The Duchess of York has been dropped as patron of two charities after new revelations about her contact with late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Children's charity Julia's House today said it would be 'inappropriate' to stay involved with Sarah Ferguson after her emailed apology to Epstein emerged.

Now the founders of the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation have announced they were severing ties with Sarah, who was previously one of their patrons.

And the Teenage Cancer Trust is also believed to be 'reviewing' her position as patron of that organisation, which she first backed when it opened a first unit in 1990.
