Sarah Ferguson sent an email to Jeffrey Epstein claiming that 'no woman has ever left the Royal family with her head' and that she was being '1000 per cent hung out to dry' after appearing to accept cash for access to her ex-husband.

The former Duchess of York said in July 2010 that she was 'totally on my own now' and was about to be 'exterminated' in the UK due to a series of personal scandals.

The Palace couldn't 'behead' her so 'will discredit me - totally to obliteration', she said in a nod to the executions of Henry VIII’s wives Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard.

Ms Ferguson had written to the paedophile financier in the weeks after she was caught in a tabloid sting appearing to accept $500,000 in return for her securing access to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, then a UK trade envoy.

She then agreed to an interview with Oprah Winfrey where she spoke about how she was facing bankruptcy and could not pay the rent so had taken a room in her ex-husband's Royal Lodge home.

In an attack on the royals as her reputation was in tatters and she ran out of money, Fergie thanked her friend Epstein for being her 'pillar' in an email released in the Epstein Files.

She added: 'Just as I always said, no woman has ever left the Royal Family with her head, and the [sic] cannot behead me, therefore they will discredit me. Totally to obliteration. I have no words.'

In her first email she told Epstein on July 13, 2010: 'Have you died on me? Don't... Please you are my pillar.'

The email chain reveals how Epstein ignored the flattery and said: 'I thought you needed a place for the second week?'.

The paedophile appears to have repeatedly organised accommodation for Fergie in the US, according to the Epstein Files.

She replied: 'Dear Jeffrey, yes I did need a second place for a week?'

She went on: 'And I thank you so much, but just as I predicted many, many months ago, the British press is ready to exterminate me, and it seems that PricewaterhouseCoopers and the palace system are not equipped to deal with all of this huge wave of negativity.

'Therefore I have to return to the UK, and be exterminated and face the thunderous music.

'I am now 1000 per cent being hung out to dry, just as I predicted you will see, the Press will have me exiled. I am totally on my own now.

'This is beyond scandalous and nobody can do anything. I cannot believe what this is all coming to.

'I have to return to face my judge and jury and be hung yet again.'

At the time PwC were auditing her accounts.

It later emerged that Epstein had paid off some of her debts - but she later called it a 'gigantic error'.
