'aghast' 'appalled' 'embarrassed'

Posted by Susan T on February 2, 2026, 8:48 am, in reply to "Fergie/Epstein"

My favorite bit from this article regarding the e-mails:

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

This from the woman who was selling access to her ex-husband. So, should we assume that she was interested in Epstein for reasons other than this money? I love it when users complain when somebody else has used them.

We're all aghast, appalled and embarrassed for the princesses. But one word that hasn't been said is "surprised". No one has been surprised by Sarah's craven nature or the depravity of parading her daughters around a known pedophile. Did she think he was "just" naughty or did she not appreciate the seriousness of his crimes? And it comes back to this - we are not surprised either by her stupidity or her moral bankruptcy.

Sarah always whinges and whines and blames everyone else for her issues, and doesn't hesitate to blast people who treat her the way she treats them. She used Epstein for money but apparently wasn't prepared to be used by him.

Fergie has always been a victim. Her divorce was the fault of the Royal Navy, not her running around with Steve Wynn and John Bryant when Andrew was away on Naval duties. It is rich that she blames Epstein for "using her", she was using Epstein just as much.
That's why I stated Fergie was in the whole sordid operation as much as Andrew, but the press imply it was all Andrew...of course, Fergie kept throwing Andrew under the bus as much as she could.
I'm sure Beatrice and Eugenie are horrified. The media has been going with the story that both daughters have "abandoned" their father and supported their mother. That may change.

"Sarah's Trust" Announces It Will Close After New Revelations

Posted by karenl on February 2, 2026, 9:40 pm, in reply to "Re: 'aghast' 'appalled' 'embarrassed' "

"The charity of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson has announced it will close days after new revelations emerged about the former duchess’s friendship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Sarah’s Trust will close “for the foreseeable future” after “some months” of discussion, a spokesman said.

On Friday, more than three million documents were published by the US Department of Justice relating to Epstein, appearing to reveal more about his contact with Andrew and Sarah.

A spokesman for Sarah’s Trust said on Monday evening: “Our chair Sarah Ferguson and the board of trustees have agreed that with regret the charity will shortly close for the foreseeable future.

“This has been under discussion and in train for some months.

“We remain extremely proud of the work of the trust over recent years"

Sarah: 'no woman has ever left the Royal family with her head' in email sent after 'cash for acces

Posted by Martha on February 3, 2026, 11:11 am, in reply to "Fergie/Epstein"

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'.
