Newly disclosed records indicate that Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, visited disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein twice while he is serving a prison sentence. The reports say the meetings occurred during the period when Epstein was incarcerated for child sex offences. One outlet notes that details of the visits were exposed through records describing her movements and planned engagements, while another reports that she had been preparing for an additional meeting. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Ferguson intended to meet Epstein a third time, but her travel plans do not go ahead at the last minute. Other coverage describes Epstein being referred to as a “special friend” and states that Ferguson met him twice during his imprisonment.
Across the accounts, the central point is that Ferguson’s interactions with Epstein take place while he is in custody for child sexual abuse-related offences, and that there were efforts or plans for at least one further visit that did not occur.
