's family is furious, with her brother Sky Roberts tearing into Ferguson's conduct on BBC Newsnight. "To call Epstein a 'supreme friend' after his conviction is indefensible," he fumed. "The public is watching, and this is just the beginning."
Sky's wife Amanda Roberts was equally damning: "Every survivor faces defamation. If you're in Epstein's circle, it was very obvious what was happening. Minors were around him constantly. For friends to act unaware is preposterous." The couple called for urgent accountability, not just for Ferguson but also for her ex-husband Prince Andrew, who paid a multi-million pound settlement to Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability after she accused him of sexually assaulting her three times when she was 17 - allegations he strongly denies.
The settlement has raised more questions than answers. Sky Roberts didn't mince words: "He has questions to answer. The settlement avoided discovery, which could have exposed more." Amanda Roberts added that Virginia was left "disgusted" by Prince Andrew's infamous 2019 interview with BBC Newsnight, saying it showed his inability to give a consistent or convincing account of events.
But the controversy doesn't stop there. Ferguson's association with Epstein has also led to her involvement in child-focused charities being called into question. The Teenage Cancer Trust and British Heart Foundation have already severed ties with her. "It's untenable," Sky Roberts said. "She can't be associated with these charities while she was friends with someone like Epstein."
The family is also warning of a potential cover-up at the highest levels, saying that political pressure is being used to block the release of Epstein-related documents in the US Congress. Amanda Roberts was scathing: "They have to do a real gut check with their morality... Am I going to stand by paedophiles or am I gonna serve my constituents?"
Sky added: "We're not accusing anybody of anything. Your actions speak louder than words. And right now, their actions stink of a cover-up. Period." The family's demands for accountability are clear: Ferguson must be stripped of her royal title, and those involved in the Epstein scandal must face justice.
But what do we know about Ferguson's association with Epstein? According to her spokesperson, "The Duchess spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago, and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims." However, the email revealed a very different story. Ferguson apologized to Epstein for letting him down and referred to him as a "supreme friend" - just months after his conviction.
It's clear that Ferguson was well aware of Epstein's behavior long before she publicly condemned him. Her spokesperson claimed that she was "taken in by his lies," but the email suggests that she was more than willing to play along. The Duchess has published over 50 children and young adult books, including her popular Budgie the Helicopter series. But now, her association with Epstein has left a stain on her reputation.
In November, Ferguson is due to publish Kindness Along The Way, the second book in her new series of Flora & Fen picture books. Will she still be able to promote these books with any credibility? The answer lies with the royal family and those involved in the Epstein scandal. One thing is certain: this controversy will not go away anytime soon.
The Scholarly Note: We reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment but received no response. Ferguson's spokesperson has maintained that she spoke of her regret about her association with Epstein many years ago, but the email revealed a very different story. The royal family and those involved in the Epstein scandal have much to answer for.
